22 * @short_description: Structure describing sets of media formats
23 * @see_also: #GstStructure
25 * Caps (capabilities) are lighweight refcounted objects describing media types.
26 * They are composed of an array of #GstStructure.
28 * Caps are exposed on #GstPadTemplate to describe all possible types a
29 * given pad can handle. They are also stored in the #GstRegistry along with
30 * a description of the #GstElement.
32 * Caps are exposed on the element pads using the gst_pad_get_caps() pad
33 * function. This function describes the possible types that the pad can
34 * handle or produce at runtime.
36 * Caps are also attached to buffers to describe to content of the data
37 * pointed to by the buffer with gst_buffer_set_caps(). Caps attached to
38 * a #GstBuffer allow for format negotiation upstream and downstream.
40 * A #GstCaps can be constructed with the following code fragment:
43 * <title>Creating caps</title>
46 * caps = gst_caps_new_simple ("video/x-raw",
47 * "format", G_TYPE_STRING, "I420"),
48 * "framerate", GST_TYPE_FRACTION, 25, 1,
49 * "pixel-aspect-ratio", GST_TYPE_FRACTION, 1, 1,
50 * "width", G_TYPE_INT, 320,
51 * "height", G_TYPE_INT, 240,
56 * A #GstCaps is fixed when it has no properties with ranges or lists. Use
57 * gst_caps_is_fixed() to test for fixed caps. Only fixed caps can be
58 * set on a #GstPad or #GstBuffer.
60 * Various methods exist to work with the media types such as subtracting
