+@chapter Filtergraph description
+@c man begin FILTERGRAPH DESCRIPTION
+
+A filtergraph is a directed graph of connected filters. It can contain
+cycles, and there can be multiple links between a pair of
+filters. Each link has one input pad on one side connecting it to one
+filter from which it takes its input, and one output pad on the other
+side connecting it to the one filter accepting its output.
+
+Each filter in a filtergraph is an instance of a filter class
+registered in the application, which defines the features and the
+number of input and output pads of the filter.
+
+A filter with no input pads is called a "source", a filter with no
+output pads is called a "sink".
+
+@section Filtergraph syntax
+
+A filtergraph can be represented using a textual representation, which
+is recognized by the @code{-vf} and @code{-af} options in @command{avconv}
+and @command{avplay}, and by the @code{av_parse_graph()} function defined in
+@file{libavfilter/avfiltergraph}.
+
+A filterchain consists of a sequence of connected filters, each one
+connected to the previous one in the sequence. A filterchain is
+represented by a list of ","-separated filter descriptions.
+
+A filtergraph consists of a sequence of filterchains. A sequence of
+filterchains is represented by a list of ";"-separated filterchain
+descriptions.
+
+A filter is represented by a string of the form:
+[@var{in_link_1}]...[@var{in_link_N}]@var{filter_name}=@var{arguments}[@var{out_link_1}]...[@var{out_link_M}]
+
+@var{filter_name} is the name of the filter class of which the
+described filter is an instance of, and has to be the name of one of
+the filter classes registered in the program.
+The name of the filter class is optionally followed by a string
+"=@var{arguments}".
+
+@var{arguments} is a string which contains the parameters used to
+initialize the filter instance, and are described in the filter
+descriptions below.
+
+The list of arguments can be quoted using the character "'" as initial
+and ending mark, and the character '\' for escaping the characters
+within the quoted text; otherwise the argument string is considered
+terminated when the next special character (belonging to the set
+"[]=;,") is encountered.
+
+The name and arguments of the filter are optionally preceded and
+followed by a list of link labels.
+A link label allows to name a link and associate it to a filter output
+or input pad. The preceding labels @var{in_link_1}
+... @var{in_link_N}, are associated to the filter input pads,
+the following labels @var{out_link_1} ... @var{out_link_M}, are
+associated to the output pads.
+
+When two link labels with the same name are found in the
+filtergraph, a link between the corresponding input and output pad is
+created.
+
+If an output pad is not labelled, it is linked by default to the first
+unlabelled input pad of the next filter in the filterchain.
+For example in the filterchain:
+@example
+nullsrc, split[L1], [L2]overlay, nullsink
+@end example
+the split filter instance has two output pads, and the overlay filter
+instance two input pads. The first output pad of split is labelled
+"L1", the first input pad of overlay is labelled "L2", and the second
+output pad of split is linked to the second input pad of overlay,
+which are both unlabelled.
+
+In a complete filterchain all the unlabelled filter input and output
+pads must be connected. A filtergraph is considered valid if all the
+filter input and output pads of all the filterchains are connected.
+
+Follows a BNF description for the filtergraph syntax:
+@example
+@var{NAME} ::= sequence of alphanumeric characters and '_'
+@var{LINKLABEL} ::= "[" @var{NAME} "]"
+@var{LINKLABELS} ::= @var{LINKLABEL} [@var{LINKLABELS}]
+@var{FILTER_ARGUMENTS} ::= sequence of chars (eventually quoted)
+@var{FILTER} ::= [@var{LINKNAMES}] @var{NAME} ["=" @var{ARGUMENTS}] [@var{LINKNAMES}]
+@var{FILTERCHAIN} ::= @var{FILTER} [,@var{FILTERCHAIN}]
+@var{FILTERGRAPH} ::= @var{FILTERCHAIN} [;@var{FILTERGRAPH}]

