element_type()

std::type_index MayaFlux::Kakshya::FrameView::element_type ( ) const

inline

Runtime query for the native element type of this frame.

Returns std::type_index of the active span's value_type. Typical values:

• typeid(uint8_t) — 8-bit image/video (RGBA, etc.)
• typeid(uint16_t) — 16-bit image (UNORM or half-float encoded)
• typeid(float) — HDR image (R32F/RGBA32F)
• typeid(double) — audio

Use this to branch once before calling as<T>() when the container type is not statically known at the call site.
