.SH DESCRIPTION
.IR rlegrid
generates simple grid and checkboard patterns.  


.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.BI \-b " bg_color"
Specifies the background color value.  Should between 0 and 255.
Default is 0.
.TP
.B \-c 
Generate checkboards.  With the 
.B -c 
option, rlegrid will generate
a checkboard with squares of size 
.I "width"
on a side.  Squares will alternate between the foreground and background
colors.

Without the 
.B -c

.I width
apart and will be in the foreground color.  The remainder
of the image will be in the background color.
.TP
.BI \-f " fg_color"
Specifies the background color value.  Should between 0 and 255.
Default is 255.

Specifies where to place the resulting image.  The default is to write
to stdout.  If
.I outfile
is "\-", the output will be written to the standard output stream.
.TP
.BI \-s " xsize yssize"
This is the size of the resulting image.  Default is 512x512.
