/** @mainpage frei0r - a minimalistic plugin API for video effects * * @section sec_intro Introduction * * This is frei0r - a minimalistic plugin API for video effects. * * The main emphasis is on simplicity - there are many different applications * that use video effects, and they all have different requirements regarding * their internal plugin API. 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 frei0r header, * which is quite simple. * * After that, you might want to look at the * frei0r functions 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/\ * - (2) /usr/local/lib/frei0r-1/\ * - (3) $HOME/.frei0r-1/lib/\ * * 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 \/\ be a frei0r plugin with name \. * Then the corresponding icon (if any) shall be located in * \/\.png. * \ can be obtained in the following way: * * @verbatim | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- $HOME/.frei0r-1/lib/ | $HOME/.frei0r-1/icons/ /usr/local/lib/frei0r-1/ | /usr/local/share/frei0r-1/icons/ /usr/lib/frei0r-1/ | /usr/share/frei0r-1/icons/ * | @endverbatim * * (The wildcard '*' stands for any other plugin_path) * * For other platforms, no location is defined. We recommend to use the * plugin path where possible. */ /** * \addtogroup concurrency Concurrency * @section sec_concurrency Concurrency * * - \ref f0r_init * - \ref f0r_deinit * * These methods must not be called more than once.
