27 * @short_description: Create GstElements from a factory
28 * @see_also: #GstElement, #GstPlugin, #GstPluginFeature, #GstPadTemplate.
29 *
30 * #GstElementFactory is used to create instances of elements. A
31 * GstElementFactory can be added to a #GstPlugin as it is also a
32 * #GstPluginFeature.
33 *
34 * Use the gst_element_factory_find() and gst_element_factory_create()
35 * functions to create element instances or use gst_element_factory_make() as a
36 * convenient shortcut.
37 *
38 * The following code example shows you how to create a GstFileSrc element.
39 *
40 * ## Using an element factory
