Python 3 library interfacing LED matrix displays with the MAX7219 driver (using SPI), WS2812 (NeoPixels, inc Pimoroni Unicorn pHat/Hat and Unicorn Hat HD) and APA102 (DotStar) on the Raspberry Pi and other Linux-based single board computers

• it provides a Pillow <https://pillow.readthedocs.io/>_-compatible drawing canvas, and other functionality to support:

• multiple cascaded devices
• LED matrix, seven-segment and NeoPixel variants
• scrolling/panning capability,
• terminal-style printing,
• state management,
• dithering to monochrome,
• pygame emulator,
• Python 3.7 and newer are supported
