Claim:
1. A method for controlled lighting of a stage using controlled selection of stage lighting elements from an ordered set of N stage lighting elements, implemented using a computer system comprising a computer processor and a non-transitory computer readable memory, the method comprising: applying to the ordered set, via the computer processor, a function P to change the order in which said stage lighting elements are ordered in the ordered set, into a desired order defined by said function P, for further selection said stage lighting elements from the set according to the desired order; wherein the ordered set is formed by said N stage lighting elements selected from at least one of the following: fixtures, internal units of the fixtures, fixture parameters, values of said parameters, and values of coefficients, and wherein the method further comprises: ensuring, via the computer processor, that said ordered set is presentable as a vector X comprising N stage lighting elements x selecting, via the computer processor, said function P being at least a 2D function defined between at least two orthogonal axes, wherein a first of said at least two axes is used for defining the N stage lighting elements ordered in the set, and a second of said at least two axes is used for determining selection indexes reflecting the order of selecting said stage lighting elements from the set; running, via the computer processor, the function P on the vector X, so that: controlling, via the computer processor, by said function P, the order of selecting stage lighting elements x selecting, via the computer processor, the stage lighting elements from said set according to the desired order defined by said function P; and operating, via the computer processor, the selected stage lighting elements from said set according to the desired order, to create convertible and adjustable lighting effects for various kinds of stages.
