Extension to RGB Matrix

[George Qualley]

Just a suggestion which I can't imagine would be that difficult to implement. The RGB Matrix feature is great and it would be nice if the matrix function could also be applied to intensity channels. For example, let's say I have a set of fixtures and I'd like to fade the intensity of those futures. The matrix feature would be great for this, but currently it doesn't work unless the fixture is RGB.

Yup. Sometimes I trick it into working by making the intensity channel Red.

The idea was that if a fixture doesn't have RGB/CMY channels, its dimmer channel is used (so that RGB matrix can be used with e.g. PAR cans). It used to work some time ago. If it doesn't work now, it's a bug.

There are some changes in this area waiting to be released (in git master), so it may have been fixed in the meantime.

I'll check it when I find some time.

BTW: sometime ago, I wanted more: to have one matrix over RGB channels AND at the same time another over intensity of the same fixtures... I even implemented, but there were some problems, so I dropped that idea...

@Joe: I thought about doing that but I decided it wasn't worth the trouble at this point.

@Jano: Massimo sent me a very recent build from the git master so I'll have to give it a try later today and see if it might actually work already. What you've described is exactly what I want.

I tested this issue, and there's indeed a bug. The dimmer channels are always full on.
Suspect commits are fda8e6e8 and 6c680e3. It's too late now to fix anything, maybe next week...
