The :ref:`struct v4l2_pix_format <v4l2-pix-format>` and +:ref:`struct v4l2_pix_format_mplane <v4l2-pix-format-mplane>` structures define the +format and layout of an image in memory. The former is used with the +single-planar API, while the latter is used with the multi-planar +version (see :ref:`planar-apis`). Image formats are negotiated with +the :ref:`VIDIOC_S_FMT <VIDIOC_G_FMT>` ioctl. (The explanations here +focus on video capturing and output, for overlay frame buffer formats +see also :ref:`VIDIOC_G_FBUF <VIDIOC_G_FBUF>`.) + + +.. toctree:: + :maxdepth: 1 + + pixfmt-002 + pixfmt-003 + pixfmt-004 + colorspaces + pixfmt-006 + pixfmt-007 + pixfmt-008 + pixfmt-indexed + pixfmt-rgb + yuv-formats + depth-formats + pixfmt-013 + sdr-formats + pixfmt-reserved |
