13	<title>Description</title>
14
15	<para>These are planar formats, as opposed to a packed format.
16The three components are separated into three sub- images or planes.
17The Y plane is first. The Y plane has one byte per pixel. For
18<constant>V4L2_PIX_FMT_YVU420</constant>, the Cr plane immediately
19follows the Y plane in memory. The Cr plane is half the width and half
20the height of the Y plane (and of the image). Each Cr belongs to four
21pixels, a two-by-two square of the image. For example,
22Cr<subscript>0</subscript> belongs to Y'<subscript>00</subscript>,
23Y'<subscript>01</subscript>, Y'<subscript>10</subscript>, and
24Y'<subscript>11</subscript>. Following the Cr plane is the Cb plane,
25just like the Cr plane. <constant>V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUV420</constant> is
26the same except the Cb plane comes first, then the Cr plane.</para>
27
28	<para>If the Y plane has pad bytes after each row, then the Cr
29and Cb planes have half as many pad bytes after their rows. In other
30words, two Cx rows (including padding) is exactly as long as one Y row
31(including padding).</para>
