I am planning to use this library for displaying on the RGB Matrix Panel.

Before digging deeper, are there any suggestions
1. Is it advised to explore more in depth?
2. At the initial look of it, I should have a separate implementation
of app,Window which abstracts / provides implementation of the RGB
Matrix Canvas.
3. Not sure if other features like layout, animations will work just as it is?
4. Fonts is another area which I am not familiar with.

If that panel acts like a framebuffer, and if you're driving it from a
supported OS, you likely only need
to find a way to connect the window output to the display. Fonts and
such should be handled by the OS.
Same with layout and animation.

If you are running on a lower-level device that isn't a supported OS,
fonts will be a major issue.
