Abstract

This invention relates to a method and apparatus for the electronic screening of a graphic image to be reproduced by printing. The density of the graphic image is determined repetitively during the digital generation of each dot which will form a part of the half-tone image when produced, and the dot is modified according to changes in the density. Thus the structure of any half-tone dot may be modified during its construction.
