Overview

A checkerboard generator — for checking transforms, aspect, and filtering.

How to

How-to

  1. Set size in pixels and the two colours; the format knobs set the frame.
  2. Use it to check transforms, aspect and filtering — a checker that swims shows a bad resample.

Parameters

ParameterTypeDefaultWhat it does
sizeFloat64.0Square size in pixels.
color0Color[0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 1.0]The first colour.
color1Color[0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 1.0]The second colour.
format_widthInt1920Width in pixels.
format_heightInt1080Height in pixels.
pixel_aspectFloat1.0Pixel width ÷ height. 1 = square; 2 = anamorphic 2× squeeze. The viewer and every filter honour it, so a squeezed plate looks right and resamples right.
disabledBoolfalseBypass: the node passes its first input through untouched (D in the graph). The knobs keep their values for when it comes back.
labelTextA note shown under the node in the graph — what this node is FOR. Never affects the render or the cache.
