 *
 * $Log: videoio.h,v $
 * Revision 1.43  2005/11/25 03:43:47  csoutheren
 * Fixed function argument comments to be compatible with Doxygen
 *
 * Revision 1.42  2005/08/09 09:08:09  rjongbloed

 *
 * Revision 1.41.4.1  2005/07/17 09:27:04  rjongbloed
 * Major revisions of the PWLib video subsystem including:
 *   removal of F suffix on colour formats for vertical flipping, all done with existing bool
 *   working through use of RGB and BGR formats so now consistent
 *   cleaning up the plug in system to use virtuals instead of pointers to functions.
 *   rewrite of SDL to be a plug in compatible video output device.
 *   extensive enhancement of video test program
 *
 * Revision 1.41  2005/01/04 07:44:03  csoutheren
 * More changes to implement the new configuration methodology, and also to
 * attack the global static problem
 *
 * Revision 1.40  2004/04/18 12:49:22  csoutheren

 * Removed extraneous static function for getting input device names that has been deprecated during the plug ins addition.
 *
 * Revision 1.37  2003/12/14 10:01:02  rjongbloed
 * Resolved issue with name space conflict os static and virtual forms of GetDeviceNames() function.
 *
 * Revision 1.36  2003/12/03 03:47:56  dereksmithies
