Expand RGB Layouts

This part of the tool exports the fixture group layouts into a spreadsheet to more easily edit the locations of the assets in the group to the design you want.

Export

./bin/expand_fixture_features.py -o examples/showfile-after.qxw ./examples/showfile-before.qxw -E -x ./examples/showfile.xls

This will write out a file you can then open with your favorite spreadsheet editor, I like LibreOffice. In the file you'll find tabs that represent each Fixture Group with cells that match the instances of the fixture at that position

Existing Fixture Groups

You can edit the layout of fixtures here by:

  • moving the cells to the locations you want, just maintain the format of the cell name
  • adding more rows and columns, just make sure you change the X and Y settings at A2

New FixtureGroups

You can create new groups by:

  1. duplicating an existing tab and naming the group in the tab name
  2. changing the name in the header on the new page
  3. updating the X: Y: settings in A2
  4. copy/pasting from this or other Tabs to create the layout you want

Import

./bin/expand_fixture_features.py ./examples/showfile-before.qxw -I -x ./examples/showfile.xls -o ./examples/showfile-after.qxw

This will create the new file with a merge of the existing file and the new Fixture Groups and Layouts.
