And that's why frei0r does not try to be a + * one-in-all general video plugin API, but instead an API for the most + * common video effects: simple filters, sources and mixers that can be + * controlled by parameters. + * + * It's our hope that this way these simple effects can be shared between + * many applications, avoiding their reimplementation by different + * projects. + * + * On the other hand, this is not meant as a competing standard to + * more ambitious efforts that try to satisfy the needs of many different + * applications and more complex effects. + * + * + * @section sec_overview Overview + * + * If you are new to frei0r, the best thing is probably to have + * a look at the <a href="frei0r_8h-source.html">frei0r header</a>, + * which is quite simple. + * + * After that, you might want to look at the + * <a href="frei0r_8h.html">frei0r functions</a> in more detail. + * + * When developing a new frei0r effect, you have to choose + * - which effect type to use (\ref PLUGIN_TYPE), + * - which color model to use (\ref COLOR_MODEL), and + * - which parameter types (\ref PARAM_TYPE) your effect will support. + * + * To round things up, you should decide whether your effect should have + * an associated icon (\ref icons), and where it will be installed + * (\ref pluglocations). + * + * @section sec_changes Changes + * + * @subsection sec_changes_1_0_1_1 From frei0r 1.0 to frei0r 1.1 + * + * - added specifications for plugin locations + * - added specifications for frei0r icons + * - added RGBA8888 color model + * - added packed32 color model + * - added better specification of color models + * - added string type + * - added bounds to resolution (8 <= width, height <= 2048) + * - width and height must be an integer multiple of 8 + * - frame data must be 16 byte aligned + * - improved update specification (must not change parameters, + * must restore fpu state) + * - added note for applications to ignore effects with unknown fields + * - added new plugin types mixer2 and mixer3 + * - added section about \ref concurrency + */ + + +/** + * \addtogroup pluglocations Plugin Locations + * @section sec_pluglocations Plugin Locations + * + * For Unix platforms there are rules for the location of frei0r plugins. + * + * frei0r 1.x plugin files should be located in + * + * - (1) /usr/lib/frei0r-1/\<vendor\> + * - (2) /usr/local/lib/frei0r-1/\<vendor\> + * - (3) $HOME/.frei0r-1/lib/\<vendor\> + * + * Examples: + * + * - /usr/lib/frei0r-1/mob/flippo.so + * - /usr/lib/frei0r-1/drone/flippo.so + * - /usr/local/lib/frei0r-1/gephex/coma/invert0r.so + * - /home/martin/.frei0r-1/lib/martin/test.so + * + * Like in these examples plugins should be placed in "vendor" subdirs + * to reduce name clashes. + * + * @subsection sec_order Plugin Loading Order + * + * The application shall load plugins in the following order: 3, 2, 1. + * If a name clash occurs (two or more frei0r plugins with identical + * effect name), the plugins in directory 3 have precedence over plugins + * in directory 2, and those in directory 2 have precedence over plugins + * in directory 1. + * + * This makes it possible for users to "override" effects that are + * installed in system wide directories by placing plugins in their + * home directory. + * + * The order of loading plugins inside each of the directories + * 1, 2, and 3 is not defined. + */ + +/** + *\addtogroup icons Icons for frei0r effects + * @section sec_icons Icons for frei0r effects + * + * Each frei0r effect can have an associated icon. + * + * @subsection sec_icon_format Icon Format + * + * The format of frei0r icons must be png. + * Recommended resolution is 64x64. + * The icon filename of an effect with effect name "frei0r" + * must be "frei0r.png". + * + * @subsection sec_icon_location Icon location + * + * The exact location where the application should look for the + * plugin is platform dependant. + * + * For Windows platforms, the icon should be at the same place as + * the plugin containing the effect. + * + * For Unix platforms, the following mapping from plugin location + * to icon location must be used: + * + * Let \<plugin_path\>/\<plugin\> be a frei0r plugin with name \<effect_name\>. + * Then the corresponding icon (if any) shall be located in + * \<icon_path\>/\<effect_name\>.png. + * \<icon_path\> can be obtained in the following way: + * + * @verbatim + <plugin_path> | <icon_path> + ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- + $HOME/.frei0r-1/lib/<vendor> | $HOME/.frei0r-1/icons/<vendor> + /usr/local/lib/frei0r-1/<vendor> | /usr/local/share/frei0r-1/icons/<vendor> + /usr/lib/frei0r-1/<vendor> | /usr/share/frei0r-1/icons/<vendor> + * | <plugin_path> + @endverbatim + * + * (The wildcard '*' stands for any other plugin_path) + * + * For other platforms, no location is defined.
