Groups in the MAtricks are used to separate the selection into the number of groups set.
It alternates through the selection putting fixtures into each group.
It is best explained with an example.
Example - Ten Fixtures One Axis
In this example, there are ten fixtures (1 through 10).
They are selected from 1 to 10 without any specific grid information. Highlight is activated.
Since there is no grid information, the fixtures are only on the X-axis.
Tap + in the X settings MAtricks window or press Next to make the MAtricks X value 1.
Ten fixtures with MAtricks X at 1 - No XGroup
It looks like this in the Selection Grid and Fixture Sheet (Channel SheetMode and Output layer selected) window.
Ten fixtures with MAtricks X at 1 - No XGroup
Now tap + in the XGroup in the MAtricks window and set the value to two.
Ten fixtures with MAtricks X at 1 - XGroup at 2
Now it looks like this in the Selection Grid and Fixture Sheet.
Ten fixtures with MAtricks X at 1 - XGroup at 2
Notice how the ten fixtures are moved into two boxes in the selection grid.
The Selection shows how the fixtures are interleaved into the two groups. The first fixture goes into the first group, the second fixture into the next group, the third fixture in the first group, and so on until there are no more fixtures.
Tap + in the MAtricks X to set it to two. Tap - to set it back to one. You can also press Next and Prev to toggle between the selections.
