## Options
colors
: (`string array`) A slice of two or more colors that make up the dithering palette, each expressed as an RGB or RGBA [hexadecimal] value, with or without a leading hash mark. The default values are opaque black (`000000ff`) and opaque white (`ffffffff`).
[hexadecimal]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/hex-color
method
: (`string`) The dithering method. See the [dithering methods](#dithering-methods) section below for a list of the available methods. Default is `FloydSteinberg`.
serpentine
: (`bool`) Applicable to error diffusion dithering methods, serpentine controls whether the error diffusion matrix is applied in a serpentine manner, meaning that it goes right-to-left every other line. This greatly reduces line-type artifacts. Default is `true`.
strength
: (`float`) The strength at which to apply the dithering matrix, typically a value in the range [0, 1]. A value of `1.0` applies the dithering matrix at 100% strength (no modification of the dither matrix). The `strength` is inversely proportional to contrast; reducing the strength increases the contrast. Setting `strength` to a value such as `0.8` can be useful to reduce noise in the dithered image. Default is `1.0`.
## Usage
Create the options map:
```go-html-template
{{ $opts := dict
"colors" (slice "222222" "808080" "dddddd")
"method" "ClusteredDot4x4"
"strength" 0.85
}}
```
Create the filter:
```go-html-template
{{ $filter := images.Dither $opts }}
```
Or create the filter using the default settings:
```go-html-template
{{ $filter := images.Dither }}
```
{{% include "functions/images/_common/apply-image-filter.md" %}}
## Dithering methods
See the [Go documentation] for descriptions of each of the dithering methods below.

- JarvisJudiceNinke
- Sierra
- Sierra2
- Sierra2_4A
- Sierra3
- SierraLite
- Simple2D

Ordered dithering methods:
- ClusteredDot4x4

- ClusteredDot6x6_3
- ClusteredDot8x8
- ClusteredDotDiagonal16x16

## Example
This example uses the default dithering options.
{{< img
src="images/examples/zion-national-park.jpg"
alt="Zion National Park"
filter="Dither"
filterArgs=""
example=true
>}}
## Recommendations
Regardless of dithering method, do both of the following to obtain the best results:
1. Scale the image _before_ dithering
2. Output the image to a lossless format such as GIF or PNG
The example below does both of these, and it sets the dithering palette to the three most dominant colors in the image.
```go-html-template
{{ with resources.Get "original.jpg" }}
{{ $opts := dict
"method" "ClusteredDotSpiral5x5"
"colors" (first 3 .Colors)
}}
{{ $filters := slice
(images.Process "resize 800x")
(images.Dither $opts)
(images.Process "png")
}}
{{ with . | images.Filter $filters }}
<img src="{{ .RelPermalink }}" width="{{ .Width }}" height="{{ .Height }}" alt="">
{{ end }}
{{ end }}
```
For best results, if the dithering palette is grayscale, convert the image to grayscale before dithering.
```go-html-template
{{ $opts := dict "colors" (slice "222" "808080" "ddd") }}
{{ $filters := slice
(images.Process "resize 800x")
(images.Grayscale)
(images.Dither $opts)
(images.Process "png")
}}
{{ with images.Filter $filters . }}
<img src="{{ .RelPermalink }}" width="{{ .Width }}" height="{{ .Height }}" alt="">
{{ end }}
```
The example above:
1. Resizes the image to be 800 px wide
2. Converts the image to grayscale
3. Dithers the image using the default (`FloydSteinberg`) dithering method with a grayscale palette
4. Converts the image to the PNG format
