Detailed Description

The QScreen class is used to query screen properties. \inmodule QtGui.

Since: 5.0

A note on logical vs physical dots per inch: physical DPI is based on the actual physical pixel sizes when available, and is useful for print preview and other cases where it's desirable to know the exact physical dimensions of screen displayed contents.

Logical dots per inch are used to convert font and user interface elements from point sizes to pixel sizes, and might be different from the physical dots per inch. The logical dots per inch are sometimes user-settable in the desktop environment's settings panel, to let the user globally control UI and font sizes in different applications.

Note: Both physical and logical DPI are expressed in device-independent dots. Multiply by QScreen::devicePixelRatio() to get device-dependent density.

◆ grabWindow()

QPixmap QScreen::grabWindow	(	WId	window = `0`,
		int	x = `0`,
		int	y = `0`,
		int	width = `-1`,
		int	height = `-1`
	)

Creates and returns a pixmap constructed by grabbing the contents of the given window restricted by QRect(x, y, width, height).

If window is 0, then the entire screen will be grabbed.

The arguments ({x}, {y}) specify the offset in the window, whereas ({width}, {height}) specify the area to be copied. If width is negative, the function copies everything to the right border of the window. If height is negative, the function copies everything to the bottom of the window.

The offset and size arguments are specified in device independent pixels. The returned pixmap may be larger than the requested size when grabbing from a high-DPI screen. Call QPixmap::devicePixelRatio() to determine if this is the case.

The window system identifier (WId) can be retrieved using the QWidget::winId() function. The rationale for using a window identifier and not a QWidget, is to enable grabbing of windows that are not part of the application, window system frames, and so on.

Warning: Grabbing windows that are not part of the application is not supported on systems such as iOS, where sandboxing/security prevents reading pixels of windows not owned by the application.

The grabWindow() function grabs pixels from the screen, not from the window, i.e. if there is another window partially or entirely over the one you grab, you get pixels from the overlying window, too. The mouse cursor is generally not grabbed.

Note on X11 that if the given window doesn't have the same depth as the root window, and another window partially or entirely obscures the one you grab, you will not get pixels from the overlying window. The contents of the obscured areas in the pixmap will be undefined and uninitialized.

On Windows Vista and above grabbing a layered window, which is created by setting the Qt::WA_TranslucentBackground attribute, will not work. Instead grabbing the desktop widget should work.

Warning: In general, grabbing an area outside the screen is not safe. This depends on the underlying window system.

the screen's available geometry in pixels

The available geometry is the geometry excluding window manager reserved areas such as task bars and system menus.

Note, on X11 this will return the true available geometry only on systems with one monitor and if window manager has set _NET_WORKAREA atom. In all other cases this is equal to geometry(). This is a limitation in X11 window manager specification.

◆ nativeOrientation

QScreen::nativeOrientation

read

the native screen orientation

Since: 5.2

The native orientation of the screen is the orientation where the logo sticker of the device appears the right way up, or Qt::PrimaryOrientation if the platform does not support this functionality.

The native orientation is a property of the hardware, and does not change.

Definition at line 148 of file qscreen.h.

Referenced by overview_viewfinder_orientation().

◆ orientation

QScreen::orientation

read

the screen orientation

The orientation property tells the orientation of the screen from the window system perspective.

Most mobile devices and tablet computers contain accelerometer sensors. The Qt Sensors module provides the ability to read this sensor directly. However, the windowing system may rotate the entire screen automatically based on how it is being held; in that case, this orientation property will change.

◆ physicalDotsPerInch

QScreen::physicalDotsPerInch

read

the number of physical dots or pixels per inch

This value represents the pixel density on the screen's display. Depending on what information the underlying system provides the value might not be entirely accurate.

Note: Physical DPI is expressed in device-independent dots. Multiply by QScreen::devicePixelRatio() to get device-dependent density.

◆ primaryOrientation

QScreen::primaryOrientation

read

the primary screen orientation

The primary screen orientation is Qt::LandscapeOrientation if the screen geometry's width is greater than or equal to its height, or Qt::PortraitOrientation otherwise. This property might change when the screen orientation was changed (i.e. when the display is rotated). The behavior is however platform dependent and can often be specified in an application manifest file.
