Testing textures while uv unwrapping

when people unwrap uvs, people use those.. numbered grids. I was wondering how people were doing that, but i never asked because i didn't want to look like a tard.

but now i definately need it coz im stuck on something.

could anyone tell me how people do it? is it a feature in uv texture editor? or are they using a picture file to actually put in shader?

im talking about those... colored, tiled, numbered texture. Thx. Now i look like a tard, but dang.. it sucks w/o them to unwrap uv's and b&w checkers make my eyes hurt.

It's simply a texture map. In fact, I read in the mole man that you used Mike's book... there is a grid file on the accompanying CD.
