## Detailed Description

The shared `libtheoradec` and `libtheoraenc` C API.

You don't need to include this directly.

## Define Documentation

#define _O_THEORA_CODEC_H_ (1)

#define TH_DUPFRAME (1)

The decoded packet represented a dropped frame.

The player can continue to display the current frame, as the contents of the decoded frame buffer have not changed.

#define TH_EBADHEADER (-20)

The contents of the header were incomplete, invalid, or unexpected.

#define TH_EBADPACKET (-24)

There were errors in the video data packet.

#define TH_EFAULT (-1)

An invalid pointer was provided.

#define TH_EIMPL (-23)

The specified function is not implemented.

#define TH_EINVAL (-10)

An invalid argument was provided.

#define TH_ENOTFORMAT (-21)

The header does not belong to a Theora stream.

#define TH_EVERSION (-22)

The bitstream version is too high.

#define TH_NDCT_TOKENS (32)

The number of DCT token values in each table.

#define TH_NHUFFMAN_TABLES (80)

The number of Huffman tables used by Theora.

## Typedef Documentation

typedef unsigned char th_quant_base[64]

A single base matrix.

typedef th_img_plane th_ycbcr_buffer[3]

A complete image buffer for an uncompressed frame.

The chroma planes may be decimated by a factor of two in either direction, as indicated by th_info::pixel_fmt. The width and height of the Y' plane must be multiples of 16. They may need to be cropped for display, using the rectangle specified by th_info::pic_x, th_info::pic_y, th_info::pic_width, and th_info::pic_height. All samples are 8 bits.

Note:
  The term YUV often used to describe a colorspace is ambiguous. The exact parameters of the RGB to YUV conversion process aside, in many contexts the U and V channels actually have opposite meanings. To avoid this confusion, we are explicit: the name of the color channels are Y'CbCr, and they appear in that order, always. The prime symbol denotes that the Y channel is non-linear. Cb and Cr stand for "Chroma blue" and "Chroma red", respectively.

## Enumeration Type Documentation

enum th_colorspace

The currently defined color space tags.

See the Theora specification, Chapter 4, for exact details on the meaning of each of these color spaces.

Enumerator:

  TH_CS_UNSPECIFIED | The color space was not specified at the encoder. It may be conveyed by an external means.
  TH_CS_ITU_REC_470M | A color space designed for NTSC content.
  TH_CS_ITU_REC_470BG | A color space designed for PAL/SECAM content.
  TH_CS_NSPACES | The total number of currently defined color spaces.

enum th_pixel_fmt

The currently defined pixel format tags.

See the Theora specification, Section 4.4, for details on the precise sample locations.

Enumerator:

  TH_PF_420 | Chroma decimation by 2 in both the X and Y directions (4:2:0). The Cb and Cr chroma planes are half the width and half the height of the luma plane.
  TH_PF_RSVD | Currently reserved.
  TH_PF_422 | Chroma decimation by 2 in the X direction (4:2:2). The Cb and Cr chroma planes are half the width of the luma plane, but full height.
  TH_PF_444 | No chroma decimation (4:4:4). The Cb and Cr chroma planes are full width and full height.
  TH_PF_NFORMATS | The total number of currently defined pixel formats.
