OrderedDithererBayer3x3 Property

Gets an OrderedDitherer using the standard Bayer 3x3 matrix.

Definition

Namespace: KGySoft.Drawing.Imaging
Assembly: KGySoft.Drawing.Core (in KGySoft.Drawing.Core.dll) Version: 8.1.0
C#
public static OrderedDitherer Bayer3x3 { get; }

Property Value

OrderedDitherer

Example

The following example demonstrates how to use the ditherer returned by this property:
C#
public static IReadWriteBitmapData ToDitheredBayer3x3(IReadWriteBitmapData source, IQuantizer quantizer)
{
    IDitherer ditherer = OrderedDitherer.Bayer3x3;

    // a.) this solution returns a new bitmap data and does not change the original one:
    return source.Clone(quantizer.PixelFormatHint, quantizer, ditherer);

    // b.) alternatively, you can perform the dithering directly on the source bitmap data:
    source.Dither(quantizer, ditherer);
    return source;
}

The example above may produce the following results:

Original image
Quantized and dithered image

Color hues with alpha gradient
Color hues with alpha gradient

Grayscale color shades with different bit depths
Grayscale color shades

Grayscale color shades with black and white palette using Bayer 3x3 ordered dithering
