/**

 * \brief Video stream for a Camera
 *
 * A camera device can provide frames in different resolutions and formats
 * concurrently from a single image source. The Stream class represents
 * one of the multiple concurrent streams.
 *
 * All streams exposed by a camera device share the same image source and are
 * thus not fully independent. Parameters related to the image source, such as
 * the exposure time or flash control, are common to all streams. Other
 * parameters, such as format or resolution, may be specified per-stream,
 * depending on the capabilities of the camera device.
 *
 * Camera devices expose at least one stream, and may expose additional streams
 * based on the device capabilities. This can be used, for instance, to
 * implement concurrent viewfinder and video capture, or concurrent viewfinder,
 * video capture and still image capture.

/**
 * \class StreamFormats
 * \brief Hold information about supported stream formats
 *
 * The StreamFormats class holds information about the pixel formats and frame
 * sizes a stream supports. The class groups size information by the pixel
 * format which can produce it.
 *
 * There are two ways to examine the size information, as a range or as a list
 * of discrete sizes. When sizes are viewed as a range it describes the minimum
 * and maximum width and height values. The range description can include
 * horizontal and vertical steps.
 *
 * When sizes are viewed as a list of discrete sizes they describe the exact
 * dimensions which can be selected and used.
 *
 * Pipeline handlers can create StreamFormats describing each pixel format using
 * either a range or a list of discrete sizes. The StreamFormats class attempts
 * to translate between the two different ways to view them. The translations
 * are performed as:
 *
 *  - If the StreamFormat is constructed using a list of discrete image sizes
 *    and a range is requested, it gets created by taking the minimum and
 *    maximum width/height in the list. The step information is not recreated
 *    and is set to 0 to indicate the range is generated.
 *
 *  - If the image sizes used to construct a StreamFormat are expressed as a
 *    range and a list of discrete sizes is requested, one which fits inside
 *    that range are selected from a list of common sizes. The step information
 *    is taken into consideration when generating the sizes.
 *
 * Applications examining sizes as a range with step values of 0 shall be
 * aware that the range are generated from a list of discrete sizes and there
 * could be a large number of possible Size combinations that may not be
 * supported by the Stream.
 *
 * All sizes retrieved from StreamFormats shall be treated as advisory and no
 * size shall be considered to be supported until it has been verified using
 * CameraConfiguration::validate().
 *
 * \todo Review the usage patterns of this class, and cache the computed
 * pixelformats(), sizes() and range() if this would improve performances.
