# overwriteChannels(_:withPixel:destination:)

Overwrites the pixels of one or more channels of the pixel buffer with the provided unsigned 16-bit, 4-channel pixel value.

## Declaration

```swift
func overwriteChannels(_ channels: [UInt8], withPixel pixel: Pixel_ARGB_16U, destination: vImage.PixelBuffer<Format>)
```

## Parameters

- `channels`: An array that contains the indices of the channels that the function overwrites.
- `pixel`: The value that the function writes the channels.
- `destination`: The destination pixel buffer.

## Discussion

Discussion Use this function to overwrite one or more channels of an interleaved buffer with a pixel value. The following code overwrites channels 1 and 3 with the corresponding channels in pixel : let pixelValues: [Pixel_16U] = [ 1, 2, 3, 4,                                  5, 6, 7, 8 ] let buffer = vImage.PixelBuffer(pixelValues: pixelValues,                                 size: vImage.Size(width: 1,                                                   height: 2),                                 pixelFormat: vImage.Interleaved16Ux4.self)

let destination = vImage.PixelBuffer(size: vImage.Size(width: 1,                                                        height: 2),                                      pixelFormat: vImage.Interleaved16Ux4.self)

let pixel = Pixel_8888(101, 102, 103, 104)

buffer.overwriteChannels([3, 1],                          withPixel: pixel,                          destination: destination) On return, `destination.array` contains the following values: [ 1, 102, 3, 104,   5, 102, 7, 104 ]
