$ magick -size ${640x480} pattern:checkerboard ${checkerboard-png}

try on your machine

The provided command is using the "magick" utility to generate a checkerboard pattern and save it as a PNG image file.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

"magick": This is the command-line utility used for image manipulation and conversion. It is often associated with the ImageMagick software.
"-size ${640x480}": This option specifies the size of the image to be generated. In this case, the image is set to have a width of 640 pixels and a height of 480 pixels. The values inside ${} are placeholders that likely need to be replaced with actual values.
"pattern:checkerboard": This argument defines the pattern to be created. In this case, it is a checkerboard pattern.
"${checkerboard-png}": This is the output file name for the generated image. The "${}" notation suggests it is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with an actual file name. The image will be saved as a PNG file.

To run the command successfully, you need to replace the placeholders ${640x480} and ${checkerboard-png} with appropriate values, such as the desired width and height for the image and the desired file name for the resulting image.
