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.
