+    size = The number of LEDs in your terminal (can be (x, y) for a matrix)

+    shape = The 'shape' of the terminal.

+            * `reverse` - A led string which starts at the opposite end
+            * `matrix` - a normal matrix where the led order goes left to right. i.e:
+              1 2 3 4
+              5 6 7 8
+              9 . . .
+            * `zmatrix` - A matrix where the pixels in the first row go left to right, the next one
+              right to left. i.e:
+              1 2 3 4
