60 <para>To query the cropping rectangle size and position
61applications set the <structfield>type</structfield> field of a
62<structname>v4l2_crop</structname> structure to the respective buffer
63(stream) type and call the <constant>VIDIOC_G_CROP</constant> ioctl
64with a pointer to this structure. The driver fills the rest of the
65structure or returns the &EINVAL; if cropping is not supported.</para>
66
67 <para>To change the cropping rectangle applications initialize the
68<structfield>type</structfield> and &v4l2-rect; substructure named
69<structfield>c</structfield> of a v4l2_crop structure and call the
70<constant>VIDIOC_S_CROP</constant> ioctl with a pointer to this
71structure.</para>
72
73 <para>The driver first adjusts the requested dimensions against
74hardware limits, &ie; the bounds given by the capture/output window,
75and it rounds to the closest possible values of horizontal and
76vertical offset, width and height. In particular the driver must round
77the vertical offset of the cropping rectangle to frame lines modulo
78two, such that the field order cannot be confused.</para>
79
80 <para>Second the driver adjusts the image size (the opposite
81rectangle of the scaling process, source or target depending on the
82data direction) to the closest size possible while maintaining the
83current horizontal and vertical scaling factor.</para>
84
85 <para>Finally the driver programs the hardware with the actual
86cropping and image parameters. <constant>VIDIOC_S_CROP</constant> is a
87write-only ioctl, it does not return the actual parameters. To query
88them applications must call <constant>VIDIOC_G_CROP</constant> and
89&VIDIOC-G-FMT;. When the parameters are unsuitable the application may
90modify the cropping or image parameters and repeat the cycle until
91satisfactory parameters have been negotiated.</para>
92
93 <para>When cropping is not supported then no parameters are
94changed and <constant>VIDIOC_S_CROP</constant> returns the
95&EINVAL;.</para>
