Although I'm confident the author himself would never do anything malicious, you're right to express caution about viewing external images.
Fortunately (if you haven't guessed already) you can work out what's required from studying the Ring code which is drawing a square matrix which has 1's on both diagonals and 0's elsewhere. --PureFox (talk) 09:38, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
