summary for using glediator with xlights:
1) It works on megatrees, vert , horiz matrices. Folded modeles work fine.
2) First define your matrix in glediator
"Options,Matrix Size"
if i have a vert matrix 30x40 with strands =1
then define it as 30 x 40
if i have a vert matrix 30x40 with strands =2
then define it as 60 x 20
If I have a horiz matrix 10 x 150 with strands = 3
then define it as 30 x 50
if I have a megatree 20 x 120 strands =1
then define it as 20 x 120
