checker_crossings(cell_width = getOption("ppdf.checker_cell_width", 1))

checker_dao(cell_width = getOption("ppdf.checker_cell_width", 1))

checker_dodgem(
  nrows = 3L,
  cell_width = getOption("ppdf.checker_cell_width", 1)
)

checker_focus(cell_width = getOption("ppdf.checker_cell_width", 1))

checker_four_field_kono(cell_width = getOption("ppdf.checker_cell_width", 1))

checker_grasshopper(cell_width = getOption("ppdf.checker_cell_width", 1))

checker_jeson_mor(cell_width = getOption("ppdf.checker_cell_width", 1))

checker_julgonu(cell_width = getOption("ppdf.checker_cell_width", 1))

checker_kangaroo(cell_width = getOption("ppdf.checker_cell_width", 1))

checker_lines_of_action(cell_width = getOption("ppdf.checker_cell_width", 1))
