The matrix and its' API is developed to be programmed in a few different ways, each suited for different applications. This guide will walk you through the basic concepts for programming the LED matrix, and get you started with creating your own animations. While highlighting two different ways of handling the LEDs to create animations and images. Making it easier for you to decide what method fits your needs best!

A frame is what we call the "image" that is displayed at any given moment on the matrix. If an animation is a series of images, a frame is one of those images in the series.

How this frame is created can vary quite a lot, and you can choose whatever way is the easiest for your application, but most of the time you'll be creating an array that holds the frame in 3 32bit integers. A frame like this is difficult for a person to interpret, but it is efficient and therefore the way to go if you're making animations or graphics to display states of a program or interfaces. You can create frames and animations such as this one by using tools such as [FotogramMatrice](#fotogrammatrice). Such a frame may look similar to this:
