What display quality should I use for my images? The best display quality depends on the type of image being viewed. For 24 bit images displayed on a 256 color adapter the default behavior is to convert the image at display time to 256 colors using a simple Bayer matrix dither. You can change this to a better quality diffusion dithering using the IMGLOW_set_dithermode(). This will however take a little longer to display. By far the best quality for 24 bit images can be obtained using the IMG_octree_color() function call. Use 256 for the number of colors to optimize to. This call will permanently change the image to an 8 bit image so you need only call the function once. The image will contain an optimized palette so you will only be able to display on quality image at a time. For bi-level or 1 bit per pixel i
