Multi-element beam type of fixture definition, control, visualizing

[petrvanekrobe]

We need a way to define Multi-element beam type of fixture definition.

Issue: multi-element fixtures often contain internal pattern maps, multiple dimmers, way of controlling and visualizing.

This concerns multi-pixel beam/wash devices (B-eye, Spiider...) but also profiles (https://github.com/mvrdevelopment/spec/issues/56).

Here is a (non exhausting) list of currently used attributes for the multi pixel control:

Main name suggestions:

PixelControl MultiPixelControl MPC, MP, PC (Multi/Pixel/Control) ML, MLC (multi led control MS (Multi source)

(none of them very good )

Patterns/Shapes:

• Selection (choose a pattern (ring, triangle...)

• Repeat (subvariant of the selection (if for example triangle is selected, how many should be used)

• Size (triangle can grow/shrink in size)

• Rotation (rotation of the selected shape on the complete surface)

• Indexing (indexing as per above)

• Fade

• Transition (interpolation/antialiasing for movement (index,rotate...)

• Shutter

• Dimmer

• Color (RGBW...)

• Crossfade (combination of multiple layers, %) (defined on the current layer)

• ColorMixControl (how are layers combined (min/max/add/sub...)) (define outside of the current layer)

Possible other modifiers:

• Movement X

• Movement Y

• ...
