The necessary hardware is built-in with the graphics cards of the
8 bit HP workstations. By using a special kind of dithering algorithm,
this hardware can make the dithered image look like a smooth 24 bit
image, instead of the usual grainy dithered appearance.
Support of Color Recovery in 3DGO and GIGVIZ
Display of 24 bit images using ColorRecovery is supported by ELECTROGIG's
showtiff and
tifflip tools.
Also the new Flipbook
tool checks for ColorRecovery on 8 bit HP machines.
It is not used for the display of the graphical user-interface, nor for
the immediate display of the models (wireframe, flatshaded, raytraced or
raysketched). To view an image with ColorRecovery, raytrace or raysketch
the model, then view the image with
get picture.
Obviously, ColorRecovery is not available on SGI and Sun workstations.
