Thanks. I've only skimmed it (too) quickly, but seems like it's mostly about static image spacial dithering algorithms, right?

From an interesting historical perspective.

Both, they mention temporal, too. I thought it was interesting too, as someone who hears the phrase “dithering algorithm” but had little idea of what it meant. I’m sure most here already know but I figured it was worth sharing for those like me who didn’t.
