 @chapter Description
 @c man begin DESCRIPTION
 
 The libswscale library performs highly optimized image scaling and
 colorspace and pixel format conversion operations.
 
 Specifically, this library performs the following conversions:
 
 @itemize
 @item
 @emph{Rescaling}: is the process of changing the video size. Several
 rescaling options and algorithms are available. This is usually a
 lossy process.
 
 @item
 @emph{Pixel format conversion}: is the process of converting the image
 format and colorspace of the image, for example from planar YUV420P to
 RGB24 packed. It also handles packing conversion, that is converts
 from packed layout (all pixels belonging to distinct planes
 interleaved in the same buffer), to planar layout (all samples
 belonging to the same plane stored in a dedicated buffer or "plane").
 
 This is usually a lossy process in case the source and destination
 colorspaces differ.
