They each provide a solution to managing and rendering image data onto the strip. They both require a template 'Method' class that defines where and how the memory is managed. Their internal memory storage matches the pixel layout of the NeoPixelBus which provides a fast rendering. -## NeoPixelBuffer object -The NeoPixelBuffer is basic image storage object. It can store the image data in RAM or reference image data stored in PROGMEM. It provides direct x,y access to set and get pixels along with a render method `Blt()` that will copy bits to the NeoPixelStrip or other Raster objects. +## NeoBuffer object +The NeoBuffer is basic image storage object.

It can store the image data in RAM or reference image data stored in PROGMEM. It provides direct sprite,x,y access to set and get pixels along with a render method `Blt()` that will copy a sprite to the NeoPixelStrip or other Raster objects. +## NeoVerticalSpriteSheet object +The NeoVerticalSpriteSheet is used to abstract that the image actually contains a series of sprites of the same size.

When used it will export your images into a .h file. +To create the PROGMEM data structure that contains your image, you can use the [free Paint.Net](http://www.getpaint.net/download.html) program with the [Arduino NeoPixel Sketch Exporter Paint.Net plugin](http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/107921-arduino-neopixel-sketch-exporter/?p=515063). These tools will export your images into a .h file. An example image and files are present with the NeoPixelBufferCylon example.
