When to Use It
Use Halftone when you need converts the terrain or mask into a halftone-style rendered output.

| Pattern | Specifies the halftone pattern or dithering algorithm used to convert a black and white map into halftone shading. Each pattern produces a distinct visual effect, simulating various print or screen halftone styles.
Floyd SteinbergApplies Floyd-Steinberg error diffusion dithering, producing a classic, high-quality halftone effect with smooth gradients.
RiemersmaUses Riemersma dithering, which distributes error along a space-filling curve for a unique, less directional halftone appearance.
O 2 X 2Uses a 2x2 ordered dithering matrix to create a small, repeating halftone pattern.
O 3 X 3Uses a 3x3 ordered dithering matrix for a slightly larger, repeating halftone pattern.
O 4 X 4Uses a 4x4 ordered dithering matrix, producing a more detailed and less repetitive halftone effect.
O 8 X 8Applies an 8x8 ordered dithering matrix for fine, detailed halftone shading with minimal visible repetition.
H 6 X 6 aUses a 6x6 halftone matrix (variant A) for a larger, more complex dot pattern.
H 8 X 8 aApplies an 8x8 halftone matrix (variant A), generating a dense and detailed halftone texture.
H 6 X 6 OApplies a 6x6 halftone matrix (variant O), producing a unique halftone pattern with distinct dot placement.
H 8 X 8 OUses an 8x8 halftone matrix (variant O), providing a dense and alternative halftone style.
C 5 X 5 BUses a 5x5 circular halftone matrix with black dots, simulating traditional print halftone screens.
C 5 X 5 WUses a 5x5 circular halftone matrix with white dots, inverting the typical halftone dot style.
C 6 X 6 BApplies a 6x6 circular halftone matrix with black dots for a slightly larger dot pattern.
C 6 X 6 WUses a 6x6 circular halftone matrix with white dots, providing an inverted halftone effect.
C 7 X 7 BApplies a 7x7 circular halftone matrix with black dots, creating a larger, more pronounced dot pattern.
C 7 X 7 WUses a 7x7 circular halftone matrix with white dots, offering a bold, inverted halftone style.
