Object Hierarchy

Includes

#include <gdk/gdkwayland.h>

Description

GdkMonitor objects represent the individual outputs that are associated with a GdkDisplay. GdkDisplay has APIs to enumerate monitors with gdk_display_get_n_monitors() and gdk_display_get_monitor(), and to find particular monitors with gdk_display_get_primary_monitor() or gdk_display_get_monitor_at_window().

GdkMonitor was introduced in GTK+ 3.22 and supersedes earlier APIs in GdkScreen to obtain monitor-related information.

Functions

gdk_monitor_get_display ()

GdkDisplay *
gdk_monitor_get_display (GdkMonitor *monitor);

Gets the display that this monitor belongs to.

Parameters

monitor

a GdkMonitor

 

Returns

the display.

[transfer none]

Since: 3.22


gdk_monitor_get_geometry ()

void
gdk_monitor_get_geometry (GdkMonitor *monitor,
                          GdkRectangle *geometry);

Retrieves the size and position of an individual monitor within the display coordinate space. The returned geometry is in ”application pixels”, not in ”device pixels” (see gdk_monitor_get_scale_factor()).

Parameters

monitor

a GdkMonitor

 

geometry

a GdkRectangle to be filled with the monitor geometry.

[out]

Since: 3.22


gdk_monitor_get_workarea ()

void
gdk_monitor_get_workarea (GdkMonitor *monitor,
                          GdkRectangle *workarea);

Retrieves the size and position of the “work area” on a monitor within the display coordinate space. The returned geometry is in ”application pixels”, not in ”device pixels” (see gdk_monitor_get_scale_factor()).

The work area should be considered when positioning menus and similar popups, to avoid placing them below panels, docks or other desktop components.

Note that not all backends may have a concept of workarea. This function will return the monitor geometry if a workarea is not available, or does not apply.

Parameters

monitor

a GdkMonitor

 

workarea

a GdkRectangle to be filled with the monitor workarea.

[out]

Since: 3.22


gdk_monitor_get_width_mm ()

int
gdk_monitor_get_width_mm (GdkMonitor *monitor);

Gets the width in millimeters of the monitor.

Parameters

monitor

a GdkMonitor

 

Returns

the physical width of the monitor

Since: 3.22


gdk_monitor_get_height_mm ()

int
gdk_monitor_get_height_mm (GdkMonitor *monitor);

Gets the height in millimeters of the monitor.

Parameters

monitor

a GdkMonitor

 

Returns

the physical height of the monitor

Since: 3.22


gdk_monitor_get_manufacturer ()

const char *
gdk_monitor_get_manufacturer (GdkMonitor *monitor);

Gets the name or PNP ID of the monitor's manufacturer, if available.

Note that this value might also vary depending on actual display backend.

PNP ID registry is located at https://uefi.org/pnp_id_list

Parameters

monitor

a GdkMonitor

 

Returns

the name of the manufacturer, or NULL.

[transfer none][nullable]


gdk_monitor_get_model ()

const char *
gdk_monitor_get_model (GdkMonitor *monitor);

Gets the a string identifying the monitor model, if available.

Parameters

monitor

a GdkMonitor

 

Returns

the monitor model, or NULL.

[transfer none][nullable]


gdk_monitor_get_scale_factor ()

int
gdk_monitor_get_scale_factor (GdkMonitor *monitor);

Gets the internal scale factor that maps from monitor coordinates to the actual device pixels. On traditional systems this is 1, but on very high density outputs this can be a higher value (often 2).

This can be used if you want to create pixel based data for a particular monitor, but most of the time you’re drawing to a window where it is better to use gdk_window_get_scale_factor() instead.

Parameters

monitor

a GdkMonitor

 

Returns

the scale factor

Since: 3.22


gdk_monitor_get_refresh_rate ()

int
gdk_monitor_get_refresh_rate (GdkMonitor *monitor);

Gets the refresh rate of the monitor, if available.

The value is in milli-Hertz, so a refresh rate of 60Hz is returned as 60000.

Parameters

monitor

a GdkMonitor

 

Returns

the refresh rate in milli-Hertz, or 0

Since: 3.22


gdk_monitor_get_subpixel_layout ()

GdkSubpixelLayout
gdk_monitor_get_subpixel_layout (GdkMonitor *monitor);

Gets information about the layout of red, green and blue primaries for each pixel in this monitor, if available.

Parameters

monitor

a GdkMonitor

 

Returns

the subpixel layout

Since: 3.22


gdk_monitor_is_primary ()

gboolean
gdk_monitor_is_primary (GdkMonitor *monitor);

Gets whether this monitor should be considered primary (see gdk_display_get_primary_monitor()).

Parameters

monitor

a GdkMonitor

 

Returns

TRUE if monitor is primary

Since: 3.22

Types and Values

GdkMonitor

typedef struct _GdkMonitor GdkMonitor;

enum GdkSubpixelLayout

This enumeration describes how the red, green and blue components of physical pixels on an output device are laid out.

Members

GDK_SUBPIXEL_LAYOUT_UNKNOWN

The layout is not known

 

GDK_SUBPIXEL_LAYOUT_NONE

Not organized in this way

 

GDK_SUBPIXEL_LAYOUT_HORIZONTAL_RGB

The layout is horizontal, the order is RGB

 

GDK_SUBPIXEL_LAYOUT_HORIZONTAL_BGR

The layout is horizontal, the order is BGR

 

GDK_SUBPIXEL_LAYOUT_VERTICAL_RGB

The layout is vertical, the order is RGB

 

GDK_SUBPIXEL_LAYOUT_VERTICAL_BGR

The layout is vertical, the order is BGR

 

Since: 3.22
