Increasing the density of a pattern's components creates a change in darkness, or value. Changes
in pattern density, or value, may be stepped, as in the example above (A), or continuous, as in the
grid of dots, right (B). While the continous transition from lighter to darker values in the dot grid
is smooth, and less geometric in appearance, the pattern still retains its mechanical quality in con-
trast to texture.
