Dithering Methods

• Threshold: Converts pixels to black or white based on a single intensity level, creating a simple, high-contrast, two-tone image.
• Floyd-Steinberg (Normal): Distributes error to neighboring pixels, creates a well-balanced and widely used classic dither pattern.
• Floyd-Steinberg (Reduced Bleeding): Distributes error primarily downwards, minimizing horizontal "streaking" or "bleeding" artifacts.
• Jarvis-Judice-Ninke: Spreads the error across a wider area of pixels, resulting in a smoother appearance with less noticeable patterns.
• Stucki: Similar to Jarvis-Judice-Ninke but distributes error with slightly different weights, often appearing a bit sharper overall.
• Atkinson: Distributes error with emphasis on preserving finer details, creating a subtle and less visually intrusive dither.
• Burkes: A simplified Floyd-Steinberg variant with less error propagation, resulting in a slightly lighter dither and faster processing.
• Positioned: Uses a predefined, spatially arranged set of patterns, often repeating, for a more structured or geometric dither effect.
• Lattice-Boltzmann (Simulated): Simulates a fluid-like error diffusion across pixels, achieving a more organic-looking dither pattern, but with simplified computation.
