Half-tone
(gcide) | Half-tone \Half"-tone`\ (h[aum]f"t[=o]n`), a.
Having, consisting of, or pertaining to, half tones; specif.
(Photo-engraving), pertaining to or designating plates,
processes, or the pictures made by them, in which gradation
of tone in the photograph is reproduced by a graduated system
of dotted and checkered spots, usually nearly invisible to

camera and the object of a screen. The name alludes to the
fact that this process was the first that was practically
successful in reproducing the half tones of the photograph.
