Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class.
Creates a new #GstCaps that is empty. That is, the returned #GstCaps contains no media formats. The #GstCaps is guaranteed to be writable. Caller is responsible for unreffing the returned caps.
Creates a new #GstCaps that contains one #GstStructure with name @media_type. Caller is responsible for unreffing the returned caps.
Creates a new #GstCaps and adds all the structures listed as arguments. The list must be %NULL-terminated. The structures are not copied; the returned #GstCaps owns the structures.
Appends the structures contained in @caps2 to @caps1. The structures in @caps2 are not copied -- they are transferred to @caps1, and then @caps2 is freed. If either caps is ANY, the resulting caps will be ANY.
Appends @structure to @caps. The structure is not copied; @caps becomes the owner of @structure.
Appends @structure with @features to @caps. The structure is not copied; @caps becomes the owner of @structure.
Tries intersecting @caps1 and @caps2 and reports whether the result would not be empty
Creates a new #GstCaps and appends a copy of the nth structure contained in @caps.
Modifies the given @caps into a representation with only fixed values. First the caps will be truncated and then the first structure will be fixated with gst_structure_fixate().
Get the main Gtk struct
Finds the features in @caps that has the index @index, and returns it.
Gets the number of structures contained in @caps.
the main Gtk struct as a void*
Finds the structure in @caps that has the index @index, and returns it.
Creates a new #GstCaps that contains all the formats that are common to both @caps1 and @caps2. Defaults to %GST_CAPS_INTERSECT_ZIG_ZAG mode.
Creates a new #GstCaps that contains all the formats that are common to both @caps1 and @caps2, the order is defined by the #GstCapsIntersectMode used.
A given #GstCaps structure is always compatible with another if every media format that is in the first is also contained in the second. That is, @caps1 is a subset of @caps2.
Determines if @caps represents any media format.
Determines if @caps represents no media formats.
Checks if the given caps represent the same set of caps.
Tests if two #GstCaps are equal. This function only works on fixed #GstCaps.
Fixed #GstCaps describe exactly one format, that is, they have exactly one structure, and each field in the structure describes a fixed type. Examples of non-fixed types are GST_TYPE_INT_RANGE and GST_TYPE_LIST.
Checks if the given caps are exactly the same set of caps.
Checks if all caps represented by @subset are also represented by @superset.
Checks if @structure is a subset of @caps. See gst_caps_is_subset() for more information.
Checks if @structure is a subset of @caps. See gst_caps_is_subset() for more information.
Appends the structures contained in @caps2 to @caps1 if they are not yet expressed by @caps1. The structures in @caps2 are not copied -- they are transferred to a writable copy of @caps1, and then @caps2 is freed. If either caps is ANY, the resulting caps will be ANY.
Appends @structure to @caps if its not already expressed by @caps.
Appends @structure with @features to @caps if its not already expressed by @caps.
Returns a #GstCaps that represents the same set of formats as @caps, but contains no lists. Each list is expanded into separate @GstStructures.
removes the structure with the given index from the list of structures contained in @caps.
Sets the #GstCapsFeatures @features for the structure at @index.
Sets fields in a #GstCaps. The arguments must be passed in the same manner as gst_structure_set(), and be %NULL-terminated.
Sets the given @field on all structures of @caps to the given @value. This is a convenience function for calling gst_structure_set_value() on all structures of @caps.
Converts the given @caps into a representation that represents the same set of formats, but in a simpler form. Component structures that are identical are merged. Component structures that have values that can be merged are also merged.
Retrieves the structure with the given index from the list of structures contained in @caps. The caller becomes the owner of the returned structure.
Subtracts the @subtrahend from the @minuend. <note>This function does not work reliably if optional properties for caps are included on one caps and omitted on the other.</note>
Converts @caps to a string representation. This string representation can be converted back to a #GstCaps by gst_caps_from_string().
Discard all but the first structure from @caps. Useful when fixating.
Converts @caps from a string representation.
Creates a new GstCaps that indicates that it is compatible with any media format.
the main Gtk struct
Caps (capabilities) are lightweight refcounted objects describing media types. They are composed of an array of #GstStructure.
Caps are exposed on #GstPadTemplate to describe all possible types a given pad can handle. They are also stored in the #GstRegistry along with a description of the #GstElement.
Caps are exposed on the element pads using the gst_pad_query_caps() pad function. This function describes the possible types that the pad can handle or produce at runtime.
A #GstCaps can be constructed with the following code fragment: |[ GstCaps *caps = gst_caps_new_simple ("video/x-raw", "format", G_TYPE_STRING, "I420", "framerate", GST_TYPE_FRACTION, 25, 1, "pixel-aspect-ratio", GST_TYPE_FRACTION, 1, 1, "width", G_TYPE_INT, 320, "height", G_TYPE_INT, 240, NULL); ]|
A #GstCaps is fixed when it has no properties with ranges or lists. Use gst_caps_is_fixed() to test for fixed caps. Fixed caps can be used in a caps event to notify downstream elements of the current media type.
Various methods exist to work with the media types such as subtracting or intersecting.
Be aware that the current #GstCaps / #GstStructure serialization into string has limited support for nested #GstCaps / #GstStructure fields. It can only support one level of nesting. Using more levels will lead to unexpected behavior when using serialization features, such as gst_caps_to_string() or gst_value_serialize() and their counterparts.
