patch adds the description of modeling of composing, cropping and scaling
features in V4L2. Finally, some examples are presented.

+<para>Video hardware can have various cropping, composing and scaling

+
+ <title>Comparison with old cropping API.</title>
+
+<para>The selection API was introduced to cope with deficiencies of previous
+<link linkend="crop"> API </link>, that was designed to control simple capture
+devices. Later the cropping API was adopted by video output drivers. The ioctls
+are used to select a part of the display were the video signal is inserted. It
+should be considered as an API abuse because the described operation is
+actually the composing. The selection API makes a clear distinction between
+composing and cropping operations by setting the appropriate targets. The V4L2
+API lacks any support for composing to and cropping from an image inside a
+memory buffer. The application could configure a capture device to fill only a
+part of an image by abusing V4L2 API. Cropping a smaller image from a larger
+one is achieved by setting the field <structfield>
+&v4l2-pix-format;::bytesperline </structfield>. Introducing an image offsets
+could be done by modifying field <structfield> &v4l2-buffer;::m:userptr
+</structfield> before calling <constant> VIDIOC_QBUF </constant>. Those
+operations should be avoided because they are not portable (endianness), and do
+not work for macroblock and Bayer formats and mmap buffers. The selection API
+deals with configuration of buffer cropping/composing in a clear, intuitive and
+portable way. Next, with the selection API the concepts of the padded target
+and constraints flags are introduced. Finally, <structname> &v4l2-crop;
+</structname> and <structname> &v4l2-cropcap; </structname> have no reserved
+fields. Therefore there is no way to extend their functionality. The new
+<structname> &v4l2-selection; </structname> provides a lot of place for future
+extensions. Driver developers are encouraged to implement only selection API.
+The former cropping API would be simulated using the new one. </para>
