# Simple Dithering Library

Source: https://developer.repebble.com/community/libraries/simple-dithering-library/

**UPDATE** - _June 17, 2015_

## Now supports the full range of RGB colors (255x255x255)! Check out [this forum post](https://forums.getpebble.com/discussion/comment/144191/#Comment_144191) for more info.

This library provides easy functions for creating dithered rectangles and circles, using either random or ordered dithering.

By using 50% dithering, developers are able to combine every color available in Basalt, resulting in a new color palette of about 343 different colors. This is possible since 50% dithering is so small that the human eye perceives this as a single color.

There are also functions for creating gradients, as well as animated transitions between two colors.
