25 * @short_description: Abstract base class for all pipeline elements
26 * @see_also: #GstElementFactory, #GstPad
28 * GstElement is the abstract base class needed to construct an element that
29 * can be used in a GStreamer pipeline. Please refer to the plugin writers
30 * guide for more information on creating #GstElement subclasses.
32 * The name of a #GstElement can be get with gst_element_get_name() and set with
33 * gst_element_set_name(). For speed, GST_ELEMENT_NAME() can be used in the
34 * core when using the appropriate locking. Do not use this in plug-ins or
35 * applications in order to retain ABI compatibility.
37 * All elements have pads (of the type #GstPad). These pads link to pads on
38 * other elements. #GstBuffer flow between these linked pads.
39 * A #GstElement has a #GList of #GstPad structures for all their input (or sink)
40 * and output (or source) pads.
41 * Core and plug-in writers can add and remove pads with gst_element_add_pad()
42 * and gst_element_remove_pad().
44 * A pad of an element can be retrieved by name with gst_element_get_pad().
45 * An iterator of all pads can be retrieved with gst_element_iterate_pads().
47 * Elements can be linked through their pads.
48 * If the link is straightforward, use the gst_element_link()
49 * convenience function to link two elements, or gst_element_link_many()
50 * for more elements in a row.
51 * Use gst_element_link_filtered() to link two elements constrained by
52 * a specified set of #GstCaps.
53 * For finer control, use gst_element_link_pads() and
54 * gst_element_link_pads_filtered() to specify the pads to link on
55 * each element by name.
57 * Each element has a state (see #GstState). You can get and set the state
58 * of an element with gst_element_get_state() and gst_element_set_state().
59 * Setting a state triggers a #GstStateChange. To get a string representation
60 * of a #GstState, use gst_element_state_get_name().
62 * You can get and set a #GstClock on an element using gst_element_get_clock()
63 * and gst_element_set_clock().
64 * Some elements can provide a clock for the pipeline if
65 * gst_element_provides_clock() returns %TRUE. With the
66 * gst_element_provide_clock() method one can retrieve the clock provided by
68 * Not all elements require a clock to operate correctly. If
69 * gst_element_requires_clock() returns %TRUE, a clock should be set on the
70 * element with gst_element_set_clock().
72 * Note that clock slection and distribution is normally handled by the
73 * toplevel #GstPipeline so the clock functions are only to be used in very
74 * specific situations.
