But you introducted a fifth value of type "bool". Norbert was aiming at having multiple standards - so this would need to be an int (if we're dealing with constants) or even a string. I also am not in favor of demanding it's the "fifth" value. What if I have cmyk and an alpha-value or something? How about demanding that at least this field uses an index "type"? Then we would have 0..2, 0..3 or 0..4 as int/float-values and an index "type" e.g. having "rgb" in it. Hmm - should we demand a separation of rgb and rgba in this case - or simply check if an alpha is present, then it's rgba? Stefan
