boost::gil::any_image

Represents a run‐time specified image. Note it does NOT model ImageConcept

Synopsis

Declared in <boost/gil/extension/dynamic_image/any_image.hpp>

template<typename... Images>
class any_image
    : public variant2::variant<Images...>

Description

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Represents an image whose type (color space, layout, planar/interleaved organization, etc) can be specified at run time. It is the runtime equivalent of image. Some of the requirements of ImageConcept, such as the value_type alias cannot be fulfilled, since the language does not allow runtime type specification. Other requirements, such as access to the pixels, would be inefficient to provide. Thus any_image does not fully model ImageConcept. In particular, its view and const_view methods return any_image_view, which does not fully model ImageViewConcept. See any_image_view for more./////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
