Description |  | The write(x, y, value) method is used to set individual pixels on or off. Pixel locations are specified in x, y coordinates and the state of a pixel can be HIGH or LOW. The write(x, y, sprite) method is used to write the pixel data tored on sprite, this is very useful when creating animations.
Syntax |  |
    matrix.write(x, y, value)
    matrix.write(x, y, sprite)
Parameters |  |
x |  | The x position
y |  | The y position
value |  | The value for the selected pixel, it can be either HIGH or LOW
sprite |  | An Sprite object storing pixel data on it
matrix |  | The Matrix object
Returns |  | None
Usage |  | Application
