Fix moiré on some monitors with a checkerboard pattern
The checkboard looks absolutely great on my Formac and Apple LCD displays. I had fun playing with it. I noticed that while I drag the Preview picture window around on the Formac, the checkerboard turns slightly greenish in hue, whereas on the Apple it turns kind of reddish. Also, it looks solid from a distance, but viewed up close all kinds of freaky ripple effects zip around (evidently an optical illusion, rather than something intrinsic to the hardware). In 2001 I created something similar, which you can download from here: calibration-wallpaper-1024.png. It doesn't test the whole screen in the same way, but it tests for more things. The top left corner is the same as what this person posted; the one to the right of it has broken lines (if the horizontal or vertical lines appear NOT broken, something in your monitor's pixel alignment needs to be adjusted); the next is vertical lines; the next row down has a finer dot grid, then horizontal, and finally diagonal lines. The top left, top right, and bottom middle grid should all appear the same shade of gray from a distance. There are also RGB and CMY squares to test color purity.
