Abstract
A discrete pattern, formed by dots discretely arranged in two dimensions, is provided wherein the dots are generated in a low discrepancy sequence. The dots are preferably generated in a discrete pattern wherein the square of discrepancy D satisfies the formula,D≦0.13N−1.15 (1)Further, the method provides for generation of, and the appartus provides implementation of, a discrete pattern even when the filling factor rapidly changes by automatically generating or deleting dots.
