Hello all,

I am writing code that extracts the luminance component of an input video using 
my own custom filter in libavfilter - specifically I am extracting it from 
"PIX_FMT_YUV420P" a video and I am wondering how to go about doing so.  
According to the pixfmt.h header: 
> 
> PIX_FMT_YUV420P,   ///< planar YUV 4:2:0, 12bpp, (1 Cr & Cb sample per 2x2 Y 
> samples)

I am not sure how to interpret that.  Assuming I am doing this in my 
draw_slice() function. It has the definition of:
> 
> static void draw_slice(AVFilterLink *inlink, int y0, int h, int slice_dir)

I know I can get to the input data plane by:
> 
> AVFilterBufferRef *cur_pic = link->cur_buf;
> uint8_t *data = cur_pic->data[0];

But there are multiple "planes" in the data.  Does data[0], data[1], data[2] 
correspond to each of the Y, U, V channels?

Also, once I am able to point my pointer at the correct coordinate, how should 
I interpret the extracted result (float, int, etc)?


Thank you in advance.
