Description

The Navigation interface is used for creating and injecting navigation related events such as mouse button presses, cursor motion and key presses. The associated library also provides methods for parsing received events, and for sending and receiving navigation related bus events. One main usecase is DVD menu navigation.

The main parts of the API are:

  • The GstNavigation interface, implemented by elements which provide an application with the ability to create and inject navigation events into the pipeline.

  • GstNavigation event handling API. GstNavigation events are created in response to calls on a GstNavigation interface implementation, and sent in the pipeline. Upstream elements can use the navigation event API functions to parse the contents of received messages.

  • GstNavigation message handling API. GstNavigation messages may be sent on the message bus to inform applications of navigation related changes in the pipeline, such as the mouse moving over a clickable region, or the set of available angles changing.

    The GstNavigation message functions provide functions for creating and parsing custom bus messages for signalling GstNavigation changes.
