# MDLCheckerboardTexture

A generator of texel data that creates a checkerboard pattern with two specified colors.

## Declaration

```swift
class MDLCheckerboardTexture
```

## Overview

Overview Like other procedural MDLTexture subclasses, the MDLCheckerboardTexture class generates texel data only when that data is first referenced, and then caches it for future use.

## Topics

### Creating a Checkerboard Texture

- [init(divisions:name:dimensions:channelCount:channelEncoding:color1:color2:)](modelio/mdlcheckerboardtexture/init(divisions:name:dimensions:channelcount:channelencoding:color1:color2:).md)

### Configuring the Checkerboard Pattern
