image - Unable to consume Rgba<u8> (no methods) in Rust

Question

let png = image::open("src/heightmaps/ALPSMLC30_N050E014_DSM_8_BIT.png").unwrap();
    for p in png.pixels() {
        let p: image::Rgba<u8> = p.2;
    }

p is (u32, u32, image::Rgba<u8>). What I don't know is how to access the u8 out of Rgba (the VSCode doesn't find any methods for it). How do I proceed? Here is the link to the Rgba struct: https://docs.rs/image/0.23.13/image/struct.Rgba.html.

Answer 1

image::Rgba is a tuple struct, you can access fields of a tuple struct using struct.0 syntax or more ergonomically through destructuring:

let png = image::open("src/heightmaps/ALPSMLC30_N050E014_DSM_8_BIT.png").unwrap();
for (_, _, image::Rgba(p)) in png.pixels() {
    let [r, g, b, a] = p;
}
