## Description

## Functions

### gegl_node_new ()

    GeglNode *
    gegl_node_new (void);

Create a new graph that can contain further processing nodes.

#### Returns

A new top level GeglNode (which can be used as a graph). When you are done using this graph instance it should be unreferenced with g_object_unref. This will also free any sub nodes created from this node.

[transfer full]

### gegl_node_new_child ()

    GeglNode *
    gegl_node_new_child (GeglNode *parent,
                         const gchar *first_property_name,
                         ...);

Creates a new processing node that performs the specified operation with a NULL terminated list of key/value pairs for initial parameter values configuring the operation. Usually the first pair should be "operation" and the type of operation to be associated. If no operation is provided the node doesn't have an initial operation and can be used to construct a subgraph with special middle-man routing nodes created with gegl_node_get_output_proxy and gegl_node_get_input_proxy.

#### Parameters

parent | a GeglNode |
first_property_name | the first property name |
... | first property value, optionally followed by more key/value pairs, terminated with NULL. |

#### Returns

A newly created GeglNode. The node will be destroyed by the parent. Calling g_object_unref on a node will cause the node to be dropped by the parent. (You may also add additional references using g_object_ref/g_object_unref, but in general relying on the parents reference counting is easiest.).

This function wraps the usage of a GeglProcessor in a single blocking function call. If you need a non-blocking operation, then make a direct use of gegl_processor_work. See GeglProcessor.

Returns a freshly allocated \0 terminated string containing a XML serialization of the composition produced by a node (and thus also the nodes contributing data to the specified node). To export a gegl graph, connect the internal output node to an output proxy (see gegl_node_get_output_proxy.) and use the proxy node as the basis for the serialization.

#### Parameters

node | a GeglNode |
path_root | filesystem path to construct relative paths from. |

### gegl_node_to_xml_full ()
