<!-- ##### SECTION Title ##### -->
GstPadTemplate
<!-- ##### SECTION Short_Description ##### -->
Describe the media type of a pad.
<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
Padtemplates describe the possible media types a pad or an elementfactory can
handle.
</para>
<para>
Pad and PadTemplates have #GstCaps attached to it to describe the media type they
are capable of dealing with. gst_pad_template_get_caps() is used to get the
caps of a padtemplate. It's not possible to modify the caps of a padtemplate after
creation.
</para>
<para>
Padtemplates can be created with gst_pad_template_new() or with the convenient
GST_PAD_TEMPLATE_FACTORY() macro. A padtemplate can be used to create a pad or
to add to an elementfactory.
</para>
<para>
The following code example shows the code to create a pad from a padtemplate.
<example>
<title>Create a pad from a padtemplate</title>
<programlisting>
GstStaticPadTemplate my_template =
GST_STATIC_PAD_TEMPLATE (
"sink", /* the name of the pad */
GST_PAD_SINK, /* the direction of the pad */
GST_PAD_ALWAYS, /* when this pad will be present */
GST_STATIC_CAPS ( /* the capabilities of the padtemplate */
"audio/x-raw-int, "
"channels = (int) [ 1, 6 ]"
)
)
void
my_method (void)
{
GstPad *pad;
pad = gst_pad_new_from_template (GST_PAD_TEMPLATE_GET (my_template_factory), "sink");
...
}
</programlisting>
</example>
</para>
<para>
The following example shows you how to add the padtemplate to an elementfactory:
<programlisting>
gboolean
my_factory_init (GstPlugin *plugin)
{
GstElementFactory *factory;
factory = gst_element_factory_new ("my_factory", GST_TYPE_MYFACTORY, &amp;gst_myfactory_details);
g_return_val_if_fail (factory != NULL, FALSE);
gst_element_factory_add_pad_template (factory, GST_PAD_TEMPLATE_GET (my_template_factory));
gst_plugin_add_feature (plugin, GST_PLUGIN_FEATURE (factory));
return TRUE;
}
</programlisting>
</para>
