  Threshold Maps for Ordered Posterized Dither

Each "<threshold>" element defines the map name, description, and an array
  of "levels" used to provide the threshold map for ordered dithering and
  digital halftoning.

The "alias" attribute provides a backward compatible name for this threshold
  map (pre-dating IM v6.2.9-6), and are deprecated.

The description is a english description of what the threshold map achieves
  and is only used for 'listing' the maps.

The map itself is a rectangular array of integers or threshold "levels"
  of the given "width" and "height" declared within the enclosing <levels>
  element.  That is "width*height" integers or "levels" *must* be provided
  within each map.

Each of the "levels" integer values (each value representing the threshold
  intensity "level/divisor" at which that pixel is turned on.  The "levels"
  integers given can be any positive integers between "0" and the "divisor",
  excluding those limits.

The "divisor" not only defines the upper limit and threshold divisor for each
  "level" but also the total number of pseudo-levels the threshold mapping
  creates and fills with a dither pattern.  That is a ordered bitmap dither
  of a pure greyscale gradient will use a maximum of "divisor" ordered bitmap
  patterns, including the patterns with all the pixels 'on' and all the pixel
  'off'. It may define less patterns than that, but the color channels will
  be thresholded in units based on "divisor".

Alternatively for a multi-level posterization, ImageMagick inserts
  "divisor-2" dither patterns (as defined by the threshold map) between each of
  channel color level produced.

For example the map "o2x2" has a divisor of 5, which will define 3 bitmap
  patterns plus the patterns with all pixels 'on' and 'off'.  A greyscale
  gradient will thus have 5 distinct areas.

  Halftones - Angled 45 degrees

Initially added to ImageMagick by Glenn Randers-Pehrson, IM v6.2.8-6,
  modified to be more symmetrical with intensity by Anthony, IM v6.2.9-7

These patterns initially start as circles, but then form diamonds
  pattern at the 50% threshold level, before forming negated circles,
  as it approached the other threshold extreme.

  Halftones - Orthogonally Expanding Circle Patterns

Added by Glenn Randers-Pehrson, 4 Nov 2010, ImageMagick 6.6.5-6

Rather than producing a diamond 50% threshold pattern, these
  continue to generate larger (overlapping) circles.  They are
  more like a true halftone pattern formed by covering a surface
  with either pure white or pure black circular dots.

WARNING: true halftone patterns only use true circles even in
  areas of highly varying intensity.  Threshold dither patterns
  can generate distorted circles in such areas.
