Transfer Terminal #49

Closed JosephCottam closed 10 years ago

JosephCottam commented 11 years ago

Images are a terminal type, but so are contours and maybe other fancy arrangements.

It would be nice if renderer.transfer wasn't tied down to aggregates->aggregates transitions. This changes the AR equations

JosephCottam commented 10 years ago

Not going to look into this for a long time. It really changes AR in ways that move it out of its current sweet spot. Terminal values are currently handled by special aggregate types (images are color aggregates, contours are stored as a list in the ContourAggregates) and may be extracted by functions that need them. A more general solution requires great violence to the framework, and I'm not sure its particularly valuable.
