Question1:
If I make a simple cue that a spot spins gobos,how I make the spinning go to a halt smoothly anytime .or spinning colors.
Question2:
Where we can find more shape files for downloading?I think the number of shapes in the sg.dat is too small to cater for the booming need for so many live shows.
Question3:
Are there any books or E_books on movingheads for sale in your country or downloading on the internet? Up to now ,I cannot find any one of this kind of books in china ,even in Beijing,it’strange at all.
Thank you for sparing so much of your precious time
how to make a mover stop spinning gobos smoothly?

1) Program a cue/palette at a value that corresponds to stop on relevant attribute. This, like anything else, requires your fixture to have this ability. Usually this will be at the point where the continuous rotation changes direction.
2) Can you please explain what you think is needed? You can program your own if you want by editing the file but the pre-programmed cover the majority of possibilities.
3) I don't think it so strange. What exactly would this book tell you? There are many books about lighting. Moving heads are just a lighting tool. Therefore the only relevant documentation would be their instruction manual explaining individual capabilities.
Again, perhaps you can please explain what you want to learn?

It is important to understand what your fixture is capable of. That is where the abilities lie, not in the control desk.
As I said, if the fixture has variable rotation in either direction with a stop at mid point then you can program two cues or palettes. One will set a rotation speed, the other will contain the stop value. Recalling the first will start rotation, the second will stop. This is potentially true for both continous rotation of a gobo wheel and individual rotation, depending on fixture capabilities.
From reading your questions I get the impression you need some training/assistance in the basics of lighting programming and control. Perhaps you can contact your local Avo distributor and arrange training or find some experienced operators who will be kind enough to help. It is much easier to understand when you have some lights and a desk in front of you, rather than by trying to describe here.
