// This example demonstrates how to overlay a video using the cairo
// library. For this, the cairooverlay element is used on a video stream.
// Additionally, this example uses functionality of the pango library, which handles
// text layouting. The pangocairo crate is a nice wrapper combining both libraries
// into a nice interface.
// The drawing surface which the cairooverlay element creates internally can then
// normally be drawn on using the cairo library.
// The operated pipeline looks like this:

// {videotestsrc} - {cairooverlay} - {capsfilter} - {videoconvert} - {autovideosink}
// The capsfilter element allows us to dictate the video resolution we want for the
// videotestsrc and the cairooverlay element.
