Functions

func ProcessRGBColor

func ProcessRGBColor(stepNumber int, start bool, end bool, bounce bool, invert bool, fadeColors map[int][]common.FixtureBuffer, thisFixture *common.Fixture, lastFixture *common.Fixture, nextFixture *common.Fixture, sequence common.Sequence, shift int) map[int][]common.FixtureBuffer

processRGBColor takes this color and next color and adds a fade color to the fadeColors map. This function uses simple rules to decide which fade value to add. This is complicated because we want to support complex patterns which have colors stay on from one step to another, the simple fade up the color then fade down the color doesn't work for these use cases.

There are a number of different inputs which controll the way we process the fading of the color.

1. We notice when we are at the start and the end of sequences, which prevents us starting with the fading down of the last fixture and also helps us manage the change in direction of bounces.
2. We notice when we are bouncing to control the pattern reversal.
3. We notice when we select inverted sequence so we can cater for the pattern being upside down.
4. We pass pointers to the thisFixture, lastFixture and nextFixture so we know what we did last and also we use these pointers to modify the state of the fixture, used for tracking when we last faded down. Only used in the multicolor patterns.
5. We care about the next color being Black as we don't need to fade to black if we are already black.

Note We pass debug messages into the fixture buffer, for each operation, so that when in debug mode you can see how the fadeColors were created.

func ProcessScannerColor

func ProcessScannerColor(stepNumber int, start bool, end bool, bounce bool, invert bool, fadeColors map[int][]common.FixtureBuffer, thisFixture *common.Fixture, lastFixture *common.Fixture, nextFixture *common.Fixture, sequence common.Sequence, shift int) map[int][]common.FixtureBuffer

processScannerColor takes this color and next color and adds a fade color to the fadeColors map. This function uses simple rules to decide which fade value to add.

func ProcessSimpleColor

func ProcessSimpleColor(stepNumber int, start bool, end bool, bounce bool, invert bool, fadeColors map[int][]common.FixtureBuffer, thisFixture *common.Fixture, lastFixture *common.Fixture, nextFixture *common.Fixture, sequence common.Sequence, shift int) map[int][]common.FixtureBuffer
