Dot

The dot pattern will move a point along the chain of LEDs. The dot pattern has 6 properties, a gradient toggle and a bounce toggle.
Color: The color property sets the color of the dot when it is at its brightest.
Contrast: The contrast property sets the contrast of the dot when it is at its brightest.
Position: The position determines where in the strip the dot is. By default, it is moving across at a steady speed, but the position can also be set to a module output such as a distance module.
Speed: The speed property determines how long it takes the dot to move across the strip. Longer times (higher numbers) will result in a slower dot and shorter cycle times (lower numbers) will result in a faster dot.
Direction: The direction toggle changes the direction that the point moves. Default is from pixel 1 in the chain to the last pixel in the chain (from start to end). By switching the direction toggle to "end," you move the pixel in other direction.
Gradient: Gradient adds pixels of the same color as the dot, but with lower brightness around the dot, creating a smoother look as it moves across the strip.
Spread: The spread determines the size of the dot. A larger spread will have a larger dot move across. Each px you add will be an additional LED pixel added to the dot.
Bounce: The bounce toggle will set the dot moving back and forth across the strip instead of running from one end to the other and then jumping back to the start again.