@var{threshold} is the threshold below which a pixel value is
considered black, and defaults to 32.
+@section boxblur
+
+Apply boxblur algorithm to the input video.
+
+This filter accepts the parameters:
+@var{luma_power}:@var{luma_radius}:@var{chroma_radius}:@var{chroma_power}:@var{alpha_radius}:@var{alpha_power}
+
+Chroma and alpha parameters are optional, if not specified they default
+to the corresponding values set for @var{luma_radius} and
+@var{luma_power}.
+
+@var{luma_radius}, @var{chroma_radius}, and @var{alpha_radius} represent
+the radius in pixels of the box used for blurring the corresponding
+input plane. They are expressions, and can contain the following
+constants:
+@table @option
+@item w, h
+the input width and height in pixels
+
+@item cw, ch
+the input chroma image width and height in pixels
+
+@item hsub, vsub
+horizontal and vertical chroma subsample values. For example for the
+pixel format "yuv422p" @var{hsub} is 2 and @var{vsub} is 1.
+@end table
+
+The radius must be a non-negative number, and must not be greater than
+the value of the expression @code{min(w,h)/2} for the luma and alpha planes,
+and of @code{min(cw,ch)/2} for the chroma planes.
+
+@var{luma_power}, @var{chroma_power}, and @var{alpha_power} represent
+how many times the boxblur filter is applied to the corresponding
+plane.
+
+Some examples follow:
+

+
+The filter also recognizes strftime() sequences in the provided text
+and expands them accordingly. Check the documentation of strftime().
+
+The filter accepts parameters as a list of @var{key}=@var{value} pairs,
+separated by ":".
+
+The description of the accepted parameters follows.

+opacity of 20%.
+
+Note that the double quotes are not necessary if spaces are not used
+within the parameter list.
+
+For more information about libfreetype, check:
+@url{http://www.freetype.org/}.
+
+@section fade
+
+Apply fade-in/out effect to input video.
+
+It accepts the parameters:
+@var{type}:@var{start_frame}:@var{nb_frames}
+
+@var{type} specifies if the effect type, can be either "in" for
+fade-in, or "out" for a fade-out effect.
+
+@var{start_frame} specifies the number of the start frame for starting
+to apply the fade effect.
+
+@var{nb_frames} specifies the number of frames for which the fade
+effect has to last. At the end of the fade-in effect the output video
+will have the same intensity as the input video, at the end of the
+fade-out transition the output video will be completely black.
+
+A few usage examples follow, usable too as test scenarios.
+@example
+# fade in first 30 frames of video
+fade=in:0:30
+
+# fade out last 45 frames of a 200-frame video
+fade=out:155:45
+
+# fade in first 25 frames and fade out last 25 frames of a 1000-frame video
+fade=in:0:25, fade=out:975:25
+
+# make first 5 frames black, then fade in from frame 5-24
+fade=in:5:20
+@end example
+
+@section fieldorder
+
+Transform the field order of the input video.
+
+It accepts one parameter which specifies the required field order that
+the input interlaced video will be transformed to. The parameter can
+assume one of the following values:
+
+@table @option
+@item 0 or bff
+output bottom field first
+@item 1 or tff
+output top field first
+@end table
+
+Default value is "tff".
+
+Transformation is achieved by shifting the picture content up or down
+by one line, and filling the remaining line with appropriate picture content.
+This method is consistent with most broadcast field order converters.
+
+If the input video is not flagged as being interlaced, or it is already
+flagged as being of the required output field order then this filter does
+not alter the incoming video.
+
+This filter is very useful when converting to or from PAL DV material,
+which is bottom field first.
+
+For example:
+@example
+./avconv -i in.vob -vf "fieldorder=bff" out.dv
+@end example
+
@section fifo
Buffer input images and send them when they are requested.
The filter accepts a list of pixel format names, separated by ":",
for example "yuv420p:monow:rgb24".
-The following command:
-
+Some examples follow:
@example
-./ffmpeg -i in.avi -vf "format=yuv420p" out.avi
-@end example
+# convert the input video to the format "yuv420p"
+format=yuv420p
-will convert the input video to the format "yuv420p".
+# convert the input video to any of the formats in the list
+format=yuv420p:yuv444p:yuv410p
+@end example
+@anchor{frei0r}
@section frei0r
Apply a frei0r effect to the input video.
To enable compilation of this filter you need to install the frei0r
-header and configure FFmpeg with --enable-frei0r.
+header and configure Libav with --enable-frei0r.
The filter supports the syntax:
@example
-@var{filter_name}:@var{param1}:@var{param2}:...:@var{paramN}
+@var{filter_name}[@{:|=@}@var{param1}:@var{param2}:...:@var{paramN}]
@end example
@var{filter_name} is the name to the frei0r effect to load. If the

