Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual Gdk::Screen::~Screen ( ) [virtual]

Member Function Documentation

void Gdk::Screen::broadcast_client_message ( GdkEvent* event )

Sends an X ClientMessage event to all toplevel windows on screen .
Toplevel windows are determined by checking for the WM_STATE property, as described in the Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual (ICCCM). If no windows are found with the WM_STATE property set, the message is sent to all children of the root window.
Since: 2.2
Parameters:

event The Gdk::Event.

Since: 2.2.

int Gdk::Screen::get_height_mm ( ) const

Returns the height of screen in millimeters.
Note that on some X servers this value will not be correct.
Returns:

Since: 2.2.

int Gdk::Screen::get_monitor_at_point ( int x,

int y

) const

Returns the monitor number in which the point ( x , y ) is located.

Parameters:

x The x coordinate in the virtual screen.

y The y coordinate in the virtual screen.

Returns:
The monitor number in which the point ( x , y ) lies, or a monitor close to ( x , y ) if the point is not in any monitor.
Since: 2.2.

int Gdk::Screen::get_monitor_at_window ( const Glib::RefPtr<Window>& window ) const

Parameters:

window A Gdk::Window.

Returns:
The monitor number in which most of window is located, or if window does not intersect any monitors, a monitor, close to window . the number of the monitor in which the largest area of the bounding rectangle of window resides.
Since: 2.2.

void Gdk::Screen::get_monitor_geometry ( int monitor_num,

Rectangle& dest

) const

Retrieves the Gdk::Rectangle representing the size and start coordinates of the individual monitor within the the entire virtual screen.
Note that the virtual screen coordinates can be retrieved via get_width() and get_height().
Since: 2.2
Parameters:

monitor_num The monitor number.

dest A Gdk::Rectangle to be filled with the monitor geometry.

int Gdk::Screen::get_n_monitors ( ) const

Returns the number of monitors being part of the virtual screen.

Returns:
Number of monitors part of the virtual screen or 0 if screen is not in virtual screen mode.
Since: 2.2.

int Gdk::Screen::get_number ( ) const

Gets the index of screen among the screens in the display to which it belongs.
(See get_display())
Returns:
The index
Since: 2.2.

Glib::RefPtr<const Colormap> Gdk::Screen::get_rgb_colormap ( ) const

Gets the preferred colormap for rendering image data on screen .
Not a very useful function; historically, GDK could only render RGB image data to one colormap and visual, but in the current version it can render to any colormap and visual. So there's no need to call this function.
Returns:
The preferred colormap
Since: 2.2.

Glib::RefPtr<Colormap> Gdk::Screen::get_rgb_colormap ( )

Gets the preferred colormap for rendering image data on screen .
Not a very useful function; historically, GDK could only render RGB image data to one colormap and visual, but in the current version it can render to any colormap and visual. So there's no need to call this function.
Returns:
The preferred colormap
Since: 2.2.

Glib::RefPtr<const Visual> Gdk::Screen::get_rgb_visual ( ) const

Gets a "preferred visual" chosen by GdkRGB for rendering image data on screen .
In previous versions of GDK, this was the only visual GdkRGB could use for rendering. In current versions, it's simply the visual GdkRGB would have chosen as the optimal one in those previous versions. GdkRGB can now render to drawables with any visual.
Returns:
The Gdk::Visual chosen by GdkRGB.
Since: 2.2.

Glib::RefPtr<Visual> Gdk::Screen::get_rgb_visual ( )

Gets a "preferred visual" chosen by GdkRGB for rendering image data on screen .

Returns:
The Gdk::Visual chosen by GdkRGB.
Since: 2.2.

Glib::ListHandle<Glib::RefPtr<Window>> Gdk::Screen::get_toplevel_windows ( )

Obtains a list of all toplevel windows known to GDK on the screen screen .
A toplevel window is a child of the root window (see gdk_get_default_root_window()).

Returns:
List of toplevel windows, free with Glib::list_free()
Since: 2.2.

int Gdk::Screen::get_width ( ) const

Gets the width of screen in pixels.

Returns:
The width of screen in pixels.

const GdkScreen* Gdk::Screen::gobj ( ) const [inline]

Reimplemented from Glib::ObjectBase.

GdkScreen* Gdk::Screen::gobj ( ) [inline]

Reimplemented from Glib::ObjectBase.

GdkScreen* Gdk::Screen::gobj_copy ( )

Glib::ListHandle<Glib::RefPtr<Visual>> Gdk::Screen::list_visuals ( )

Lists the available visuals for the specified screen .
A visual describes a hardware image data format. For example, a visual might support 24-bit color, or 8-bit color, and might expect pixels to be in a certain format.
Call Glib::list_free() on the return value when you're finished with it.
Returns:
A list of visuals; the list must be freed, but not its contents
Since: 2.2.

Glib::ustring Gdk::Screen::make_display_name ( )

Determines the name to pass to Gdk::Display::open() to get a Gdk::Display with this screen as the default screen.

A newly allocated string, free with Glib::free()
Since: 2.2.

virtual void Gdk::Screen::on_size_changed ( ) [protected, virtual]

void Gdk::Screen::set_default_colormap ( const Glib::RefPtr<const Colormap>& colormap )
