to create a .png image if you google the DEBUG_BIN_TO_DOT_FILE you will get exact instructions. It requires that you build your pipeline by coding it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I’ve been trying to find the tool as used on the gstreamer docs, to visualize pipeline setups. For example see [1] and [2]. I want to use such diagrams in my thesis and I think it would be great if my diagrams would have
the same looks as the ones on the official website.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I’ve tried searching the web, but I could only find a tool to create a more detailed diagram, see [3]. That tool is great, but for this goal it creates too detailed images to be used as mere visualizations.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The diagrams I want could probably be created using a generic tool, but as there are millions of tools and webapps for creating diagrams, I couldn’t find the correct one (or the correct settings).
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">If there is anyone who happens to know which tool is used or could even provide a pointer to it, I’m glad to hear.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Thanks for your time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
