§Plane

Attachment point for a Framebuffer.

A Plane is a resource that can have a framebuffer attached to it, either for hardware compositing or displaying directly to a screen. There are three types of planes available for use:

  • Primary - A CRTC’s built-in plane. When attaching a framebuffer to a CRTC, it is actually being attached to this kind of plane.

  • Overlay - Can be overlaid on top of a primary plane, utilizing extremely fast hardware compositing.

  • Cursor - Similar to an overlay plane, these are typically used to display cursor type objects.
