79 * one or more other #GstDebugGraphDetails flags.
80 * @file_name: output base filename (e.g. "myplayer")
81 *
82 * To aid debugging applications one can use this method to write out the whole
83 * network of gstreamer elements that form the pipeline into a dot file.
84 * This file can be processed with graphviz to get an image, like this:
85 *
86 * ``` shell
87 * dot -Tpng -oimage.png graph_lowlevel.dot
88 * ```
89 *
90 * There is also a utility called [xdot] which allows you to view the dot file
91 * directly without converting it first.
92 *
93 * The macro is only active if the environment variable `GST_DEBUG_DUMP_DOT_DIR`
94 * is set to a basepath (e.g. `/tmp`), and the GStreamer debugging subsystem is
95 * enabled (i.e., no use of `./configure --disable-gst-debug`)
