# DmxFixtureType

Allows users to define their own custom per-pixel DMX channel layouts in DMX Screens

See also: [Stage Guide](/plugins/guides/stage)

Base class (inherits properties and methods): _[Resource](/python-api/docs/resource#resource)_

## Properties

#### **attributes** : _List\[int\]_

Ordered list of channel attributes which define the DMX layout

_UserName: Channels_

#### **biLevelMono** : _bool_

Output binary levels only (0 or 255/65535) for mono max channels.

_UserName: Bi-Level Mono_

#### **dmxChannelsPerPixel** : _int_ _(Read-Only)_

Total number of DMX channels per pixel (sum of all attribute footprints)

the total DMX channel count per pixel

#### **invertMono** : _bool_

Invert the mono max output (255/65535 - value).

_UserName: Invert Mono_

#### **subtractWhite** : _bool_

Subtract white value from colour channels if a white channel is present.

_UserName: Subtract White_

## Methods

#### **hasAny16BitChannels**(self) -> _bool_

Whether any 16-bit attributes are present

If we’re all 8 bit then we can work with 8 bit colour for better performance.

**Returns** true if any attribute is a 16-bit type

#### **numAttributes**(self) -> _int_

Return the number of attributes this fixture type contains

## Static Methods

#### **dmxFootprint**(attr: _[DmxChannelAttribute](/python-api/docs/dmxchannelattribute#dmxchannelattribute)_) -> _int_

Returns the number of DMX channels this attribute occupies(1 for 8-bit / padding, 2 for 16-bit).
