152 * The pixel format is "pseudo-paletted". This means that it contains a
153 * fixed palette in the 2nd plane but the palette is fixed/constant for each
154 * PIX_FMT. This allows interpreting the data as if it was PAL8, which can
155 * in some cases be simpler. Or the data can be interpreted purely based on
156 * the pixel format without using the palette.
157 * An example of a pseudo-paletted format is AV_PIX_FMT_GRAY8
159 * @deprecated This flag is deprecated, and will be removed. When it is removed,
160 * the extra palette allocation in AVFrame.data[1] is removed as well. Only
161 * actual paletted formats (as indicated by AV_PIX_FMT_FLAG_PAL) will have a
162 * palette. Starting with FFmpeg versions which have this flag deprecated, the
163 * extra "pseudo" palette is already ignored, and API users are not required to

165 * before the deprecation, though).

171 * The pixel format has an alpha channel. This is set on all formats that
172 * support alpha in some way, including AV_PIX_FMT_PAL8. The alpha is always
173 * straight, never pre-multiplied.
175 * If a codec or a filter does not support alpha, it should set all alpha to
176 * opaque, or use the equivalent pixel formats without alpha component, e.g.
