vu :: typeof(u) = convert_to(v, u)

Helper that converts (vector) types, possibly "appending" missing dimensions or "truncating" dimensions with reasonable default choices.

(x, y) -> (x, y, 0)
`(x, y) -> (x, y, 0, 1)
(x, y, z) -> (x, y, z, 1)
(x, y, z) -> (x, y)
(x, y, z, w) -> (x/w, y/w, z/w)
(r, g, r) -> RBG24 | RGBA`
(r, g, r, a) -> RBG24 | RGBA`

PMeshIO.RGBA — Type

Default type for representing RBG and RBGA colors in 32 bit.
