	<title>Description</title>

	<para>These are planar formats, as opposed to a packed format.
The three components are separated into three sub- images or planes.
The Y plane is first. The Y plane has one byte per pixel. For
<constant>V4L2_PIX_FMT_YVU420</constant>, the Cr plane immediately
follows the Y plane in memory. The Cr plane is half the width and half
the height of the Y plane (and of the image). Each Cr belongs to four
pixels, a two-by-two square of the image. For example,
Cr<subscript>0</subscript> belongs to Y'<subscript>00</subscript>,
Y'<subscript>01</subscript>, Y'<subscript>10</subscript>, and
Y'<subscript>11</subscript>. Following the Cr plane is the Cb plane,
just like the Cr plane. <constant>V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUV420</constant> is
the same except the Cb plane comes first, then the Cr plane.</para>

	<para>If the Y plane has pad bytes after each row, then the Cr
and Cb planes have half as many pad bytes after their rows. In other
words, two Cx rows (including padding) is exactly as long as one Y row
(including padding).</para>
