How does EditableImage:WritePixels() work?

Might also just be a bug with the feature since its not released yet.

why not use color3.new instead of 1,0,1 right?

@nooneisback

Because color3 is expensive to create in comparison.

yeah he’s right, but you can use this function i made that converts a color (Color3 or BrickColor) and alpha to Tuple

local function ColorToRGBA(color: Color3|BrickColor, alpha: number?)
	local Color3 = if typeof(color) == "Color3" then color else color.Color
	alpha = if alpha ~= nil then alpha else 1
	
	return Color3.R, Color3.G, Color3.B, alpha
end

this helps you count the number of items in the array since the function returns 4 numbers already. this also helps you type the RGBA values faster like this

local pixels = {
	ColorToRGBA(Color3.new(0, 0, 0), 1),
	ColorToRGBA(Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255), 0.5),
	ColorToRGBA(BrickColor.new("New Yeller")),
	ColorToRGBA(Color3.fromRGB(125, 200, 10), 0)
} -- the same as {0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0.5, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0.4901960784313725, 0.7843137254901960, 0.0392156862745098, 0}

EditableImage:WritePixels(Vector2.zero, Vector2.new(2, 2), pixels)

@bluebxrrybot

since there is no documentation on it.

yes there is

I swear to god that I checked, and it only said the function name and nothing else. But… I guess there is now.

This proves that @theseformasentence was right.

{Red, Green, Blue, Transparency}.

It’s actually red, green, blue, opacity. I’ve been trying to use this function, but it’s pretty slow. I wish that it was easier to modify each pixel, since there’s likely hundreds of thousands of them and it takes up to 200 ms to iterate them all.
