Detailed Description

Object representing an output.

Gdk::Monitor objects represent the individual outputs that are associated with a Gdk::Display. Display has APIs to enumerate monitors with Display::get_n_monitors() and Display::get_monitor() and to find particular monitors with Display::get_monitor_at_surface().

Since gtkmm 3.22:

Member Function Documentation

◆ get_connector()

Glib::ustring Gdk::Monitor::get_connector ( ) const

Gets the name of the monitor's connector, if available.

These are strings such as "eDP-1", or "HDMI-2". They depend on software and hardware configuration, and should not be relied on as stable identifiers of a specific monitor.

Returns
The name of the connector.

◆ get_description()

Glib::ustring Gdk::Monitor::get_description ( ) const

Gets a string describing the monitor, if available.

This can be used to identify a monitor in the UI.

Since gtkmm 4.10:
Returns
The monitor description.

◆ get_display() [1/2]

Glib::RefPtr< Display > Gdk::Monitor::get_display ( )

Gets the display that this monitor belongs to.

Returns
The display.

◆ get_display() [2/2]

Glib::RefPtr< const Display > Gdk::Monitor::get_display ( ) const

Gets the display that this monitor belongs to.

Returns
The display.

◆ get_geometry()

void Gdk::Monitor::get_geometry ( Rectangle geometry) const

Retrieves the size and position of the monitor within the display coordinate space.

The returned geometry is in ”application pixels”, not in ”device pixels” (see get_scale()).

Parameters
geometryA Gdk::Rectangle to be filled with the monitor geometry.

◆ get_height_mm()

int Gdk::Monitor::get_height_mm ( ) const

Gets the height in millimeters of the monitor.

Returns
The physical height of the monitor.

◆ get_manufacturer()

Glib::ustring Gdk::Monitor::get_manufacturer ( ) const

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

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

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

Returns
The name of the manufacturer.

◆ get_model()

Glib::ustring Gdk::Monitor::get_model ( ) const

Gets the string identifying the monitor model, if available.

Returns
The monitor model.

◆ get_refresh_rate()

int Gdk::Monitor::get_refresh_rate ( ) const

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.

Returns
The refresh rate in milli-Hertz, or 0.

◆ get_scale()

double Gdk::Monitor::get_scale ( ) const

Gets the internal scale factor that maps from monitor coordinates to device pixels.

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 surface where it is better to use Gdk::Surface::get_scale() instead.

Since gtkmm 4.14:
Returns
The scale.

◆ get_scale_factor()

int Gdk::Monitor::get_scale_factor ( ) const

Gets the internal scale factor that maps from monitor coordinates to device pixels.

On traditional systems this is 1, but on very high density outputs it 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 surface where it is better to use Gdk::Surface::get_scale_factor() instead.

Returns
The scale factor.

◆ get_subpixel_layout()

SubpixelLayout Gdk::Monitor::get_subpixel_layout ( ) const

Gets information about the layout of red, green and blue primaries for pixels.

Returns
The subpixel layout.

◆ get_type()

static GType Gdk::Monitor::get_type ( )
static

Get the GType for this class, for use with the underlying GObject type system.

◆ get_width_mm()

int Gdk::Monitor::get_width_mm ( ) const

Gets the width in millimeters of the monitor.

Returns
The physical width of the monitor.

◆ gobj() [1/2]

GdkMonitor * Gdk::Monitor::gobj ( )
inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

◆ gobj() [2/2]

const GdkMonitor * Gdk::Monitor::gobj ( ) const
inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

◆ gobj_copy()

GdkMonitor * Gdk::Monitor::gobj_copy ( )

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

◆ is_valid()

bool Gdk::Monitor::is_valid ( ) const

Returns true if the monitor object corresponds to a physical monitor.

The monitor becomes invalid when the physical monitor is unplugged or removed.

Returns
true if the object corresponds to a physical monitor.
