How to make a checkerboard in numpy?

Question

I\'m using numpy to initialize a pixel array to a gray checkerboard (the classic representation for \"no pixels\", or transparent). It seems like there ought to be a whizzy

Answer 1

I modified hass's answer as follows.

import math
import numpy as np

def checkerboard(w, h, c0, c1, blocksize):
        tile = np.array([[c0,c1],[c1,c0]]).repeat(blocksize, axis=0).repeat(blocksize, axis=1)
        grid = np.tile(tile,(int(math.ceil((h+0.0)/(2*blocksize))),int(math.ceil((w+0.0)/(2*blocksize)))))
        return grid[:h,:w]
