Abstract
Digital signals defining a bit mapped primary image are stored in a data processing system and displayed on a color monitor. These signals are processed by breaking down or separating the primary image into a set of areas where the pixels within each area have the same color. The set of areas is then analyzed to select a group of a minimum number of subgroups, which group contains all of the different areas. Different color/dither patterns are assigned to represent the different subgroups. Then, a derivative bit mapped image is produced in which the assigned representations are used, and the derivative image is then printed or displayed.
