Inefficient code - Solutions

[viktoras d.]

if binaryEncode allowed using an array (like binaryDecode(C*), the 
imagedata of img "myImg", outArray) instead of a predefined list of 
variables, then it would be possible to use array multiplication to 
extract and compare parts of an image e.g. multiply by [1,0,0,0] for 
alpha, [0,1,0,0] for red, etc. But it is not possible and running the 
loop to convert imageData to an array will be a major speed limitation 
anyway.

Some time ago I filled up an enhancement request 
http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=7636
. Or as said above a feasible alternative would be possibility to use 
arrays or at least lists in binaryDecode.
