2020-04-14media: docs: move uAPI book to userspace-api/mediaMauro Carvalho Chehab
Since 2017, there is an space reserved for userspace API, created by changeset 1d596dee3862 ("docs: Create a user-space API guide"). As the media subsystem was one of the first subsystems to use Sphinx, until this patch, we were keeping things on a separate place. Let's just use the new location, as having all uAPI altogether will likely make things easier for developers. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>
2019-05-28media: docs-rst: Clarify older field vs. first transmitted fieldSteve Longerbeam
Add a paragraph to make it more clear that video equipment will transmit fields in the same order the fields were captured, and replace some of the "is transmitted first" language with "is the older field", since the latter is the important info for motion compensation applications.

2019-05-08media: field-order.rst: clarify FIELD_ANY and FIELD_NONEHans Verkuil
Rephrased the FIELD_ANY description: rather than explicitly list field values, just say 'when any field format is acceptable'. The list of FIELD values was outdated, so it was a bit confusing. The FIELD_NONE description said that 'The driver may also indicate this order when it cannot distinguish between V4L2_FIELD_TOP and V4L2_FIELD_BOTTOM'. This is false, NONE really means a full frame and userspace depends on that. So drop this line completely. There are no drivers that do this anyway. FIELD_TOP/BOTTOM/ALTERNATE indicate that the number of lines in the buffer are that of a field, not frame, so returning NONE here would cause huge problems. Finally attempt to clarify 'progressive' and 'interlaced' a little bit. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil-cisco@xs4all.nl> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>
2019-03-29media: pdf docs: adjust several tables for better displayMauro Carvalho Chehab
Avoid cell overlapping by changing some sizes, and changing the font sizes when needed. Tested with Sphinx 1.7.8. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>
2018-12-05media: add SPDX header to media uAPI filesMauro Carvalho Chehab
All those files are under GFDL 1.1 or later, with no invariant sections. Tag them as such. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>
2018-12-05media: remove text encoding from rst filesMauro Carvalho Chehab
This is not needed there. Also, the same UTF-8 encoding should be used on all documents. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>
2017-03-13docs-rst: Don't use explicit Makefile rules to build SVG and DOT filesMauro Carvalho Chehab
Now that we have an extension to handle images, use it. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2016-11-30convert more media images to SVGMauro Carvalho Chehab
Using vectorial graphics provide a better visual. As those images are originally using a vectorial graphics input at the pdf files, use them, from an old media tree repository, converting them to SVG.

2016-11-16docs-rst: auto-generate PDF image filesMauro Carvalho Chehab
The PDF files that contain media images were actually generated offline from their SVG or PNG source files. Sphinx can handle PNG sources automatially. So, let's just drop their PDF counterparts. For SVG, however, Sphinx doesn't produce the right tags to use the TexLive SVG support. Also, the SVG support is done via shell execution, with is not nice. So, while we don't have any support for SVG inside Sphinx core or as an extension, move the logic to build them to Makefile, producing the PDF images on runtime. NOTE: due to the way Sphinx works, the PDF images should be generated inside the Kernel source tree, as otherwise Sphinx won't find it, not obeying what's specified by "O=" makefile parameter.

2016-09-22[media] v4l: doc: Remove row numbers from tablesLaurent Pinchart
Shorten the tables by removing row numbers in comments, allowing for later insertion of rows with minimal diffs. All changes have been generated by the following script. import io import re import sys def process_table(fname, data): if fname.endswith('hist-v4l2.rst'): data = re.sub(u'\n{1,2}\t( ?) -( ?) ?', u'\n\t\\1 -\\2', data, flags = re.MULTILINE) data = re.sub(u'\n(\t| )- \.\. row [0-9]+\n\t ?-( ?) ?', u'\\1* -\\2', data, flags = re.MULTILINE) else: data = re.sub(u'\n{1,2} -( ?) ?', u'\n -\\1', data, flags = re.MULTILINE) data = re.sub(u'(\n?)(\n\n - \.\. row 1\n)', u'\n\\2', data, flags = re.MULTILINE) data = re.sub(u'\n - \.\. row [0-9]+\n -( ?) ?', u' * -\\1', data, flags = re.MULTILINE) data = re.sub(u'\n - \.\. row [0-9]+\n \.\.

