This implementation is great and the interface brings back memories. I was wondering why my Atkinson dithering web-component[0] was getting more hits today - sad news. I’ve always thought that Atkinson dithering produces the nicest images on really crisp monitors like the original Mac - something about it just looks cool and 80s which is why I used it in a game last year.

Interesting that one of the size options is 512x384, not 512x342 which was the original mac resolution.

Edit: Sorry - I misread what you were saying and intended this as a correction, but you had it right all along.
If you want to do this in Python, there's: https://github.com/tgray/hyperdither

In his defence, that attribute has been available in browsers since March 2017 according to your link [1], whereas the most recent commit in the repo for the dithering tool was in March 2016 by the looks of it. https://github.com/gazs/canvas-atkinson-dither He’s still active on GitHub though, in other repos. Maybe he will accept a pull request? :) [1]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLAnchorE...
Oh, I assumed it had been recently built and probably posted today by its author given the news and the lack of a year in the title. I'll open a PR. edit: I might open a PR. 'CoffeeScript...now there's a name I've not heard in a long time. A long time...'

There's no guarantee that the site's creator is (or becomes) aware of this thread, so when possibly it's nice to give them a heads-up! I have just done so: https://github.com/gazs/canvas-atkinson-dither/issues/2
Is it the same Atkinson that died today and is this a tribute ?
In a sense, but the first commit in the repository was 15 years ago - it's not something that someone whipped up in response to the news.
p.s. dithermark.com is super cool also.
