- [Minus] keyword¶

• [Minus] is a helping keyword with various functions.

To execute the keyword - [Minus] type - into the command line.

Syntax:¶

• [Minus] is used to remove objects from a list or to indicate a negative value. When used as a relative indicator, with no value given, the value of 1 will be used.

When used to indicate a value it can indicate an absolute or relative value. Adding a space between - [Minus] and the value makes it relative. No space makes it an absolute value.

E.g., giving a Pan attribute a value of - 10 subtracts 10 degrees from the current location. Giving the Pan attribute a value of -10 sets the pan at -10 degrees. See the difference between adding and not adding a space.

Using the numeric keys automatically adds the space.

If used as a starting keyword, - [Minus] creates a selection list, which is removed from the current selection.

Example:¶

[Channel]> Group 5 - Channel 2

Selects group 5 but not channel 2.

[Channel]> At - 10

Subtracts 10% from the current dimmer value of the selected fixtures.

[Channel]> - 5 Thru 7

Removes channel 5, 6 and 7 from the current selection.

[Channel]> Page -

Same as Page - 1, which calls previous page.

For more information see the key -.
