52 | <para>Applications use this function to query the cropping | ||
53 | limits, the pixel aspect of images and to calculate scale factors. | ||
54 | They set the <structfield>type</structfield> field of a v4l2_cropcap | ||
55 | structure to the respective buffer (stream) type and call the | ||
56 | <constant>VIDIOC_CROPCAP</constant> ioctl with a pointer to this | ||
57 | structure. Drivers fill the rest of the structure. The results are | ||
58 | constant except when switching the video standard. Remember this | ||
59 | switch can occur implicit when switching the video input or | ||
60 | output.</para> | ||
