279 <title>Cropping and scaling</title>
280
281 <para>Many sub-devices support cropping frames on their input or output
282 pads (or possible even on both). Cropping is used to select the area of
283 interest in an image, typically on a video sensor or video decoder. It can
284 also be used as part of digital zoom implementations to select the area of
285 the image that will be scaled up.</para>
286
287 <para>Crop settings are defined by a crop rectangle and represented in a
288 &v4l2-rect; by the coordinates of the top left corner and the rectangle
289 size. Both the coordinates and sizes are expressed in pixels.</para>
290
291 <para>The crop rectangle is retrieved and set using the
292 &VIDIOC-SUBDEV-G-CROP; and &VIDIOC-SUBDEV-S-CROP; ioctls. Like for pad
293 formats, drivers store try and active crop rectangles. The format
294 negotiation mechanism applies to crop settings as well.</para>
295
296 <para>On input pads, cropping is applied relatively to the current pad
297 format. The pad format represents the image size as received by the
298 sub-device from the previous block in the pipeline, and the crop rectangle
299 represents the sub-image that will be transmitted further inside the
300 sub-device for processing. The crop rectangle be entirely containted
301 inside the input image size.</para>
302
303 <para>Input crop rectangle are reset to their default value when the input
304 image format is modified. Drivers should use the input image size as the
305 crop rectangle default value, but hardware requirements may prevent this.
306 </para>
307
308 <para>Cropping behaviour on output pads is not defined.</para>

66 <para>To retrieve the current crop rectangle applications set the
67 <structfield>pad</structfield> field of a &v4l2-subdev-crop; to the
68 desired pad number as reported by the media API and the
69 <structfield>which</structfield> field to
70 <constant>V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_ACTIVE</constant>. They then call the
71 <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_CROP</constant> ioctl with a pointer to this
72 structure. The driver fills the members of the <structfield>rect</structfield>
73 field or returns &EINVAL; if the input arguments are invalid, or if cropping
74 is not supported on the given pad.</para>
75
76 <para>To change the current crop rectangle applications set both the
77 <structfield>pad</structfield> and <structfield>which</structfield> fields
78 and all members of the <structfield>rect</structfield> field. They then call
79 the <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_CROP</constant> ioctl with a pointer to this
80 structure. The driver verifies the requested crop rectangle, adjusts it
81 based on the hardware capabilities and configures the device. Upon return
82 the &v4l2-subdev-crop; contains the current format as would be returned
83 by a <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_CROP</constant> call.</para>
84
85 <para>Applications can query the device capabilities by setting the
86 <structfield>which</structfield> to
87 <constant>V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_TRY</constant>. When set, 'try' crop
88 rectangles are not applied to the device by the driver, but are mangled
89 exactly as active crop rectangles and stored in the sub-device file handle.
90 Two applications querying the same sub-device would thus not interact with
91 each other.</para>
92
93 <para>Drivers must not return an error solely because the requested crop
94 rectangle doesn't match the device capabilities. They must instead modify
95 the rectangle to match what the hardware can provide. The modified format
96 should be as close as possible to the original request.</para>