2016-09-09[media] docs-rst: fix cross-references for videodev2.hMauro Carvalho Chehab
There are several broken references there, due to the conversion to C domain. Fix them using this shell script and manually adjust what's broken: # funcs is a file with the broken functions/references for i in $(cat funcs|sort|uniq|perl -ne 'print "$1\n" if (m/(\S+)$/)'); do i=${i//-/_} echo $i j=${i//_/-} for k in $(git grep -l "_$j:" Documentation/); do sed s,\_$j\:,"c\:type\:\: $i", <$k >a && mv a $k done for k in $(git grep -l "$j" Documentation/media/*.exceptions); do sed s,$j,":c\:type\:\`$i\`", <$k >a && mv a $k done for k in $(git grep -l "$j" Documentation/); do sed "s,:ref:\`$i <$j>\`,:c:type:\`$i\`," <$k >a && mv a $k sed "s,:ref:\`$j\`,:c:type:\`$i\`," <$k >a && mv a $k sed -E "s,:ref:\`(.*)<$j>\`,:c:type:\`\1<$i>\`," <$k >a && mv a $k done for k in $(git grep -l "<$j>" include/media); do sed -E "s,:ref:\`(.*)<$j>\`,enum \&$i," <$k >a && mv a $k done done Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>
2016-09-09[media] docs-rst: convert uAPI structs to C domainMauro Carvalho Chehab
instead of declaring the uAPI structs using usual refs, e. g.: .. _foo-struct: Use the C domain way: .. c:type:: foo_struct This way, the kAPI documentation can use cross-references to point to the uAPI symbols. That solves about ~100 undefined warnings like: WARNING: c:type reference target not found: foo_struct Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>
2016-08-22[media] docs-rst: add tabularcolumns to all tablesMauro Carvalho Chehab
LaTeX doesn't handle too well auto-width on tables, and ReST markup requires an special tag to give it the needed hints. As we're using A4 paper, we have 17cm of useful spaces. As most media tables have widths, let's use it to generate the needed via the following perl script: my ($line_size, $table_header, $has_cols) = (17.5, 0, 0); my $out; my $header = ""; my @widths = (); sub round { $_[0] > 0 ? int($_[0] + .5) : -int(-$_[0] + .5) } while (<>) { if (!$table_header) { $has_cols = 1 if (m/..\s+tabularcolumns::/); if (m/..\s+flat-table::/) { $table_header = 1; $header = $_; next; } $out .= $_; next; } $header .= $_; @widths = split(/ /, $1) if (m/:widths:\s+(.*)/); if (m/^\n$/) { if (!$has_cols && @widths) { my ($tot, $t, $i) = (0, 0, 0); foreach my $v(@widths) { $tot += $v; }; $out .= ".. tabularcolumns:: |"; for ($i = 0; $i < scalar @widths - 1; $i++) { my $v = $widths[$i]; my $w = round(10 * ($v * $line_size) / $tot) / 10; $out .= sprintf "p{%.1fcm}|", $w; $t += $w; } my $w = $line_size - $t; $out .= sprintf "p{%.1fcm}|\n\n", $w; } $out .= $header; $table_header = 0; $has_cols = 0; $header = ""; @widths = (); } } print $out; Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>
2016-07-08doc_rst: rename the media Sphinx suff to Documentation/mediaMauro Carvalho Chehab
The name of the subsystem is "media", and not "linux_tv". Also, as we plan to add other stuff there in the future, let's rename also the media uAPI book to media_uapi, to make it clearer. No functional changes. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>
