This article introduces dithering, a technique that creates the illusion of more colors by arranging black and white pixels. It explains how dithering simulates gray shades and discusses the ordered dithering method using a threshold map. The author plans to expand on algorithms in future parts.

This article explores a creative approach to representing software dependencies using a stacked tower metaphor. The author details the challenges of eliminating edge crossings in a directed acyclic graph (DAG) and outlines a structured method to manage complex dependency relationships through transitive reduction, edge shortening, and planarity repair.
