6RGB Formats
7***********
8
9These formats encode each pixel as a triplet of RGB values. They are packed
10formats, meaning that the RGB values for one pixel are stored consecutively in
11memory and each pixel consumes an integer number of bytes. When the number of
12bits required to store a pixel is not aligned to a byte boundary, the data is
13padded with additional bits to fill the remaining byte.
14
15The formats differ by the number of bits per RGB component (typically but not
16always the same for all components), the order of components in memory, and the
17presence of an alpha component or additional padding bits.
18
19The usage and value of the alpha bits in formats that support them (named ARGB
20or a permutation thereof, collectively referred to as alpha formats) depend on
21the device type and hardware operation. :ref:`Capture <capture>` devices
22(including capture queues of mem-to-mem devices) fill the alpha component in
23memory. When the device captures an alpha channel the alpha component will have
24a meaningful value. Otherwise, when the device doesn't capture an alpha channel
25but can set the alpha bit to a user-configurable value, the
26:ref:`V4L2_CID_ALPHA_COMPONENT <v4l2-alpha-component>` control is used to
27specify that alpha value, and the alpha component of all pixels will be set to
28the value specified by that control. Otherwise a corresponding format without
29an alpha component (XRGB or XBGR) must be used instead of an alpha format.
30
31:ref:`Output <output>` devices (including output queues of mem-to-mem devices
32and :ref:`video output overlay <osd>` devices) read the alpha component from
33memory. When the device processes the alpha channel the alpha component must be
34filled with meaningful values by applications. Otherwise a corresponding format
35without an alpha component (XRGB or XBGR) must be used instead of an alpha
36format.
37
38Formats that contain padding bits are named XRGB (or a permutation thereof).
39The padding bits contain undefined values and must be ignored by applications,
40devices and drivers, for both :ref:`capture` and :ref:`output` devices.
41
42.. note::
43
44   - In all the tables that follow, bit 7 is the most significant bit in a byte.
45   - 'r', 'g' and 'b' denote bits of the red, green and blue components
46     respectively. 'a' denotes bits of the alpha component (if supported by the
47     format), and 'x' denotes padding bits.

50Less Than 8 Bits Per Component
51==============================
52
53These formats store an RGB triplet in one, two or four bytes. They are named
54based on the order of the RGB components as seen in a 8-, 16- or 32-bit word,
55which is then stored in memory in little endian byte order (unless otherwise
56noted by the presence of bit 31 in the 4CC value), and on the number of bits
57for each component. For instance, the RGB565 format stores a pixel in a 16-bit
58word [15:0] laid out at as [R\ :sub:`4` R\ :sub:`3` R\ :sub:`2` R\ :sub:`1`
59R\ :sub:`0` G\ :sub:`5` G\ :sub:`4` G\ :sub:`3` G\ :sub:`2` G\ :sub:`1`
60G\ :sub:`0` B\ :sub:`4` B\ :sub:`3` B\ :sub:`2` B\ :sub:`1` B\ :sub:`0`], and
61stored in memory in two bytes, [R\ :sub:`4` R\ :sub:`3` R\ :sub:`2` R\ :sub:`1`
62R\ :sub:`0` G\ :sub:`5` G\ :sub:`4` G\ :sub:`3`] followed by [G\ :sub:`2`
63G\ :sub:`1` G\ :sub:`0` B\ :sub:`4` B\ :sub:`3` B\ :sub:`2` B\ :sub:`1`
64B\ :sub:`0`].

6428 Bits Per Component
643====================
644
645These formats store an RGB triplet in three or four bytes. They are named based
646on the order of the RGB components as stored in memory, and on the total number
647of bits per pixel. For instance, RGB24 format stores a pixel with [R\ :sub:`7`
648R\ :sub:`6` R\ :sub:`5` R\ :sub:`4` R\ :sub:`3` R\ :sub:`2` R\ :sub:`1`
649R\ :sub:`0`] in the first byte, [G\ :sub:`7` G\ :sub:`6` G\ :sub:`5` G\ :sub:`4`
650G\ :sub:`3` G\ :sub:`2` G\ :sub:`1` G\ :sub:`0`] in the second byte and
651[B\ :sub:`7` B\ :sub:`6` B\ :sub:`5` B\ :sub:`4` B\ :sub:`3` B\ :sub:`2`
652B\ :sub:`1` B\ :sub:`0`] in the third byte. This differs from the DRM format
653nomenclature that instead use the order of components as seen in a 24- or
65432-bit little endian word.

766Deprecated RGB Formats
767======================
768
769Formats defined in :ref:`pixfmt-rgb-deprecated` are deprecated and must not be
770used by new drivers. They are documented here for reference. The meaning of
771their alpha bits ``(a)`` is ill-defined and they are interpreted as in either
772the corresponding ARGB or XRGB format, depending on the driver.
