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(); 
}

Classes
struct	contains_color
	A predicate metafunction determining whether a given color base contains a given color. More...
struct	color_element_type
	Specifies the type of the element associated with a given color tag. More...
struct	color_element_reference_type
	Specifies the return type of the mutable element accessor by color name, get_color(color_base, Color());. More...
struct	color_element_const_reference_type
	Specifies the return type of the constant element accessor by color name, get_color(color_base, Color());. More...
Functions
template<typename ColorBase, typename Color>
color_element_reference_type < ColorBase, Color >::type	get_color (ColorBase &cb, Color=Color())
	Mutable accessor to the element associated with a given color name.
template<typename ColorBase, typename Color>
color_element_const_reference_type < ColorBase, Color >::type	get_color (const ColorBase &cb, Color=Color())
	Constant accessor to the element associated with a given color name.
