Trait ComponentsAs

pub trait ComponentsAs<C: ?Sized> {
    // Required method
    fn components_as(&self) -> &C;
}

Trait for casting a reference to collection of color components into a reference to collection of colors without copying.

This trait is meant as a more convenient alternative to the free functions in cast, to allow method chaining among other things.

Panics

The cast will panic if the cast fails, such as when the length of the input is not a multiple of the color’s array length.

Examples

use palette::{cast::ComponentsAs, Srgb};

let array: [_; 6] = [64, 139, 10, 93, 18, 214];
let slice: &[_] = &[64, 139, 10, 93, 18, 214];
let vec: Vec<_> = vec![64, 139, 10, 93, 18, 214];

let colors: &[Srgb<u8>] = array.components_as();
assert_eq!(colors, &[Srgb::new(64u8, 139, 10), Srgb::new(93, 18, 214)]);

let colors: &[Srgb<u8>] = slice.components_as();
assert_eq!(colors, &[Srgb::new(64u8, 139, 10), Srgb::new(93, 18, 214)]);

let colors: &[Srgb<u8>] = vec.components_as();
assert_eq!(colors, &[Srgb::new(64u8, 139, 10), Srgb::new(93, 18, 214)]);

This panics:

use palette::{cast::ComponentsAs, Srgb};

let components = [64, 139, 10, 93, 18, 214, 0, 123]; // Not a multiple of 3
let colors: &[Srgb<u8>] = components.components_as();

Required Methods

fn components_as(&self) -> &C

Cast this collection of color components into a reference to a collection of colors.

Panics

If the conversion can’t be done, such as when the number of items in self isn’t a multiple of the number of components in the color type.
