There seems to be some confusion as to the difference between dithering and halftoning. Newspapers are halftoned, with different sized dots, while TV is dithered. In dithering, a pattern of pixels is used to simulate a color by having the visual system combine (usually different) individual colors into a color not readily obtainable. I'm rather new to this newsgroup, and have a question. Are personal attacks and smug remarks commonplace, or is this a place to try to work together to advance the state of multimedia systems? I hope that it is the latter, because there is a real need for such a group. If it is the former, then we are wasting a lot of bandwidth for hot air.
