The source format should describe the format that's the output of the subdev. In this case that'd be statistics, so I don't think using source format as the parent for the statistics window would be meaningful. I wouldn't define the parent rectangle (or format) yet. The selection API may well be useful in configuring statistics generation, and we may well use it for that. However we have no implementation on that yet (not even an implementation that would use a video node to provide statistics to the user space), so we shouldn't define something that we don't strictly need and that also may make life difficult in future. So I propose to leave this undefined for the time being. -- Kind regards, Sakari Ailus e-mail: sakari.ai...@iki.fi XMPP: sai...@retiisi.org.uk -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
