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 `_-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

A LED matrix can be acquired for a few pounds from outlets

like `Banggood `_.

Likewise 7-segment displays are available from `Ali-Express

`_

or `Ebay `_.
