in thread How to create and save an image from RGB values

This looks a lot like an application of "Einstein-inspired notation operations" (aka einops) would have helped here. I've been toying with the idea of making a translator from einops notation to PDL slice syntax, but haven't done so yet. I am 100% sure that a pull-request with a PDL::Slices::einops function (with suitable tests, even if incomplete) would be gratefully received :-D

EDIT The future-design of PDL is being explored on this GitHub issue, including a mention of einops, and anyone with ideas would be extremely welcome to contribute!

[OT][Re:PDL] So... No more piddles now? (was: Re^5: How to create and save an image from RGB values)

    When consulting metacpan PDL docs yesterday, found myself continuously stumbling upon word i-am-sure-was-not-there-before. Aha, here. It's not, I believe, anywhere in "changes" or "resolved issues", is it? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Perhaps discussed privately among devs, which of course is up to them to decide, it's not critique from me, just curious to observe how things are changing in general these days. As if "piddle" was an OK for 25 years, and finally last spring fallen off "euphemism treadmill" or something.

    Update: it was announced on mailing list.

      Now .... if we can just get Linux users to universally refrain from using that vulgar term "root" ;-)

      A change so significant needs to be in the docs