+@section gradfun
+
+Fix the banding artifacts that are sometimes introduced into nearly flat
+regions by truncation to 8bit colordepth.
+Interpolate the gradients that should go where the bands are, and
+dither them.
+
+This filter is designed for playback only. Do not use it prior to
+lossy compression, because compression tends to lose the dither and
+bring back the bands.
+
+The filter takes two optional parameters, separated by ':':
+@var{strength}:@var{radius}
+
+@var{strength} is the maximum amount by which the filter will change
+any one pixel. Also the threshold for detecting nearly flat
+regions. Acceptable values range from .51 to 255, default value is
+1.2, out-of-range values will be clipped to the valid range.
+
+@var{radius} is the neighborhood to fit the gradient to. A larger
+radius makes for smoother gradients, but also prevents the filter from
+modifying the pixels near detailed regions. Acceptable values are
+8-32, default value is 16, out-of-range values will be clipped to the
+valid range.
+
+@example
+# default parameters
+gradfun=1.2:16
+
+# omitting radius
+gradfun=1.2

+The filter takes the parameters: @var{filter_name}@{:=@}@var{filter_params}.
+
+@var{filter_name} is the name of the libopencv filter to apply.
+
+@var{filter_params} specifies the parameters to pass to the libopencv
+filter. If not specified the default values are assumed.
-The filter accepts the following parameters:

+
+@anchor{dilate}
+@subsection dilate
+
+Dilate an image by using a specific structuring element.
+This filter corresponds to the libopencv function @code{cvDilate}.
+
+It accepts the parameters: @var{struct_el}:@var{nb_iterations}.
+
+@var{struct_el} represents a structuring element, and has the syntax:
+@var{cols}x@var{rows}+@var{anchor_x}x@var{anchor_y}/@var{shape}
+
+@var{cols} and @var{rows} represent the number of columns and rows of
+the structuring element, @var{anchor_x} and @var{anchor_y} the anchor
+point, and @var{shape} the shape for the structuring element, and
+can be one of the values "rect", "cross", "ellipse", "custom".
+
+If the value for @var{shape} is "custom", it must be followed by a
+string of the form "=@var{filename}". The file with name
+@var{filename} is assumed to represent a binary image, with each
+printable character corresponding to a bright pixel. When a custom
+@var{shape} is used, @var{cols} and @var{rows} are ignored, the number
+or columns and rows of the read file are assumed instead.
+
+The default value for @var{struct_el} is "3x3+0x0/rect".
+
+@var{nb_iterations} specifies the number of times the transform is
+applied to the image, and defaults to 1.
+
+Follow some example:
+@example
+# use the default values
+ocv=dilate
+
+# dilate using a structuring element with a 5x5 cross, iterate two times
+ocv=dilate=5x5+2x2/cross:2
+
+# read the shape from the file diamond.shape, iterate two times
+# the file diamond.shape may contain a pattern of characters like this:
+# *
+# ***
+# *****
+# ***
+# *
+# the specified cols and rows are ignored (but not the anchor point coordinates)
+ocv=0x0+2x2/custom=diamond.shape:2
+@end example
+
+@subsection erode
+
+Erode an image by using a specific structuring element.
+This filter corresponds to the libopencv function @code{cvErode}.
+
+The filter accepts the parameters: @var{struct_el}:@var{nb_iterations},
+with the same syntax and semantics as the @ref{dilate} filter.
+
+@subsection smooth
+
+Smooth the input video.
+
+The filter takes the following parameters:
@var{type}:@var{param1}:@var{param2}:@var{param3}:@var{param4}.
@var{type} is the type of smooth filter to apply, and can be one of
other parameters is 0.
These parameters correspond to the parameters assigned to the
-libopencv function @code{cvSmooth}. Refer to the official libopencv

