[[ru:Библиотека приборов]] [[en:Fixture Library]]
'''Fixture Library''' is a list of fixture profiles shared by the whole program. It's where you pick which fixture type any given project element will use: how many channels it has, what each channel means, and how the fixture glows in the '''3D View''' window. The library includes standard pixel fixtures, ready-made profiles of real manufacturer models, and fixtures you've created yourself.

The library isn't tied to a project but to the program: a fixture added to it once is available in every project on this computer. For how fixture kinds differ from one another and what the channels mean, see [[Fixture Kinds and Types]].

== Opening the library ==

The window can be opened in three ways:

* the '''Settings → Fixture Library''' menu — at any time;
* the button showing the current fixture's name on the '''Mapping''' window toolbar. It's available when the '''Add Fixture''' or '''Create Spline''' tool is selected, and shows which type new fixtures will get (in a new project — '''RGB''');
* the '''Fixture Type''' parameter in the '''Properties''' window of a selected fixture or spline — the button is labeled with the name of the fixture currently assigned to it.

The library window doesn't block the program: you can leave it open and keep working on the mapping. It closes with the close button or the '''Esc''' key. A second such window can't be opened — calling it again just brings the already-open one to the front. Which sections were expanded and which were collapsed is remembered by the program until the next time it's opened.

== Library sections ==

On the left of the window is a tree of four sections. Each fixture is shown with its picture next to its name.

{| class="wikitable"
! Section !! What's inside !! Can it be edited
|-
| '''LED Fixtures''' || The program's standard fixtures, arranged into the '''LED Pixels''', '''LED Wallwasher''' and '''LED Spotlight''' groups — the same sets of channels ('''RGB''', '''RGBW''', single-color white) for three kinds of glow || No, selection and copying only
|-
| '''Manufacturers''' || Ready-made profiles of real models, grouped by manufacturer: linear fills, spotlights, pixel strips, moving fixtures || No, selection and copying only
|-
| '''My Fixtures''' || A plain list of fixtures you've created yourself or copied here from other sections || Yes
|-
| '''Used in Project''' || Fixtures assigned to the fixtures of the current project. The section is filled in automatically || No, selection and copying only
|}

Standard fixtures and manufacturer fixtures are protected from changes: when one is selected, the fields on the right are locked. To get your own variant of a factory fixture, copy it to '''My Fixtures'''.

== What's shown about the selected fixture ==

As soon as you select a fixture in the tree, its description opens on the right. At the top is the fixture's name, and below it are two blocks.

'''3D Preview''' — how the fixture looks and glows in the three-dimensional scene:

{| class="wikitable"
! Parameter !! Value
|-
| '''Fixture Beam Type''' || The fixture's kind: pixel, linear, or spotlight
|-
| '''Length''', '''Angle°''', '''Depth''', '''Height''', '''Size''' || The beam's dimensions. The set of fields depends on the selected beam type — a spotlight has angle and height, a linear fixture has length, angle and depth
|}

Next to it is the fixture's image and a '''Change Image''' link, which lets you replace the picture of your own fixture with any image of your choosing.

'''DMX Settings''' — how the fixture looks from the control line's side:

{| class="wikitable"
! Parameter !! Value
|-
| '''Channel Count''' || How many DMX channels one fixture takes up
|-
| Channel table || The channel's sequence number and purpose. The row order is the channel order: the first row corresponds to the fixture's address, the second to the next address, and so on
|-
| '''Moving Fixture''' || Checked for fixtures with pan/tilt mechanics
|-
| '''Pan, min / max''', '''Tilt, min / max''' || Rotation limits in degrees. They're used by the '''PAN TILT Animation''' effect
|}

This description is convenient to check against a real fixture's datasheet: if the channel count and their order match the DMX mode set on the fixture itself, the fixture will behave correctly.

== Assigning a fixture from the library ==

For fixtures you're about to draw:

# On the '''Mapping''' window toolbar, choose '''Add Fixture''' or '''Create Spline'''.
# Click the adjacent button showing the current fixture's name — the library opens.
# Find the fixture you need in the tree and select it.
# Click '''Select Fixture''' in the bottom-right corner of the window.
# The toolbar button will show the new name. From now on, every fixture and spline you draw will be of this type.

For fixtures already placed in the project:

# Select the fixtures or splines you need — on the '''Mapping''' field or in the '''Fixtures''' window.
# Open the library: the '''Settings → Fixture Library''' menu, or the '''Fixture Type''' button in the '''Properties''' window.
# Select the new fixture in the tree and click '''Select Fixture'''.

