Mask Dots

This is the original "dots" where the masking algorithm was discovered/invented. The original motivation was to find a method to "optimally" place disks on the plane. While unsuited for that purpose, they do create a nice dither/halftone pattern and they have some other interesting properties to be revealed later.

The solid colors on the right have the same gray-scale density as the dither pattern on the left.
