Abstract
Abstract A method for multiplying screen frequency in an electronic half-tone screening process is disclosed. The X and Y-coordinate values are determined for each X-Y coordinate element in at least one matrix of the screening function period. A modulo operation is performed on both the X-coordinate value x and the Y-coordinate value y according to: and .

A method for multiplying screen frequency in an electronic half-tone screening process having a screen function period with at least one matrix of X-Y coordinate elements, said method comprising the steps of: A. determining the X-coordinate values of a plurality of X-Y coordinate elements in said at least one matrix of the screen function period; B. determining the Y-coordinate values of a plurality of X-Y coordinate elements in said at least one matrix of the screen function period; C. performing a modulo operation on the X-coordinate value x of each X-Y coordinate element according to: x(m * x + K r , D r ) - K r where m is an integer, K r is a rounding constant and D r is a domain range; D. performing a modulo operation on the Y-coordinate value y of each X-Y coordinate element according to: y(m * x + K r , D r ) - K r where m is an integer, K r is a rounding constant and D r is a domain range.
