// Base class for frame buffers of different types of pixel format and storage.
// The tag in type() indicates how the data is represented, and each type is
// implemented as a subclass. To access the pixel data, call the appropriate
// GetXXX() function, where XXX represents the type. There is also a function
// ToI420() that returns a frame buffer in I420 format, converting from the
// underlying representation if necessary. I420 is the most widely accepted
// format and serves as a fallback for video sinks that can only handle I420,
// e.g. the internal WebRTC software encoders. A special enum value 'kNative' is
// provided for external clients to implement their own frame buffer
// representations, e.g. as textures. The external client can produce such
// native frame buffers from custom video sources, and then cast it back to the
// correct subclass in custom video sinks. The purpose of this is to improve
// performance by providing an optimized path without intermediate conversions.
// Frame metadata such as rotation and timestamp are stored in
// webrtc::VideoFrame, and not here.
