CodeLab 5.4 Released

This is only for Paint.NET 4.2.11+!

(This is the last update before toe_head2001 rewrites the entire compiler section.)

 

I've tried to read the docs to understand what it's all about but the links are broken at https://www.boltbait.com/pdn/CodeLab/

[Error diffusion dithering]

@ChrisJS, thanks for your feedback! Yes, it would be great to be able to choose a custom palette. But first, I need to learn how to work with paint.net palettes because, I never came across this. I also plan to add another color quantization algorithm. Currently, automatic colors are generated by dividing image RGB space into equal volumes. The new algorithm will use octree for color quantization.

Hi Pavlik, thanks for your plug-in. It was very useful for comparing various algorithms for converting different types of images to monochrome bitmaps. Any chance you'd release a new version soon as you mentioned? I think it would also be good to see other methods:

- Gradient-based error-diffusion dithering mentioned in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dither 

- A Simple and Efficient Error-Diffusion Algorithm (https://perso.liris.cnrs.fr/victor.ostromoukhov/publications/pdf/SIGGRAPH01_varcoeffED.pdf )
