I just finished a 2D matrix and had much headache with the setup due to irregular unused pixels. I eventually ended up with a map file that worked but this required much trial and error before I got it to work. Some of my tweaks worked but I have no idea why. So, I have questions:
What’s the difference between a map file and a gap file?
For a map file, I found some examples that specify the 2D layout while others are one long string. How would I know which will work for a particular situation?
A gap file uses -1, 0, and 1 in a 2D grid. What’s the difference between -1 and 0?
In a map file, you can use -1 for a dark? pixel. Or just skip dark pixels?? What’s the difference???
Finally, there is the 2D config page. this appears to be necessary but how does this interact with map/gap files?
