value_element_type()

std::type_index MayaFlux::Kakshya::TextureContainer::value_element_type ( ) const

overridevirtual

Runtime query for the native scalar element type of this container.

Mirrors FrameView::element_type(). Typical return values:

• typeid(uint8_t) – 8-bit image / video / window
• typeid(uint16_t) – 16-bit image
• typeid(float) – HDR image
• typeid(double) – audio / plot

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

Implements MayaFlux::Kakshya::NDDataContainer.
