*****************
Luma-Only Formats
*****************

This family of formats only store the luma component of a Y'CbCr image. They
are often referred to as greyscale formats.

.. note::

   - In all the tables that follow, bit 7 is the most significant bit in a byte.
   - Formats are described with the minimum number of pixels needed to create a
     byte-aligned repeating pattern. `...` indicates repetition of the pattern.
   - Y'\ :sub:`x`\ [9:2] denotes bits 9 to 2 of the Y' value for pixel at colum
     `x`.
   - `0` denotes padding bits set to 0.

.. note::

    For the Y16 and Y16_BE formats, the actual sampling precision may be lower
    than 16 bits. For example, 10 bits per pixel uses values in the range 0 to
    1023.
