I would propose to add half tones patterns to svg filters primitives. I think adding them at this level could be extremely powerful and useful for designers like turbulence is already.
No need for a lot of settings (most of them like color could be controlled by their association with other primitives) ; only frequencies (x and y), shape, angle and eventually other ones proposed by print specialists.

Maybe it's a good idea to use the newsprint filter from GIMP as a reference. That plugin covers pretty much all the needed settings and having a filter with similar settings in inkscape would bring some consistency between those apps, which is a plus.

Hi Ivan,
Could you elaborate a bit about your suggestion. The SVG WG briefly discussed half tones in the context of improved patterns.[1] Could you have a try at specifying what the filter primitive would look like? And what the output would like like given some kind of input?
Thanks,
Tav
