The latest IMs (v6.3) saw a major expansion to the order-dither function
that I spent a month working on to get right, and as a direct result of
a new technique developed in IM Examples.
  DIY Dither Patterns
    http://www.cit.gu.edu.au/~anthony/graphics/imagick6/quantize/#diy_dither

As a result of this...

You can list the available ordered dither threshold maps, and their
backward compatibility alias name...

   convert -list threshold

You can now define your own personal ordered dither maps!!!
For example a diagonal shadowing map for GIF...

and you can use a posterized, or mathematical color table, for
generallized ordered dithering of images.

For animations this type of dithering is much better than the error
correctly dithering, as it does not generate large areas of color
differences, for a small change (even a single pixel change) to an
image.  See

Error Correction Dithering problems...

I have not however gotten around to updating GIF animation pages with
this discussion and techniques as I am concentrating on some other
things.  As such GIF animation color optimizations are a little output
date now.
