1 <section id="v4l2-selections-common"> 2 3 <title>Common selection definitions</title> 4 5 <para>While the <link linkend="selection-api">V4L2 selection 6 API</link> and <link linkend="v4l2-subdev-selections">V4L2 subdev 7 selection APIs</link> are very similar, there's one fundamental 8 difference between the two. On sub-device API, the selection 9 rectangle refers to the media bus format, and is bound to a 10 sub-device's pad. On the V4L2 interface the selection rectangles 11 refer to the in-memory pixel format.</para> 12 13 <para>This section defines the common definitions of the 14 selection interfaces on the two APIs.</para> 15 16 <section id="v4l2-selection-targets"> 17 18 <title>Selection targets</title> 19 20 <para>The precise meaning of the selection targets may be 21 dependent on which of the two interfaces they are used.</para> 22 23 <table pgwide="1" frame="none" id="v4l2-selection-targets-table"> 24 <title>Selection target definitions</title> 25 <tgroup cols="5"> 26 <colspec colname="c1" /> 27 <colspec colname="c2" /> 28 <colspec colname="c3" /> 29 <colspec colname="c4" /> 30 <colspec colname="c5" /> 31 &cs-def; 32 <thead> 33 <row rowsep="1"> 34 <entry align="left">Target name</entry> 35 <entry align="left">id</entry> 36 <entry align="left">Definition</entry> 37 <entry align="left">Valid for V4L2</entry> 38 <entry align="left">Valid for V4L2 subdev</entry> 39 </row> 40 </thead> 41 <tbody valign="top"> 42 <row> 43 <entry><constant>V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP</constant></entry> 44 <entry>0x0000</entry> 45 <entry>Crop rectangle.
