[comp.sources.wanted] Dither Patterns

nolan@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu (Michael C Nolan) (06/10/89)

Does anybody know where I can find (or how to generate) 8 by 8 and
16 by 16 dither patterns?

Thanks.

(comp.graphics is a pretty good place to ask this question.  Must be,
since it gets asked there so often.)
