What is partial dotting?
A. To produce a pictorial glyphtone, a graphic image is required as input. When partial dotting is turned off, each pixel in the input image aesthetically represent a cell in the generated DataGlyph. When partial dotting is turned on, each pixel in the input image aesthetically represents a pixel in the generated DataGlyph. Typically people will use larger input images with partial dotting, and smaller input images when not using partial dotting. Glyphtones with partial dotting can look slightly better than their counterparts without partial dotting. This comes at a slight cost in decoding robustness.
