+******************
+Planar YUV formats
+******************
+
+Planar formats split luma and chroma data in separate memory regions. They
+exist in two variants:
+
+- Semi-planar formats use two planes. The first plane is the luma plane and
+ stores the Y components. The second plane is the chroma plane and stores the
+ Cb and Cr components interleaved.
+
+- Fully planar formats use three planes to store the Y, Cb and Cr components
+ separately.
+
+Within a plane, components are stored in pixel order, which may be linear or
+tiled. Padding may be supported at the end of the lines, and the line stride of
+the chroma planes may be constrained by the line stride of the luma plane.
+
+Some planar formats allow planes to be placed in independent memory locations.
+They are identified by an 'M' suffix in their name (such as in
+``V4L2_PIX_FMT_NV12M``). Those formats are intended to be used only in drivers
+and applications that support the multi-planar API, described in
+:ref:`planar-apis`. Unless explicitly documented as supporting non-contiguous
+planes, formats require the planes to follow each other immediately in memory.
+
+
+Semi-Planar YUV Formats
+=======================
+
+These formats are commonly referred to as NV formats (NV12, NV16, ...). They
+use two planes, and store the luma components in the first plane and the chroma
+components in the second plane. The Cb and Cr components are interleaved in the
+chroma plane, with Cb and Cr always stored in pairs. The chroma order is
+exposed as different formats.
+
+For memory contiguous formats, the number of padding pixels at the end of the
+chroma lines is identical to the padding of the luma lines. Without horizontal
+subsampling, the chroma line stride (in bytes) is thus equal to twice the luma
+line stride. With horizontal subsampling by 2, the chroma line stride is equal
+to the luma line stride. Vertical subsampling doesn't affect the line stride.
+
+For non-contiguous formats, no constraints are enforced by the format on the
+relationship between the luma and chroma line padding and stride.
+
+All components are stored with the same number of bits per component.

+Fully Planar YUV Formats
+========================
+
+These formats store the Y, Cb and Cr components in three separate planes. The
+luma plane comes first, and the order of the two chroma planes varies between
+formats. The two chroma planes always use the same subsampling.
+
+For memory contiguous formats, the number of padding pixels at the end of the
+chroma lines is identical to the padding of the luma lines. The chroma line
+stride (in bytes) is thus equal to the luma line stride divided by the
+horizontal subsampling factor. Vertical subsampling doesn't affect the line
+stride.
+
+For non-contiguous formats, no constraints are enforced by the format on the
+relationship between the luma and chroma line padding and stride.
+
+All components are stored with the same number of bits per component.
