void av_image_fill_max_pixsteps	(	int	max_pixsteps[4],
		int	max_pixstep_comps[4],

	)

Compute the max pixel step for each plane of an image with a format described by pixdesc.

The pixel step is the distance in bytes between the first byte of the group of bytes which describe a pixel component and the first byte of the successive group in the same plane for the same component.

Parameters

max_pixsteps	an array which is filled with the max pixel step for each plane. Since a plane may contain different pixel components, the computed max_pixsteps[plane] is relative to the component in the plane with the max pixel step.
max_pixstep_comps	an array which is filled with the component for each plane which has the max pixel step. May be NULL.

		ptrdiff_t	src_linesize,
		ptrdiff_t	bytewidth,
		int	height
	)

Copy image data located in uncacheable (e.g.

GPU mapped) memory. Where available, this function will use special functionality for reading from such memory, which may result in greatly improved performance compared to plain av_image_copy_plane().

bytewidth must be contained by both absolute values of dst_linesize and src_linesize, otherwise the function behavior is undefined.

Note: The linesize parameters have the type ptrdiff_t here, while they are int for av_image_copy_plane().; On x86, the linesizes currently need to be aligned to the cacheline size (i.e. 64) to get improved performance.

Copy image data located in uncacheable (e.g.

The data pointers and the linesizes must be aligned to the maximum required by the CPU architecture.

		int	dst_linesize[4],

		enum AVPixelFormat	pix_fmt,
		int	width,
		int	height,
		int	align
	)

Setup the data pointers and linesizes based on the specified image parameters and the provided array.

The fields of the given image are filled in by using the src address which points to the image data buffer. Depending on the specified pixel format, one or multiple image data pointers and line sizes will be set. If a planar format is specified, several pointers will be set pointing to the different picture planes and the line sizes of the different planes will be stored in the lines_sizes array. Call with src == NULL to get the required size for the src buffer.

To allocate the buffer and fill in the dst_data and dst_linesize in one call, use av_image_alloc().

Parameters

dst_data	data pointers to be filled in
dst_linesize	linesizes for the image in dst_data to be filled in
src	buffer which will contain or contains the actual image data, can be NULL
pix_fmt	the pixel format of the image
width	the width of the image in pixels
height	the height of the image in pixels
align	the value used in src for linesize alignment

Returns: the size in bytes required for src, a negative error code in case of failure

Check if the given sample aspect ratio of an image is valid.

It is considered invalid if the denominator is 0 or if applying the ratio to the image size would make the smaller dimension less than 1. If the sar numerator is 0, it is considered unknown and will return as valid.

Parameters

w	width of the image
h	height of the image
sar	sample aspect ratio of the image

Returns: 0 if valid, a negative AVERROR code otherwise

◆ av_image_fill_black()

		const ptrdiff_t	dst_linesize[4],
		enum AVPixelFormat	pix_fmt,
		enum AVColorRange	range,
		int	width,
		int	height
	)

Overwrite the image data with black.

This is suitable for filling a sub-rectangle of an image, meaning the padding between the right most pixel and the left most pixel on the next line will not be overwritten. For some formats, the image size might be rounded up due to inherent alignment.

If the pixel format has alpha, the alpha is cleared to opaque.

This can return an error if the pixel format is not supported. Normally, all non-hwaccel pixel formats should be supported.

Passing NULL for dst_data is allowed. Then the function returns whether the operation would have succeeded. (It can return an error if the pix_fmt is not supported.)

Parameters

dst_data	data pointers to destination image
dst_linesize	linesizes for the destination image
pix_fmt	the pixel format of the image
range	the color range of the image (important for colorspaces such as YUV)
width	the width of the image in pixels
height	the height of the image in pixels

Returns: 0 if the image data was cleared, a negative AVERROR code otherwise
