+@chapter Scaler Options
+@c man begin SCALER OPTIONS
+
+The video scaler supports the following named options.
+
+Options may be set by specifying -@var{option} @var{value} in the
+FFmpeg tools. For programmatic use, they can be set explicitly in the
+@code{SwsContext} options or through the @file{libavutil/opt.h} API.
+
+@table @option
+
+@anchor{sws_flags}
+@item sws_flags
+Set the scaler flags. This is also used to set the scaling
+algorithm. Only a single algorithm should be selected.
+
+It accepts the following values:
+@table @samp
+@item fast_bilinear
+Select fast bilinear scaling algorithm.
+
+@item bilinear
+Select bilinear scaling algorithm.
+
+@item bicubic
+Select bicubic scaling algorithm.
+
+@item experimental
+Select experimental scaling algorithm.
+
+@item neighbor
+Select nearest neighbor rescaling algorithm.
+
+@item area
+Select averaging area rescaling algorithm.
+
+@item bicublin
+Select bicubic scaling algorithm for the luma component, bilinear for
+chroma components.
+
+@item gauss
+Select Gaussian rescaling algorithm.
+
+@item sinc
+Select sinc rescaling algorithm.
+
+@item lanczos
+Select Lanczos rescaling algorithm.
+
+@item spline
+Select natural bicubic spline rescaling algorithm.
+
+@item print_info
+Enable printing/debug logging.
+
+@item accurate_rnd
+Enable accurate rounding.
+
+@item full_chroma_int
+Enable full chroma interpolation.
+
+@item full_chroma_inp
+Select full chroma input.
+
+@item bitexact
+Enable bitexact output.
+@end table
+
+@item srcw
+Set source width.
+
+@item srch
+Set source height.
+
+@item dstw
+Set destination width.
+
+@item dsth
+Set destination height.
+
+@item src_format
+Set source pixel format (must be expressed as an integer).
+
+@item dst_format
+Set destination pixel format (must be expressed as an integer).
+
+@item src_range
+Select source range.
+
+@item dst_range
+Select destination range.
+
+@anchor{sws_params}
+@item param0, param1
+Set scaling algorithm parameters. The specified values are specific of
+some scaling algorithms and ignored by others. The specified values
+are floating point number values.
+
+@item sws_dither
+Set the dithering algorithm. Accepts one of the following
+values. Default value is @samp{auto}.
+
+@table @samp
+@item auto
+automatic choice
+
+@item none
+no dithering
+
+@item bayer
+bayer dither
+
+@item ed
+error diffusion dither
+
+@item a_dither
+arithmetic dither, based using addition
+
+@item x_dither
+arithmetic dither, based using xor (more random/less apparent patterning that
+a_dither).
+
+@end table
+
+@item alphablend
+Set the alpha blending to use when the input has alpha but the output does not.
+Default value is @samp{none}.
+
+@table @samp
+@item uniform_color
+Blend onto a uniform background color
+
+@item checkerboard
+Blend onto a checkerboard
+
+@item none
+No blending
+
+@end table
