@@ -23,6 +27,8 @@ LED Layouts
Some examples are written for a specific LED layout or art project, some examples are general-purpose. For examples that use a specific LED layout, we indicate this with a naming convention. For example, if a project "potato" were written for a 48x24 grid, it would be named "grid48x24_potato".
Some of the generic examples (Specifically, the C++ and Node.js ones) can load separate layout files. These are in the same JSON notation used by the [Open Pixel Control](http://openpixelcontrol.org) project, and we use the same naming scheme for those JSON files.
Layout names we use so far:
* grid8x8 - A simple left-to-right top-to-bottom 8x8 pixel grid

* grid24x8z - Three 8x8 zig-zag grids side by side
* Channel 0 is the center, and may be used alone.
* For example, three of the 8x8 grids from [RGB-123](http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/311408456/rgb-123-led-matrices)
* grid32x8z - A 4x2 grid of 8x8 zig-zag grids
* Channel 0 is the top-left grid, channel 7 is the bottom-right
* For example, eight of the 8x8 grids from [RGB-123](http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/311408456/rgb-123-led-matrices)
* strip64 - A single 64-pixel LED strip
* triangle16 - A subdivided equilateral triangle with 16 pixels
* window6x12 - A complex window display layout made from glass blocks
* This example shows how additional properties other than location may be stored in the JSON file.
