# CVPixelBufferIsPlanar(_:)

Determines whether the pixel buffer is planar.

## Declaration

```swift
func CVPixelBufferIsPlanar(_ pixelBuffer: CVPixelBuffer) -> Bool
```

## Parameters

- `pixelBuffer`: The pixel buffer to check.

## Return Value

Return Value true if the pixel buffer is planar; otherwise, false.

## Discussion

Discussion Planar buffers can be created using the CVPixelBufferCreateWithPlanarBytes(_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:) function.
