For most use cases a one-dimensional lights may be the standard and completely sufficient. Nevertheless if you want to build a LED matrix with your ws2812b lights (in our case for a visual arts project), one Dimensionality is not enough.
Because the SMD LEDs are addressable separately, this seems less like a technical challenge and more like a UI related issue.
As a workaround one could define different segments (as vertical rows or horizontal lines) in order to create a "fake matrix" by copying one segment (row/line) and synchronize all in line/row , but this surely seems pretty restricted in options and not a proper solution.
Maybe there is also another possibility that didnt cross my mind yet, so other ideas how to approach this are welcome, too.
Thanks
