151 * The pixel format is "pseudo-paletted". This means that it contains a
152 * fixed palette in the 2nd plane but the palette is fixed/constant for each
153 * PIX_FMT. This allows interpreting the data as if it was PAL8, which can
154 * in some cases be simpler. Or the data can be interpreted purely based on
155 * the pixel format without using the palette.
156 * An example of a pseudo-paletted format is AV_PIX_FMT_GRAY8
158 #define AV_PIX_FMT_FLAG_PSEUDOPAL (1 << 6)
161 * The pixel format has an alpha channel. This is set on all formats that
162 * support alpha in some way. The exception is AV_PIX_FMT_PAL8, which can
163 * carry alpha as part of the palette. Details are explained in the
164 * AVPixelFormat enum, and are also encoded in the corresponding
165 * AVPixFmtDescriptor.
167 * The alpha is always straight, never pre-multiplied.
169 * If a codec or a filter does not support alpha, it should set all alpha to
170 * opaque, or use the equivalent pixel formats without alpha component, e.g.
171 * AV_PIX_FMT_RGB0 (or AV_PIX_FMT_RGB24 etc.) instead of AV_PIX_FMT_RGBA.
