Detailed Description

libcamera image pixel format

The PixelFormat type describes the format of images in the public libcamera API. It stores a FourCC value as a 32-bit unsigned integer and a modifier. The FourCC and modifier values are defined in the Linux kernel DRM/KMS API (see linux/drm_fourcc.h). Constant expressions for all pixel formats supported by libcamera are available in libcamera/formats.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

PixelFormat() [1/2]

libcamera::PixelFormat::PixelFormat ( )

inline

Construct a PixelFormat with an invalid format.

PixelFormat instances constructed with the default constructor are invalid, calling the isValid() function returns false.

PixelFormat() [2/2]

libcamera::PixelFormat::PixelFormat ( uint32_t  fourcc, uint64_t  modifier = 0  )

inlineexplicit

Construct a PixelFormat from a DRM FourCC and a modifier.

Parameters

[in]	fourcc	A DRM FourCC
[in]	modifier	A DRM FourCC modifier

Member Function Documentation

fourcc()

libcamera::PixelFormat::fourcc ( ) const

inline

Retrieve the pixel format FourCC.

Returns

DRM FourCC

fromString()

PixelFormat libcamera::PixelFormat::fromString ( const std::string &  name )

static

Create a PixelFormat from a string.

Returns

The PixelFormat represented by the name if known, or an invalid pixel format otherwise.

isValid()

bool libcamera::PixelFormat::isValid ( ) const

inline

Check if the pixel format is valid.

PixelFormat instances constructed with the default constructor are invalid. Instances constructed with a FourCC defined in the DRM API are valid. The behaviour is undefined otherwise.

Returns

True if the pixel format is valid, false otherwise

modifier()

libcamera::PixelFormat::modifier ( ) const

inline

Retrieve the pixel format modifier.

Returns

DRM modifier

operator uint32_t()

libcamera::PixelFormat::operator uint32_t ( ) const

inline

Convert the the pixel format numerical value.

Returns

The pixel format numerical value

operator!=()

bool libcamera::PixelFormat::operator!= ( const PixelFormat &  other ) const

inline

Compare pixel formats for inequality.

Returns

True if the two pixel formats are not equal, false otherwise

operator<()

bool libcamera::PixelFormat::operator<

(

const PixelFormat &

other

)

const

Compare pixel formats for smaller than order.

Returns

True if this is smaller than other, false otherwise

operator==()

bool libcamera::PixelFormat::operator==

(

const PixelFormat &

other

)

const

Compare pixel formats for equality.

Returns

True if the two pixel formats are equal, false otherwise

toString()

std::string libcamera::PixelFormat::toString

(

)

const

Assemble and return a string describing the pixel format.

Returns

A string describing the pixel format
