 * OSD Menu
 **********************************************************************/
/**
 * \defgroup osdmenu OSD Menu
 * The OSD menu core creates the OSD menu structure in memory. It parses a
 * configuration file that defines all elements that are part of the menu. The
 * core also handles all actions and menu structure updates on behalf of video
 * subpicture filters.
 *
 * The file modules/video_filters/osdmenu.c implements a subpicture filter that
 * specifies the final information on positioning of the current state image.
 * A subpicture filter is called each time a video picture has to be rendered,
 * it also gives a start and end date to the subpicture. The subpicture can be
 * streamed if used inside a transcoding command. For example:
 *
 *  vlc dvdsimple:///dev/dvd --extraintf rc
 *  --sout='#transcode{osd}:std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=dest_ipaddr}'
 *  --osdmenu-file=share/osdmenu/dvd.cfg
 *
 * An example for local usage of the OSD menu is:
 *
 *  vlc dvdsimple:///dev/dvd --extraintf rc
 *  --sub-filter osdmenu
 *  --osdmenu-file=share/osdmenu/dvd.cfg
 *
 * Each OSD menu element, called "action", defines a hotkey action. Each action
 * can have several states (unselect, select, pressed). Each state has an image
 * that represents the state visually. The commands "menu right", "menu left",
 * "menu up" and "menu down" are used to navigate through the OSD menu structure.
 * The commands "menu on" or "menu show" and "menu off" or "menu hide" respectively
 * show and hide the OSD menu subpictures.
 *
 * There is one special element called "range". A range is an arbritary range
 * of state images that can be browsed using "menu up" and "menu down" commands
 * on the rc interface.
 *
 * The OSD menu configuration file uses a very simple syntax and basic parser.
 * A configuration file has the ".cfg".
 * An example is "share/osdmenu/dvd256.cfg".
 * @{