The new type applies immediately to all selected fixtures. If the new type has more or fewer channels, the addresses on the port need to be recalculated: with '''Auto-Patching''' enabled this happens automatically, otherwise addresses are adjusted manually — see [[Патчинг приборов]].

The '''Select Fixture''' button only works when there's something to apply the selection to: the fixture-adding tool is active, or fixtures with a different current type are selected on the mapping.

== Copying a fixture to "My Fixtures" ==

Factory fixtures can't be changed, but you can make a copy and edit that instead. Select the fixture and call '''Copy to Personal''' — with the button at the bottom of the window, the item in the '''Edit''' menu, or the right-click menu on the fixture. The copy appears in the '''My Fixtures''' section with ''Copy'' added to its name and is selected right away — all that's left is to rename it and adjust its channels.

Fixtures from the '''Used in Project''' section are copied the same way. This is handy when a project has come from another computer: if it uses a fixture that's missing from your library, the copy will save that profile for you, and it can then be assigned in other projects.

== Creating and deleting fixtures ==

The '''Create''' menu adds a new template to '''My Fixtures''':

* '''Fixture''' — a profile with three channels: red, green, blue;
* '''Moving Head''' — a profile with pan/tilt channels ('''pan''', '''pan fine''', '''tilt''', '''tilt fine''') and the '''Moving Fixture''' checkbox already enabled, with '''Pan''' limits of 0–540° and '''Tilt''' limits of 0–180°.

The new fixture is selected right away and can be configured on the right. For details, see [[Создание пользовательских приборов]].

Fixtures can only be deleted from the '''My Fixtures''' section: select a fixture and press '''Delete''' or '''Backspace''', or choose '''Delete''' from the right-click menu or the '''Edit''' menu. The program will ask you to confirm the deletion.

Deleting a fixture from the library doesn't break projects where it's already assigned: the fixture's profile is also stored inside the project itself, so the fixtures keep working and their profile remains visible in the '''Used in Project''' section.

== Saving the library ==

Everything you do in the window — creating, copying, deleting, editing channels — exists only in the open window at first. To make the changes permanent, run '''File → Save Library'''.

The program reminds you to save in two cases:

* when closing the window with unsaved changes, a prompt appears: '''Save library?''' — '''Yes''' saves the edits, '''No''' reverts the library to the state it was in when the window was opened, '''Cancel''' leaves the window open;
* when clicking '''Select Fixture''' with unsaved changes, a prompt appears: '''The library must be saved before selecting a fixture, save it?''' — '''Yes''' saves the library and applies the selected fixture, '''Cancel''' returns to the window without changes.

Saving the library is unrelated to saving the project: these are separate actions, and one doesn't replace the other. When you save, changes to a fixture's profile are applied to every fixture in the project it's assigned to: for example, if you adjust the channel count, the fixtures in the project will take up the new number of addresses.

== Library and project ==

The profiles of fixtures in use are stored not only in the program's library but also in the project file itself. As soon as a fixture is assigned, its profile is added to the '''Used in Project''' section and saved together with the project. This is why a project opened on another computer works correctly even if that computer's library doesn't have this fixture.

The '''Used in Project''' section is kept up to date automatically: when a fixture stops being used — for example, you've changed the type of every fixture that had it — its profile is removed from the project.

== Frequently asked questions ==

* '''The "Select Fixture" button won't click.''' Neither the fixture-adding tool is selected nor any fixture on the mapping is selected, or all the selected fixtures already have this exact type.
* '''The fields on the right are grayed out, nothing can be changed.''' You've selected a fixture from the '''LED Fixtures''', '''Manufacturers''' or '''Used in Project''' sections — they're protected from changes. Copy the fixture to '''My Fixtures''' and edit the copy.
* '''After restarting the program, my fixtures are gone.''' The changes weren't saved. Only '''File → Save Library''' (or answering '''Yes''' to the prompt when closing the window) makes library edits permanent.
* '''The model I need isn't in the library.''' Take a similar fixture as a base, copy it to '''My Fixtures''' and match the channels to the datasheet — see [[Создание пользовательских приборов]]. For a plain pixel strip or bar, a separate profile isn't needed: a standard fixture from the '''LED Fixtures''' section will do.
* '''The model in the "Manufacturers" section has several rows with similar names.''' These are different DMX modes of the same model. Choose the one that's set on the fixture itself, otherwise the channels will be mismatched.
* '''The fixture takes up a different number of addresses than expected.''' Check the '''Channel Count''' of the selected fixture: that's exactly how many DMX addresses one fixture will occupy.
