<p>The Overlay objects provide support for accessing hardware video overlays.
Video overlays do not use standard <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">RGB</span></tt> pixel formats, and can use
multiple resolutions of data to create a single image.</p>
<p>The Overlay objects represent lower level access to the display hardware. To
use the object you must understand the technical details of video overlays.</p>
<p>The Overlay format determines the type of pixel data used. Not all hardware
will support all types of overlay formats. Here is a list of available
format types:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="n">YV12_OVERLAY</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">IYUV_OVERLAY</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">YUV2_OVERLAY</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">UYVY_OVERLAY</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">YVYU_OVERLAY</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The width and height arguments control the size for the overlay image data.
The overlay image can be displayed at any size, not just the resolution of
the overlay.</p>
<p>The overlay objects are always visible, and always show above the regular
display contents.</p>

<div class="line"><span class="signature">display((y, u, v)) -&gt; None</span></div>
<div class="line"><span class="signature">display() -&gt; None</span></div>
</div>
<p>Display the yuv data in SDL&#8217;s overlay planes. The y, u, and v arguments
are strings of binary data. The data must be in the correct format used
to create the Overlay.</p>
<p>If no argument is passed in, the Overlay will simply be redrawn with the
current data. This can be useful when the Overlay is not really hardware
accelerated.</p>
<p>The strings are not validated, and improperly sized strings could crash
the program.</p>

<p>Set the location for the overlay. The overlay will always be shown

overlay, it will be updated on the next call to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Overlay.display()</span></tt>.</p>
