INTRO

Description This code utilizes a variety of dithering methods to convert each image pixel from a 24 bit color into a 9 bit color. By reducing the number of colors in an image, we can use the color pixels in the Monospace font in Space Engineers to “draw” the image on a text panel without the need for mods.
