Video overlays do not use standard <tt>RGB</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> <pre> YV12_OVERLAY, IYUV_OVERLAY, YUV2_OVERLAY, UYVY_OVERLAY, YVYU_OVERLAY </pre><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> <!--COMMENTS:pygame.Overlay--> <br> <a name="Overlay.display"> <big><b>Overlay.display</big></b><br><ul> <i>set the overlay pixel data</i><br> <tt>Overlay.display((y, u, v)): return None</tt><br> <tt>Overlay.display(): return None</tt><br> <p>Display the yuv data in SDL's overlay planes.

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> <!--COMMENTS:Overlay.display--> <br> <br></ul> <a name="Overlay.set_location"> <big><b>Overlay.set_location</big></b><br><ul> <i>control where the overlay is displayed</i><br> <tt>Overlay.set_location(rect): return None</tt><br> <p>Set the location for the overlay.