+
+@anchor{overlay}
+@section overlay
+
+Overlay one video on top of another.
+
+It takes two inputs and one output, the first input is the "main"
+video on which the second input is overlayed.
+
+It accepts the parameters: @var{x}:@var{y}.
+
+@var{x} is the x coordinate of the overlayed video on the main video,
+@var{y} is the y coordinate. The parameters are expressions containing
+the following parameters:
+
+@table @option
+@item main_w, main_h
+main input width and height
+
+@item W, H
+same as @var{main_w} and @var{main_h}
+
+@item overlay_w, overlay_h
+overlay input width and height
+
+@item w, h
+same as @var{overlay_w} and @var{overlay_h}
+@end table
+
+Be aware that frames are taken from each input video in timestamp
+order, hence, if their initial timestamps differ, it is a a good idea
+to pass the two inputs through a @var{setpts=PTS-STARTPTS} filter to
+have them begin in the same zero timestamp, as it does the example for
+the @var{movie} filter.
+
+Follow some examples:
+@example
+# draw the overlay at 10 pixels from the bottom right
+# corner of the main video.
+overlay=main_w-overlay_w-10:main_h-overlay_h-10
+
+# insert a transparent PNG logo in the bottom left corner of the input
+movie=logo.png [logo];
+[in][logo] overlay=10:main_h-overlay_h-10 [out]
+
+# insert 2 different transparent PNG logos (second logo on bottom
+# right corner):
+movie=logo1.png [logo1];
+movie=logo2.png [logo2];
+[in][logo1] overlay=10:H-h-10 [in+logo1];
+[in+logo1][logo2] overlay=W-w-10:H-h-10 [out]
+
+# add a transparent color layer on top of the main video,
+# WxH specifies the size of the main input to the overlay filter
+color=red@.3:WxH [over]; [in][over] overlay [out]
+@end example
+
+You can chain together more overlays but the efficiency of such
+approach is yet to be tested.

+@var{size}:@var{rate}:@var{src_name}[@{=|:@}@var{param1}:@var{param2}:...:@var{paramN}]
+@end example
+
+@var{size} is the size of the video to generate, may be a string of the
+form @var{width}x@var{height} or a frame size abbreviation.
+@var{rate} is the rate of the video to generate, may be a string of
+the form @var{num}/@var{den} or a frame rate abbreviation.
+@var{src_name} is the name to the frei0r source to load. For more
+information regarding frei0r and how to set the parameters read the
+section @ref{frei0r} in the description of the video filters.
+
+Some examples follow:
+@example
+# generate a frei0r partik0l source with size 200x200 and framerate 10
+# which is overlayed on the overlay filter main input
+frei0r_src=200x200:10:partik0l=1234 [overlay]; [in][overlay] overlay
+@end example
+
+@section rgbtestsrc, testsrc
+
+The @code{rgbtestsrc} source generates an RGB test pattern useful for
+detecting RGB vs BGR issues. You should see a red, green and blue
+stripe from top to bottom.
+
+The @code{testsrc} source generates a test video pattern, showing a
+color pattern, a scrolling gradient and a timestamp. This is mainly
+intended for testing purposes.
+
+Both sources accept an optional sequence of @var{key}=@var{value} pairs,
+separated by ":". The description of the accepted options follows.
+
+@table @option
+
+@item size, s
+Specify the size of the sourced video, it may be a string of the form
+@var{width}x@var{height}, or the name of a size abbreviation. The
+default value is "320x240".
+
+@item rate, r
+Specify the frame rate of the sourced video, as the number of frames
+generated per second. It has to be a string in the format
+@var{frame_rate_num}/@var{frame_rate_den}, an integer number, a float
+number or a valid video frame rate abbreviation. The default value is
+"25".
+
+@item sar
+Set the sample aspect ratio of the sourced video.
+
+@item duration
+Set the video duration of the sourced video. The accepted syntax is:
+@example
+[-]HH[:MM[:SS[.m...]]]
+[-]S+[.m...]
+@end example
+See also the function @code{av_parse_time()}.
+
+If not specified, or the expressed duration is negative, the video is
+supposed to be generated forever.
+@end table
+
+For example the following:
+@example
+testsrc=duration=5.3:size=qcif:rate=10
+@end example
+
+will generate a video with a duration of 5.3 seconds, with size
+176x144 and a framerate of 10 frames per second.
