71 * one or more other #GstDebugGraphDetails flags.
72 * @file_name: output base filename (e.g. "myplayer")
74 * To aid debugging applications one can use this method to write out the whole
75 * network of gstreamer elements that form the pipeline into an dot file.
76 * This file can be processed with graphviz to get an image, like this:
77 * <informalexample><programlisting>
78 * dot -Tpng -oimage.png graph_lowlevel.dot
79 * </programlisting></informalexample>
80 * There is also a utility called xdot which allows you to view the dot file
81 * directly without converting it first.
83 * The macro is only active if gstreamer is configured with
84 * "--gst-enable-gst-debug" and the environment variable
85 * GST_DEBUG_DUMP_DOT_DIR is set to a basepath (e.g. /tmp).

96 * This works like GST_DEBUG_BIN_TO_DOT_FILE(), but adds the current timestamp
97 * to the filename, so that it can be used to take multiple snapshots.
