// MATRIX DECLARATION:
// Parameter 1 = width of FastLED matrix
// Parameter 2 = height of matrix
// Parameter 3 = matrix layout flags, add together as needed:
//   MTX_MATRIX_TOP, MTX_MATRIX_BOTTOM, MTX_MATRIX_LEFT, MTX_MATRIX_RIGHT:
//     Position of the FIRST LED in the matrix; pick two, e.g.
//     MTX_MATRIX_TOP + MTX_MATRIX_LEFT for the top-left corner.
//   MTX_MATRIX_ROWS, MTX_MATRIX_COLUMNS: LEDs are arranged in horizontal
//     rows or in vertical columns, respectively; pick one or the other.
//   MTX_MATRIX_PROGRESSIVE, MTX_MATRIX_ZIGZAG: all rows/columns proceed
//     in the same order, or alternate lines reverse direction; pick one.
//   See example below for these values in action.


// Example for NeoPixel Shield.  In this application we'd like to use it
// as a 5x8 tall matrix, with the USB port positioned at the top of the
// Arduino.  When held that way, the first pixel is at the top right, and
// lines are arranged in columns, progressive order.
