In-Depth Information
The perception of spatial depth occurs among dots that are different sizes; a larger dot advances
in front of a smaller one. Changing the relative tonal values of the dots, however, can create an
ambiguous spatial tension among the dots, even though their relative sizes remain the same.
A tremendous number of small dots create (A) a regularized pattern or (B) a randomized texture.
The darkness or lightness of these dots depends on density—how close the dots are to each other.
