Dithering
Currently there are two dithering algorithms implemented. Both takes an RGB888 24bit image as input and are able to produce any RGB or Grayscale image. This filters doesn’t work in-place as the result has different pixel type.
Floyd-Steinberg
Classical Floyd-Steinberg. Produces good results and is a little faster than the Hilbert-Peano dithering.
The error is distributed to neighbor pixels as follows:
X |
7/16 |
|
3/16 |
5/16 |
1/16 |
And is throwed away at the image borders.
Renders Floyd Steinberg dithering directly into passed pixmap. The destination must be at least as large as source.
If operation was aborted by a callback, non-zero is returned.
Not all pixel types all supported. If particular combination is not supported the function returns non-zero and sets errno to ENOSYS.
#include <gfxprim.h> /* or */ #include <filters/gp_dither.h> gp_pixmap *gp_filter_floyd_steinberg_alloc(const gp_pixmap *src, gp_pixel_type pixel_type, gp_progress_cb *callback);
Returns pointer to allocated pixmap of given pixel_type.
If malloc(2) has failed, or operation was aborted by a callback NULL is returned.
Not all pixel types all supported. If particular combination is not supported the function returns NULL and sets errno to ENOSYS.
Hilbert-Peano
Hilbert-Peano space filling curve based dithering.
The error value is distributed around the Hilbert curve.
The result is a little more noisy, but doesn’t create repeating patterns like Floyd-Steinberg which looks generally better to human eye. On the other hand edges tend to be less sharp.
