# init(planarBuffers:)

Creates a 4-channel, 8-bit-per-channel interleaved buffer from four 32-bit planar buffers.

## Declaration

```swift
init(planarBuffers: [vImage.PixelBuffer<vImage.PlanarF>])
```

## Parameters

- `planarBuffers`: An array that contains four 32-bit planar buffers.

## Discussion

Discussion This function treats floating point pixels represented by the range 0 ... 1 as the UInt8 range 0 ... 255. Use this function to interleave four discrete planar buffers. For example, the following code creates a four-channel interleaved buffer from four planar buffers: let planar0 = vImage.PixelBuffer<vImage.PlanarF>(     pixelValues: [Float(1.0 / 17)],     size: vImage.Size(width: 1, height: 1))

let planar1 = vImage.PixelBuffer<vImage.PlanarF>(     pixelValues: [Float(1.0 / 15)],     size: vImage.Size(width: 1, height: 1))

let planar2 = vImage.PixelBuffer<vImage.PlanarF>(     pixelValues: [Float(1.0 / 5)],     size: vImage.Size(width: 1, height: 1))

let planar3 = vImage.PixelBuffer<vImage.PlanarF>(     pixelValues: [Float(1.0 / 3)],     size: vImage.Size(width: 1, height: 1))

let interleaved = vImage.PixelBuffer<vImage.Interleaved8x4>(     planarBuffers: [planar0, planar1, planar2, planar3])

// Prints "[15, 17, 51, 85]" // = [255 / 17, 255 / 15, 255 / 5, 255 / 3] print(interleaved.array)
