Controls

cell
Side of one cell in source pixels. Dots are counted per cell, so a larger cell scatters them wider
density
How much ink the picture gets overall. Low leaves even the shadows sparse, with paper showing through
dot size
Changes the grain, not the tone: fewer large dots carry the same ink as many small ones
jitter
How far a dot may stray from the middle of its cell. At zero the scatter hardens into a grid
contrast
A number from -1 to 1, 0 by default.
ink
A colour, #000000 by default.
paper
A colour, #ffffff by default.
invert
On or off, off by default.
