Hi, you wrote that you are already using a parameter pack in the function rgbpixel::channel. Where would that be? Please post the signature(s) of rgbpixel::channel. Is your code somewhere so I could have a look?

Sure

gfx/include/gfx_pixel.hpp at master · codewitch-honey-crisis/gfx · GitHub[^]

Pixel is at line 504

C++

template<typename... ChannelTraits> 
    struct pixel {
...

This parameter pack is effectively passed through to each of the metadata query templates, as well as any function that access pixel data, like the implementation of channel<>()

// sets the integer channel values by name

Similarly, when I was still working, every once in a while I'd leave a comment like:

//Seems like there should be a better way to do this, but I couldn't think of it.
//< explanation of what the code is trying to do >

Yes, absolutely. Some days I am just not inspired. On those days, I just crank out something and hope I can come back later to fix it. I often find that the next time around, I have a much better solution. The problem is, this only works if your employer is understanding enough to let you run your own show. Such employers are rare, of course.

I had a job applicant today...

I asked him if he could explain the gaps in his resume.
He said "yeah, they are spaces and you type them using the space bar."

I hired him on the spot!

Best,
