It's not clear what you mean by "requires that the pitch alignment is exactly the number in the definition", since a pitch which is aligned to 256 bytes is also aligned to 128 & 64 bytes. Do you mean the pitch must be exactly the width rounded up to the next / smallest possible multiple of the specified number of bytes?<br></blockquote><div><br></div>The pitch must be width*Bpp aligned to the number of bytes in the definition.</div><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container">Marek<br></div></div>
