Hello all,

I am new to processing and the forums. Hi.  I was inspired to get into processing by these projects.

I am hoping to accomplish something similar, but instead of having point widths represent pixel averages I would like to have the output image be of a larger resolution and represent the pixel averages by point density.

For example, if my source image was 3 pixels wide and 1 high, with one full black pixel, one gray pixel, and one white pixel.  I would want the output image to be proportionally larger 30x10 or 300x100 w/e sectioned off into three areas representing the original images pixels.  The section of the output image representing the original full black pixel would have many points (or ellipses of a fixed width) scattered randomly thought its section.  The grey would have fewer points/ellipses based on its original calculated average, and the white would have none.

Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.
