## Description

A baseclass for scopes (visualizers). It takes care of re-fitting the audio-rate to video-rate and handles renegotiation (downstream video size changes).

It also provides several background shading effects. These effects are applied to a previous picture before the `render()` implementation can draw a new frame.

## Functions

### GstAudioVisualizerShaderFunc ()

    void
    (*GstAudioVisualizerShaderFunc) (GstAudioVisualizer *scope,
                                     const GstVideoFrame *s,
                                     GstVideoFrame *d);

## Types and Values

### struct GstAudioVisualizer

    struct GstAudioVisualizer;

### struct GstAudioVisualizerClass

    struct GstAudioVisualizerClass {
      /* virtual function, called whenever the format changes */
      gboolean (*setup) (GstAudioVisualizer * scope);

      /* virtual function for rendering a frame */
      gboolean (*render) (GstAudioVisualizer * scope, GstBuffer * audio, GstVideoFrame * video);

      gboolean (*decide_allocation)   (GstAudioVisualizer * scope, GstQuery *query);
    };

### enum GstAudioVisualizerShader

Different types of supported background shading functions.
