24 * SECTION:gstpadtemplate
25 * @title: GstPadTemplate
26 * @short_description: Describe the media type of a pad.
27 * @see_also: #GstPad, #GstElementFactory
29 * Padtemplates describe the possible media types a pad or an elementfactory can
30 * handle. This allows for both inspection of handled types before loading the
31 * element plugin as well as identifying pads on elements that are not yet
32 * created (request or sometimes pads).
34 * Pad and PadTemplates have #GstCaps attached to it to describe the media type
35 * they are capable of dealing with. gst_pad_template_get_caps() or
36 * GST_PAD_TEMPLATE_CAPS() are used to get the caps of a padtemplate. It's not
37 * possible to modify the caps of a padtemplate after creation.
39 * PadTemplates have a #GstPadPresence property which identifies the lifetime
40 * of the pad and that can be retrieved with GST_PAD_TEMPLATE_PRESENCE(). Also
41 * the direction of the pad can be retrieved from the #GstPadTemplate with
42 * GST_PAD_TEMPLATE_DIRECTION().
44 * The GST_PAD_TEMPLATE_NAME_TEMPLATE () is important for GST_PAD_REQUEST pads
45 * because it has to be used as the name in the gst_element_get_request_pad()
46 * call to instantiate a pad from this template.
48 * Padtemplates can be created with gst_pad_template_new() or with
49 * gst_static_pad_template_get (), which creates a #GstPadTemplate from a
50 * #GstStaticPadTemplate that can be filled with the
51 * convenient GST_STATIC_PAD_TEMPLATE() macro.
53 * A padtemplate can be used to create a pad (see gst_pad_new_from_template()
54 * or gst_pad_new_from_static_template ()) or to add to an element class
55 * (see gst_element_class_add_static_pad_template ()).
57 * The following code example shows the code to create a pad from a padtemplate.
58 * |[<!-- language="C" -->
59 * GstStaticPadTemplate my_template =
60 * GST_STATIC_PAD_TEMPLATE (
61 * "sink", // the name of the pad
62 * GST_PAD_SINK, // the direction of the pad
63 * GST_PAD_ALWAYS, // when this pad will be present
64 * GST_STATIC_CAPS ( // the capabilities of the padtemplate
66 * "channels = (int) [ 1, 6 ]"
73 * pad = gst_pad_new_from_static_template (&my_template, "sink");
78 * The following example shows you how to add the padtemplate to an
79 * element class, this is usually done in the class_init of the class:
80 * |[<!-- language="C" -->
82 * my_element_class_init (GstMyElementClass *klass)
84 * GstElementClass *gstelement_class = GST_ELEMENT_CLASS (klass);
86 * gst_element_class_add_static_pad_template (gstelement_class, &my_template);
