* @file_name: output base filename (e.g. "myplayer")
*
* To aid debugging applications one can use this method to write out the whole
* network of gstreamer elements that form the pipeline into a dot file.
* This file can be processed with graphviz to get an image, like this:
*
* ``` shell
* dot -Tpng -oimage.png graph_lowlevel.dot
* ```
*
* There is also a utility called [xdot] which allows you to view the dot file
* directly without converting it first.
*
* The macro is only active if the environment variable `GST_DEBUG_DUMP_DOT_DIR`
* is set to a basepath (e.g. `/tmp`), and the GStreamer debugging subsystem is
* enabled (i.e., no use of `./configure --disable-gst-debug`)
