Help making a checkerboard

[cappin]

I'm making a checkerboard for a board game. Using the GEGL operation checkers. Trying to make it 11cm tall by 13cm wide. A total of 143cm cubes. This attachment is the best I can do but its one pixel off and zoomed out 33%.

So whats the problem ?

Have you set up your document for printing (=300dpi) ??

A checkerboard could also be made with a custom pattern.

Yes I set it to 300dpi and centimeteres. 13cm wide by 11cm tall. For some reason its cutoff on the right and zoomed out to 33%. My goal is to make a template for a board game.

Not sure what you mean with zoom. You can set the zoom to whatever level you like at the bottom of the canvas.

The squares are probably cut off because it doesnt fit with the math.
What size do you want one square to be ? Or do you want a specific number of rows and columns ?

I want 13cm cubes wide by 11cm cubes tall... So 143 cubes total? The GEGL operation thing doesn't make sense when trying to input centimeters. Can you attach a .xcf with these dimensions?

Do you want the same colour scheme ?

Yeah same color would be awesome. If these dimensions don't work 5x5 inches or 12.7x12.7cm might be better.
