Forgot to add the scaling factors to this. Would:
__u32 scaling_x; /* fixed 16.16 format */
__u32 scaling_y;
work for people?
If you want to pan around in zoomed in video/viewfinder/snapshots it
might be better to have a fixed 16.16 source rectangle and a integer
destination rectangle. That way you can move around the zoomed in source
rectangle in small increments and upscale it to destination rectangle
(and skip fractions if HW don't support it). For example, if you zoom 4x
and have only fixed 16.16 scaling factor, you still get the the integer
fb (x, y) position in the top left corner (crtc_x, crtc_y) of the
overlay. And when you pan in the overlay, you will have to move source
rectangle in 4 destination pixel increments. So what about this instead:
__u32 x, y, src_w, src_h; /* fixed 16.16 */
__u32 crtc_x, crtc_y, crtc_w, crtc_h;
Maybe rename x, y to src_x, src_y? crtc_w/h is needed to define zoom
factor (scaling_[wh] = crtc_[wh] / src_[wh]).
So the "zoom transform" would be defined by (src_x, src_y, src_w, src_h)
=> (crtc_x, crtc_y, crtc_w, crtc_h)
It also gets rid of how to handle corner cases where scaling factor
defines a source area outside source fb. Now you can just say both rect
has to be inside crtc/fb. And you can also animate/move/clip a zoomed
overlay off screen without picture jumping (fb and display coords don't
align when zoomed).
Summary, rectangles allow more precise representation of zoom factor,
and 16.16 source coords for stable image when moving overlay off screen
(clipping) or panning overlay content.
BTW. Why not just add "__s32 z;" too? drm_mode_set_plane seems to be
plane position setup.
Yeah, all good points. I was thinking the source info could be mostly
gleaned from the associated fb, but if you have hw that can source just
a rect and scale it, passing rects around makes the most sense.
And z-order is a trivial addition, so I have no problem with that. But
communicating plane blending restrictions (including z-order) still has
to be done with a separate ioctl. But that should probably be added by
someone who has crazy hardware and the ability to test it!
Thanks,
After a nights sleep I think a better solution to the clipped jumping
image would be to actually allow to position the dest rect outside the
"crtc rect". That way the user never have to calculate any fixed point
position of the source rect in the non zoomed case. Instead the driver
can clip at the best possible position to limit the jumping. Because the
dest rect will always be aligned on integer pixels.
But it might still be worth keeping fixed position for source rect when
doing pan and zoom, to be used by capable HW.
So to allow simpler user code when moving/animating overlay off screen.
It would be good to allow off screen coord for dest rect. That is, make
crtc_[xy] into signed __s32.
Will try to add the commit and the blend ioctl later including tests,
but first I need to finish and push the base KMS driver :)
