Abstract:
A technique is described for displaying functions of two independent variables on a matrix of bilevel display cells. The function value is associated with an n-level grey scale which is simulated by the ordered dither processing technique. Using only one cell per coordinate pair, ordered dither gives the subjective effect of grey scale through the appropriate spatial arrangement of on and off cells. Aside from subjective advantages, this technique executes much faster and requires considerably less memory than conventional contouring or 3-D perspective methods when the function is given as a large matrix array.
