Custom LED Shapes Like Circles/Rectangles,Triangles etc. how to control

[gd360]

Hi guys,

I actually don't have much hope, but perhaps I#m missing out on sth. So better to ask one time too much...
I am building different forms like circles etc. with LEDs an wondered, if there is a fast way to set up an "LED MATRIX" with a custom shape.
I already know how to kompletely order LEDS manually in the fixture section, but thats quiet a hard job if you have various circles/custom forms with 100+ Pixels.
Is there perhaps a faster solution I didn't think of so far?

Kind regards,
Gerhard

If you can program a bit, the qxw file is text file in XML format. You can generate parts of it in e.g. python/ruby/php/whatever.
Just be careful and backup often

For example, it's possible to write a filter that would read .png file and create fixture group layout for all black pixels.
Or read text file with LED coordinates.

Note that the positions must be on a rectangular grid. You can create shapes by omitting pixels (but I guess you know that already).

Hi Jano,

thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I can't program.
But thanks for the hint, perhaps I can have a look at it, if I have a lot time.
@ Massimo and Other Users: Would that be a feature that ist useful and possible to implement?

Kind regards,
Gerhard
