| * `Uniform Choice` is the simplest strategy. It chooses `n` colors uniformly in the entire color space, regardless of the colors used in the image. If the image has a dominant color, the means created by this strategy will likely be very far away from the clusters formed by this dominant color. You can try setting the `Uniform Choice` strategy with 1, 10 and 30 steps. You will notice the initial choice is quite bad, but the quality improves as the k-means algorithm is applied in more steps. | * `Uniform Choice` is the simplest strategy.

This yields good results if the image has few dominant colors, but it cannot handle subtle nuances in the image.

| * `Uniform Random` is the most complex strategy to pick means, but it also produces the best results. It works by uniformly splitting the color space in sub-spaces. It then counts the number of pixels that have colors belonging to that sub-space. Based on this number, it chooses a proportional number of means in the sub-space, by randomly sampling from the pixels in that sub-space. Therefore, if your image has dominant colors, this strategy will drop a proportional number of means for each dominant color, thus allowing the k-means algorithm to capture fine nuances. | * `Uniform Random` is the most complex strategy to pick means, but it also produces the best results.
