Creating a seating plan

You define how the numbering is done by defining from where you start counting
This is the first important step (example if you want to start with seat A1 at the right bottom than you give: Count upper left from the fitst position
Example: UL = Upper Left

Example headzone:
[ul6.28]1.1-17.3,[ul2.17]6.4-10.4,[ul2.27]1.4-5.4,[ul1.28]1.5-6.5,[ul1.17]7.5-12.5,

Stands for:

Headzone
[ul6.28]1.1-17.3,
“”Go up en left from Row 6 collum 28 start numbering seat 1.1 till 17.3″ Gives 3 rows with 17 seats counting from right to left and upwards” 1.1 = First seat in first row, 17.3 is Seat 17 in row 3 counting from your position in the given direction.

“”If you counted right than there is no row 3 in this example, 6,5 and 4 are determined above and the following starts with 2”

[ul2.17]6.4-10.4,

“”Go up en left from Row 2 collum 17 start numbering seat 6.4 till 10.4″ Gives 1 row with 5 seats counting from right to left and upwards”

[ul2.27]1.4-5.4,
“Go up en left from Row 2 collum 27 start numbering seat 1.4 till 5.4″ Gives 1 row with 5 seats counting from right to left and upwards
Note that this is the same row so there is a gap of 5 seats between seat 5 and 6.
By defining 1.4-5.4 & 6.4-10.4 the counting will go on from seat to seat”

[ul1.28]1.5-6.5,

“Go up en left from Row 1 collum 28 start numbering seat 1.5 till 6.5” Gives 1 row with 6 seats counting from right to left and upwards = 1 seat extra on the right side.
Note that this is the same row so there is a gap of 5 seats between seat 5 and 6

[ul1.17]7.5-12.5,

“Go up en left from Row 1 collum 17 start numbering seat 1.5 till 6.5” Gives 1 row with 6 seats counting from right to left and upwards = 1 seat extra on the left side.

At legend:

[ur6.32]N1-3,[ur2.32]N4-5
“Start the legent upper right at Row 6 collum 32 with numbering rows N-3 than the gap where there are now seats and From row2 upwards the rows 4 and 5

And as image:
[i1]7.13-11.27 (Position of stage (Image :[i1] row and collum position.

With the stageshowgold-decodeseats-alphaseats.tab you can define the alphanumeric apearence on the floorpan (if You want Rows to be numbers or letters)

The stageshowgold-decodeseats-alphaseats.tab is located in the WP content ->Uploads -> stageShow->HTML folder.
In the example above the row needs to be a Letter and the seat a number.
The tab separated file should be:

Index	Row	Seat
1	1	A
2	2	B
3	3	C
4	4	D
5	5	E
6	6	F
7	7	G
8	8	H
9	9	I

….. Till max rows

So seat First column is an index column and is only needed for the database.
The second collum describes what to change (in this case the row number) In Column 3 what to assign.
So
row 1 has an A assigned (and standard seat number)
Row 2 has A B assigned (and standard seat number)….

The result would be whit seat 1 at the bottom right and all numbers counting without a gap:

xxxxxx_____xxxxxx E
_xxxxx_____xxxxx_ D

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx C
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx B
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx A

_______Stage______

You see? Now you understand exactly why I need to pay someone to do this for me! ??????

So I’m working through the Main Theatre example and trying to recreate it.

I’m figuring out the the first zone relocation is absolute reference and then the seat reference is relative to the numbers set up in the legends zone.

BBUUUTTT!!!
All of of sudden the row/column references switch when there is a dl or dr in the relocation reference

AAAANNNNDDDD!!!!

All of a sudden the image is referenceing row 5 as row 1. Why? I don’t know.
