Abstract

According to examples, area coverage vectors for each pixel on each slice of a digital representation of an object may be determined and a two-dimensional halftone matrix including threshold values may be subdivided into a plurality of sub-matrices, each sub-matrix including threshold values of the halftone matrix in a respective value sub-range. In addition, for each of the slices, a sub-matrix of the plurality of sub-matrices may be selected and the area coverage vectors for the pixels in the slice may be halftoned using respective threshold values of the selected sub-matrix.
