Backgrounds

Stipple

A flowing luminance field crushed to ink and paper by error diffusion. Each cell's quantization error is pushed onto its unvisited neighbours in a serpentine scan, so mid-tones resolve into the organic scattered grain of a stippled engraving instead of a fixed lattice. Atkinson forwards only three-quarters of the error, which is why the classic-Mac look keeps its blown highlights. Floyd–Steinberg and Sierra spread all of it for a smoother ramp. The field is diffused on the CPU into an ImageData at one cell per CSS pixel-group, then scaled up with smoothing off, so the grid survives retina intact.
