Halftone dotted map and 3D globe look

Halftone

Newspaper print, browser-rendered

Halftone is the print preset. Circular dots scale by brightness, like mid-century newspaper photos and magazine spreads where a black-and-white image was screened down to a grid of dots of different sizes. Use Halftone when you want the globe to look printed. The cellSize control sets the dot pitch (a smaller cell gives a finer, denser pattern), and intensity goes from a soft halftone to a hard binary pattern that gets close to Bayer at the maximum.

When to use this

  • Magazine spread or editorial header where print feel matters
  • Annual report covers and section dividers
  • Vinyl sleeve or risograph-adjacent print collateral
