Modules | Alphabetical List | Class List | Directories | File List | GIL Home Page # color_element_type, color_element_reference_type, color_element_const_reference_type, get_color, contains_color [Algorithms and Utility Functions] ## Detailed Description Support for accessing the elements of a color base by color name. get_color: Named channel accessors Example: A function that takes a generic pixel containing a red channel and sets it to 100%:
    template <typename Pixel>
    void set_red_to_max(Pixel& pixel) {
        boost::function_requires<MutablePixelConcept<Pixel> >();
        BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT((contains_color<Pixel, red_t>::value));

        typedef typename color_element_type<Pixel, red_t>::type red_channel_t;
        get_color(pixel, red_t()) = channel_traits<red_channel_t>::max_value();
    }
