Documentation and software support

Checkerboard can be run either through the highly-interactive Rescharts interface or as a batch-capable fixed module. The key documentation for getting started is Using Checkerboard Part 1, found in the Checkerboard section of the Documentation page. Checkerboard provides the most accurate distortion measurements.
