+``kmstest`` utility can be used to demonstrate cropping in a video frame using a test pattern.
+User can specify the video frame size ``w x h`` with an input color format ``cf`` using option ``-f``, then to specify the source rectangle i.e. to create cropped portion of video frame, it can be done using ``-v`` argument which specify ``w1 x h1`` source rectangle starting at coordinates ``x1,y1`` w.r.t the video frame. The destination rectangle i.e. on the screen where this needs to be displayed can be specified using ``-p`` option with the desired dimensions i.e. ``w2 x h2`` to be displayed starting at coordinates ``x2,y2``.
