Suggestion: WheelSlot user interface in Fixture Editor #4846
Description
For fixtures with color wheels, I see a good number of them submitted with wheels like [White, Red, Green, Blue, ..., White+Red, Red+Green, Green+Blue, ...].
In OFL, what you should do is define the wheel with colors [White, Red, Green, Blue, ...], and then have the wheel slot capabilities use indices like 1, 2, 3, 4, ..., 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, ... The Fixture Editor doesn't really have a separate color wheel editor, though: you just define the wheel slots in-place, when you need them.
I looked at the Fixture Editor to see if this was confusing, and I think it could be clearer. The wheel slot is an input with type="number" step="1", so it's not terribly obvious that you should (or even can) use fractional slot numbers here.
To nudge contributors in the right direction for WheelSlot capabilities, I suggest:
- change the number input have step="0.5", so contributors can see that fractional slot numbers are allowed, if they happen to click the little arrows
- add a note next to this input, like "Use 1.5 to indicate a wheel position halfway between slots 1 and 2"
