adb_fancurves.xml

This selection of macros lets you change the fan curve, parts and grouping options without having to enter the fan menu. These macros have Active Binding set so they will highlight when the corresponding attribute is set.

This explains the functional steps within the sequence. For all the other XML details please refer to Formats and syntax

• Programmer.Editor.Fixtures.Fan.SelectCurve(“Line”) sets the SelectedFanCurveId to “Line”
• Programmer.Editor.Fixtures.Fan.GroupOptions is the property regarding the grouping options and needs to be set via ActionScript.SetProperty.Enum
• Programmer.Editor.Fixtures.Fan.SegmentCount the number of parts the fan is split into and again needs to be set via ActionScript.SetProperty
• active binding is used to highlight a macro when the corresponding property (propertyLink id) matches the converterParameter. A good starting point to understand active binding is either this wiki or this post in the Avo forum http://forum.avolites.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=5962
