Controls the dithering of polygons and blits.
FORTRAN (libfgl.a)
void set_dither (Int32 mode)
SUBROUTINE SETDITHER (mode) INTEGER*4 mode
The set_dither subroutine controls whether dithering is applied to blits and polygons. Dithering is a type of rounding or truncating of 24-bit pixel color values to make them fit in a smaller (typically 8-bit) frame buffer. Dithering avoids the sharp changes in color (Mach banding) that normally occur when all pixel color values are truncated in the same way. Dithering helps maintain the impression of smooth shading in small frame buffers.
Note: To enable dithering of both polygons and blits, call set_dither with the bitwise-OR of both the DITHER_POLYGONS and DITHER_BLITS flags. Calling set_dither with just one of these two flags will automatically disable the other mode.
