MacPaint shipped with the first Macintosh on 24 January 1984: Bill Atkinson's program, Susan Kare's interface, a 512 by 342 screen with one bit per pixel. Tone came from eight-by-eight repeating patterns or from Atkinson's own dither, which diffuses only three quarters of the error.
There was no grey on that screen, so every photograph became a speckle and every fill a pattern. Discarding a quarter of the error makes the dither crisper and blows out the highlights and shadows, which is the look. Striped title bars and sharp-cornered dialogs came from the same single bit.
The plate is a MacPaint window at two to one. The document is a grid of tones: white paper, a brick pattern from an eight-by-eight bit mask, and the figure with its shading. The grid goes through an Atkinson error-diffusion pass and comes out pure black and white. Tool palette, pattern bar and title stripes are drawn once.
