XvCreateImage(3)		 libXv Functions		XvCreateImage(3)

NAME
     XvCreateImage, XvShmCreateImage - create an XvImage

SYNOPSIS
     #include <X11/extensions/Xvlib.h>

     XvImage * XvCreateImage (Display *dpy, XvPortID port,
			      int id, char *data,
			      int width, int height);

     XvImage * XvShmCreateImage (Display *dpy, XvPortID port,
				 int id, char *data,
				 int width, int height,
				 XShmSegmentInfo *shminfo);

ARGUMENTS
     dpy     Specifies the connection to the X server.

     port    Specifies the port the XvImage will be used with.

     id      Specifies	the format of the image to be created by the XvImageFor-
	     matValues id.

     data    Specifies the image data.

     width, height
	     Specifies the desired width and height of the image.

DESCRIPTION
     XvCreateImage(3) is similar  to  XCreateImage(3).	 XvShmCreateImage(3)  is
     similar  to  XShmCreateImage(3).	The  library  will  allocate the XvImage
     structure and fill out all fields except for data.  Width and height may be
     enlarged in some YUV formats.  The size of the data buffer that needs to be
     allocated will be given in the data_size field in the XvImage.  Image  data
     is  not  allocated  by this function.  The client may pass a pointer to the
     preallocated memory as data or may allocate the  memory  and  fill  in  the
     XvImage  structure's  data  field after the data_size field has been filled
     out by the server.  The XvImage structure may be freed by XFree(3).  Shared
     memory segments are attached/detached with XShmAttach(3)/XShmDetach(3).

RETURN VALUES
     XvImage has the following structure:

     typedef struct {
	int id;
	int width, height;
	int data_size;
	int num_planes;
	int *pitches;
	int *offsets;
	char *data;
	XPointer obdata;
     } XvImage;

     id      A descriptor for the format from the XvImageFormatValues  structure
	     returned by XvListImageFormats(3).

     width, height
	     The width and height of the image in pixels.

     data_size
	     The size of the data buffer in bytes.

     num_planes
	     The number of image planes.

     pitches An array of size num_planes indicating the scanline pitch in bytes.
	     Each plane may have a different pitch.

     offsets An array of size num_planes indicating the byte offset from data to
	     the start of each plane.

     data    A pointer to the start of the data buffer.

     obdata  A private field for holding SHM info.  This field will be set up by
	     the  client  libraries so the programmer will generally need not be
	     concerned with this field.

DIAGNOSTICS
     [XvBadPort]
	     Generated if the requested port does not exist.

     [XvBadAlloc]
	     Generated if the X server was unable to allocate resources required
	     to complete the operation.

     [BadMatch]
	     Generated if incompatible arguments were supplied, such as  a  port
	     that isn't capable of displaying XvImages.
