InterleavedGradientNoiseDitherer Class


InterleavedGradientNoiseDitherer Class	KGy SOFT Drawing Libraries Help

Provides an IDitherer implementation for applying an interleaved gradient noise pattern to the dithered result. For other noise-like ditherers see the OrderedDitherer.BlueNoise property and the RandomNoiseDitherer class.
See the Remarks section for details and some examples.

Remarks

Note
The noise generated by the InterleavedGradientNoiseDitherer is not random but based on a formula so using the same source image, quantizer and strength produces always the same result (similarly to the BlueNoise ditherer, which is based on ordered dithering). To dither images with real random noise use the RandomNoiseDitherer, which applies white noise to the quantized source.

The following table demonstrates the effect of the dithering:

Original image	Quantized image
Color hues with alpha gradient	Quantizing with system default 8 BPP palette, no dithering Quantizing with system default 8 BPP palette and interleaved gradient noise dithering
Grayscale color shades	Quantizing with black and white palette, no dithering Quantizing with black and white palette and interleaved gradient noise dithering
