 <a name="gst-plugins-good-plugins-gdkpixbufsink.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
 <p>This sink element takes RGB or RGBA images as input and wraps them into
 <a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gdk-pixbufgdk-pixbuf-The-GdkPixbuf-Structure.html#GdkPixbuf-struct"><span class="type">GdkPixbuf</span></a> objects, for easy saving to file via the
 GdkPixbuf library API or displaying in Gtk+ applications (e.g. using
 the <a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gtk3GtkImage.html#GtkImage-struct"><span class="type">GtkImage</span></a> widget).</p>
 <p>There are two ways to use this element and obtain the <a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gdk-pixbufgdk-pixbuf-The-GdkPixbuf-Structure.html#GdkPixbuf-struct"><span class="type">GdkPixbuf</span></a> objects
 created:</p>
 <div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
 <li class="listitem">
 Watching for element messages named <code class="classname">"preroll-pixbuf"
 </code> or <code class="classname">"pixbuf"</code> on the bus, which
 will be posted whenever an image would usually be rendered. See below for
 more details on these messages and how to extract the pixbuf object
 contained in them.
 </li>
 <li class="listitem">
 Retrieving the current pixbuf via the <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-good-plugins-gdkpixbufsink.html#GstGdkPixbufSink--last-pixbuf" title="The “last-pixbuf” property"><span class="type">“last-pixbuf”</span></a> property
 when needed. This is the easiest way to get at pixbufs for snapshotting
 purposes - just wait until the pipeline is prerolled (ASYNC_DONE message
 on the bus), then read the property. If you use this method, you may want
 to disable message posting by setting the <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-good-plugins-gdkpixbufsink.html#GstGdkPixbufSink--post-messages" title="The “post-messages” property"><span class="type">“post-messages”</span></a>
 property to <a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/glibglib-Standard-Macros.html#FALSE:CAPS"><span class="type">FALSE</span></a>. This avoids unnecessary memory overhead.
 </li>
 </ul></div>
 <p>The primary purpose of this element is to abstract away the <a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gstreamer-1.0GstBuffer.html#GstBuffer-struct"><span class="type">GstBuffer</span></a> to
 <a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gdk-pixbufgdk-pixbuf-The-GdkPixbuf-Structure.html#GdkPixbuf-struct"><span class="type">GdkPixbuf</span></a> conversion. Other than that it's very similar to the fakesink
 element.</p>
 <p>This element is meant for easy no-hassle video snapshotting. It is not
 suitable for video playback or video display at high framerates. Use
 ximagesink, xvimagesink or some other suitable video sink in connection
 with the <span class="type">GstXOverlay</span> interface instead if you want to do video playback.</p>
 <div class="refsect2">
 <a name="id-1.2.67.7.7"></a><h3>Message details</h3>
 As mentioned above, this element will by default post element messages
 containing structures named <code class="classname">"preroll-pixbuf"
 </code> or <code class="classname">"pixbuf"</code> on the bus (this
 can be disabled by setting the <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-good-plugins-gdkpixbufsink.html#GstGdkPixbufSink--post-messages" title="The “post-messages” property"><span class="type">“post-messages”</span></a> property
 to <a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/glibglib-Standard-Macros.html#FALSE:CAPS"><span class="type">FALSE</span></a> though). The element message structure has the following fields:
 <div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
 <li class="listitem">
 <code class="classname">"pixbuf"</code>: the <a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gdk-pixbufgdk-pixbuf-The-GdkPixbuf-Structure.html#GdkPixbuf-struct"><span class="type">GdkPixbuf</span></a> object
 </li>
 <li class="listitem">
 <code class="classname">"pixel-aspect-ratio"</code>: the pixel aspect
   ratio (PAR) of the input image (this field contains a <span class="type">GstFraction</span>); the
   PAR is usually 1:1 for images, but is often something non-1:1 in the case
   of video input. In this case the image may be distorted and you may need
   to rescale it accordingly before saving it to file or displaying it. This
   can easily be done using <a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gdk-pixbufgdk-pixbuf-Scaling.html#gdk-pixbuf-scale"><code class="function">gdk_pixbuf_scale()</code></a> (the reason this is not done
   automatically is that the application will often scale the image anyway
   according to the size of the output window, in which case it is much more
   efficient to only scale once rather than twice). You can put a videoscale
   element and a capsfilter element with
   <code class="literal">video/x-raw-rgb,pixel-aspect-ratio=(fraction)1/1</code> caps
   in front of this element to make sure the pixbufs always have a 1:1 PAR.

	<p>The primary purpose of this element is to abstract away the <a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gstreamer-1.0GstBuffer.html#GstBuffer-struct"><span class="type">GstBuffer</span></a> to
	<a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gdk-pixbufgdk-pixbuf-The-GdkPixbuf-Structure.html#GdkPixbuf-struct"><span class="type">GdkPixbuf</span></a> conversion. Other than that it's very similar to the fakesink
	element.</p>
	<p>This element is meant for easy no-hassle video snapshotting. It is not
	suitable for video playback or video display at high framerates. Use
	ximagesink, xvimagesink or some other suitable video sink in connection
	with the <span class="type">GstXOverlay</span> interface instead if you want to do video playback.</p>

	As mentioned above, this element will by default post element messages
	containing structures named <code class="classname">"preroll-pixbuf"
	</code> or <code class="classname">"pixbuf"</code> on the bus (this
	can be disabled by setting the <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-good-plugins-gdkpixbufsink.html#GstGdkPixbufSink--post-messages" title="The “post-messages” property"><span class="type">“post-messages”</span></a> property
	to <a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/glibglib-Standard-Macros.html#FALSE:CAPS"><span class="type">FALSE</span></a> though). The element message structure has the following fields:
	<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
	<li class="listitem">
	<code class="classname">"pixbuf"</code>: the <a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gdk-pixbufgdk-pixbuf-The-GdkPixbuf-Structure.html#GdkPixbuf-struct"><span class="type">GdkPixbuf</span></a> object
	</li>
	<li class="listitem">
	<code class="classname">"pixel-aspect-ratio"</code>: the pixel aspect
	ratio (PAR) of the input image (this field contains a <span class="type">GstFraction</span>); the
	PAR is usually 1:1 for images, but is often something non-1:1 in the case
	of video input. In this case the image may be distorted and you may need
	to rescale it accordingly before saving it to file or displaying it. This
	can easily be done using <a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gdk-pixbufgdk-pixbuf-Scaling.html#gdk-pixbuf-scale"><code class="function">gdk_pixbuf_scale()</code></a> (the reason this is not done
	automatically is that the application will often scale the image anyway
	according to the size of the output window, in which case it is much more
	efficient to only scale once rather than twice). You can put a videoscale
	element and a capsfilter element with
	<code class="literal">video/x-raw-rgb,pixel-aspect-ratio=(fraction)1/1</code> caps
	in front of this element to make sure the pixbufs always have a 1:1 PAR.
