- [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:
Selects group 5 but not channel 2.
Subtracts 10% from the current dimmer value of the selected fixtures.
Removes channel 5, 6 and 7 from the current selection.
Same as Page - 1, which calls previous page.
To execute this function you can also use the key - on the console.
