ShufflePlanes
=============

.. function::   ShufflePlanes(vnode[] clips, int[] planes, int colorfamily[ vnode prop_src=clips[0]])
   :module: std

   ShufflePlanes can extract and combine planes from different clips in the most
   general way possible.
   This is both good and bad, as there are almost no error checks.

   Most of the returned clip's properties are implicitly determined from the
   first clip given to *clips* but can also be changed by using *prop_src*.

   The *clips* parameter takes between one and three clips for color families
   with three planes. In this case clips=[A] is equivalent to clips=[A, A, A]
   and clips=[A, B] is equivalent to clips=[A, B, B]. For the GRAY color
   family, which has one plane, it takes exactly one clip.

   The argument *planes* controls which of the input clips' planes to use.
   Zero indexed. The first number refers to the first input clip, the second
   number to the second clip, the third number to the third clip.

   The only thing that needs to be specified is *colorfamily*, which controls which
   color family (YUV, RGB, GRAY) the output clip will be.
   Properties such as subsampling are determined from the relative size of the
   given planes to combine.

   ShufflePlanes accepts clips with variable format and dimensions only when
   extracting a single plane.

   Below are some examples of useful operations.

   Extract plane with index X. X=0 will mean luma in a YUV clip and R in an RGB
   clip. Likewise 1 will return the U and G channels, respectively::

      ShufflePlanes(clips=clip, planes=X, colorfamily=vs.GRAY)

   Swap U and V in a YUV clip::

      ShufflePlanes(clips=clip, planes=[0, 2, 1], colorfamily=vs.YUV)

   Merge 3 grayscale clips into a YUV clip::

      ShufflePlanes(clips=[Yclip, Uclip, Vclip], planes=[0, 0, 0], colorfamily=vs.YUV)

   Cast a YUV clip to RGB::

      ShufflePlanes(clips=[YUVclip], planes=[0, 1, 2], colorfamily=vs.RGB)
