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 * An existing pad of an element can be retrieved by name with
45 * gst_element_get_static_pad(). A new dynamic pad can be created using
46 * gst_element_request_pad() with a #GstPadTemplate or
47 * gst_element_get_request_pad() with the template name such as "src_\%d".
48 * An iterator of all pads can be retrieved with gst_element_iterate_pads().
50 * Elements can be linked through their pads.
51 * If the link is straightforward, use the gst_element_link()
52 * convenience function to link two elements, or gst_element_link_many()
53 * for more elements in a row.
54 * Use gst_element_link_filtered() to link two elements constrained by
55 * a specified set of #GstCaps.
56 * For finer control, use gst_element_link_pads() and
57 * gst_element_link_pads_filtered() to specify the pads to link on
58 * each element by name.
60 * Each element has a state (see #GstState). You can get and set the state
61 * of an element with gst_element_get_state() and gst_element_set_state().
62 * Setting a state triggers a #GstStateChange. To get a string representation
63 * of a #GstState, use gst_element_state_get_name().
65 * You can get and set a #GstClock on an element using gst_element_get_clock()
66 * and gst_element_set_clock().
67 * Some elements can provide a clock for the pipeline if
68 * gst_element_provides_clock() returns %TRUE. With the
69 * gst_element_provide_clock() method one can retrieve the clock provided by
71 * Not all elements require a clock to operate correctly. If
72 * gst_element_requires_clock() returns %TRUE, a clock should be set on the
73 * element with gst_element_set_clock().
75 * Note that clock slection and distribution is normally handled by the
76 * toplevel #GstPipeline so the clock functions are only to be used in very
77 * specific situations.
