<h1><a class="anchor" id="monitor_object"></a>
Monitor objects</h1>
<p>A monitor object represents a currently connected monitor and is represented as a pointer to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opaque_data_type">opaque</a> type <a class="el" href="group__monitor.html#ga8d9efd1cde9426692c73fe40437d0ae3">GLFWmonitor</a>. Monitor objects cannot be created or destroyed by the application and retain their addresses until the monitors they represent are disconnected or until the library is <a class="el" href="intro_guide.html#intro_init_terminate">terminated</a>.</p>
<p>Each monitor has a current video mode, a list of supported video modes, a virtual position, a human-readable name, an estimated physical size and a gamma ramp. One of the monitors is the primary monitor.</p>
<p>The virtual position of a monitor is in <a class="el" href="intro_guide.html#coordinate_systems">screen coordinates</a> and, together with the current video mode, describes the viewports that the connected monitors provide into the virtual desktop that spans them.</p>
<p>To see how GLFW views your monitor setup and its available video modes, run the <code>monitors</code> test program.</p>
<h2><a class="anchor" id="monitor_monitors"></a>
Retrieving monitors</h2>
<p>The primary monitor is returned by <a class="el" href="group__monitor.html#ga721867d84c6d18d6790d64d2847ca0b1">glfwGetPrimaryMonitor</a>. It is the user's preferred monitor and is usually the one with global UI elements like task bar or menu bar.</p>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><a class="code" href="group__monitor.html#ga8d9efd1cde9426692c73fe40437d0ae3">GLFWmonitor</a>* primary = <a class="code" href="group__monitor.html#ga721867d84c6d18d6790d64d2847ca0b1">glfwGetPrimaryMonitor</a>();</div></div><!-- fragment --><p>You can retrieve all currently connected monitors with <a class="el" href="group__monitor.html#ga3fba51c8bd36491d4712aa5bd074a537">glfwGetMonitors</a>.

<h2><a class="anchor" id="monitor_event"></a>
Monitor configuration changes</h2>
<p>If you wish to be notified when a monitor is connected or disconnected, set a monitor callback.</p>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><a class="code" href="group__monitor.html#gac3fe0f647f68b731f99756cd81897378">glfwSetMonitorCallback</a>(monitor_callback);</div></div><!-- fragment --><p>The callback function receives the handle for the monitor that has been connected or disconnected and the event that occurred.</p>

<h1><a class="anchor" id="monitor_properties"></a>
Monitor properties</h1>
<p>Each monitor has a current video mode, a list of supported video modes, a virtual position, a human-readable name, a user pointer, an estimated physical size and a gamma ramp.</p>
<h2><a class="anchor" id="monitor_modes"></a>
Video modes</h2>
<p>GLFW generally does a good job selecting a suitable video mode when you create a full screen window, change its video mode or make a windowed one full screen, but it is sometimes useful to know exactly which video modes are supported.</p>
<p>Video modes are represented as <a class="el" href="structGLFWvidmode.html">GLFWvidmode</a> structures. You can get an array of the video modes supported by a monitor with <a class="el" href="group__monitor.html#ga820b0ce9a5237d645ea7cbb4bd383458">glfwGetVideoModes</a>. See the reference documentation for the lifetime of the returned array.</p>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><span class="keywordtype">int</span> count;</div><div class="line"><a class="code" href="structGLFWvidmode.html">GLFWvidmode</a>* modes = <a class="code" href="group__monitor.html#ga820b0ce9a5237d645ea7cbb4bd383458">glfwGetVideoModes</a>(monitor, &amp;count);</div></div><!-- fragment --><p>To get the current video mode of a monitor call <a class="el" href="group__monitor.html#gafc1bb972a921ad5b3bd5d63a95fc2d52">glfwGetVideoMode</a>.

<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><span class="keyword">const</span> <a class="code" href="structGLFWvidmode.html">GLFWvidmode</a>* mode = <a class="code" href="group__monitor.html#gafc1bb972a921ad5b3bd5d63a95fc2d52">glfwGetVideoMode</a>(monitor);</div></div><!-- fragment --><p>The resolution of a video mode is specified in <a class="el" href="intro_guide.html#coordinate_systems">screen coordinates</a>, not pixels.</p>
<h2><a class="anchor" id="monitor_size"></a>
Physical size</h2>
<p>The physical size of a monitor in millimetres, or an estimation of it, can be retrieved with <a class="el" href="group__monitor.html#ga7d8bffc6c55539286a6bd20d32a8d7ea">glfwGetMonitorPhysicalSize</a>. This has no relation to its current <em>resolution</em>, i.e. the width and height of its current <a class="el" href="monitor_guide.html#monitor_modes">video mode</a>.</p>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><span class="keywordtype">int</span> width_mm, height_mm;</div><div class="line"><a class="code" href="group__monitor.html#ga7d8bffc6c55539286a6bd20d32a8d7ea">glfwGetMonitorPhysicalSize</a>(monitor, &amp;width_mm, &amp;height_mm);</div></div><!-- fragment --><p>While this can be used to calculate the raw DPI of a monitor, this is often not useful. Instead use the <a class="el" href="monitor_guide.html#monitor_scale">monitor content scale</a> and <a class="el" href="window_guide.html#window_scale">window content scale</a> to scale your content.</p>
<h2><a class="anchor" id="monitor_scale"></a>
Content scale</h2>
<p>The content scale for a monitor can be retrieved with <a class="el" href="group__monitor.html#gad3152e84465fa620b601265ebfcdb21b">glfwGetMonitorContentScale</a>.</p>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><span class="keywordtype">float</span> xscale, yscale;</div><div class="line"><a class="code" href="group__monitor.html#gad3152e84465fa620b601265ebfcdb21b">glfwGetMonitorContentScale</a>(monitor, &amp;xscale, &amp;yscale);</div></div><!-- fragment --><p>The content scale is the ratio between the current DPI and the platform's default DPI. This is especially important for text and any UI elements. If the pixel dimensions of your UI scaled by this look appropriate on your machine then it should appear at a reasonable size on other machines regardless of their DPI and scaling settings. This relies on the system DPI and scaling settings being somewhat correct.</p>
<p>The content scale may depend on both the monitor resolution and pixel density and on user settings. It may be very different from the raw DPI calculated from the physical size and current resolution.</p>
<h2><a class="anchor" id="monitor_pos"></a>
Virtual position</h2>
<p>The position of the monitor on the virtual desktop, in <a class="el" href="intro_guide.html#coordinate_systems">screen coordinates</a>, can be retrieved with <a class="el" href="group__monitor.html#ga102f54e7acc9149edbcf0997152df8c9">glfwGetMonitorPos</a>.</p>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><span class="keywordtype">int</span> xpos, ypos;</div><div class="line"><a class="code" href="group__monitor.html#ga102f54e7acc9149edbcf0997152df8c9">glfwGetMonitorPos</a>(monitor, &amp;xpos, &amp;ypos);</div></div><!-- fragment --><h2><a class="anchor" id="monitor_workarea"></a>
Work area</h2>
<p>The area of a monitor not occupied by global task bars or menu bars is the work area. This is specified in <a class="el" href="intro_guide.html#coordinate_systems">screen coordinates</a> and can be retrieved with <a class="el" href="group__monitor.html#ga7387a3bdb64bfe8ebf2b9e54f5b6c9d0">glfwGetMonitorWorkarea</a>.</p>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><span class="keywordtype">int</span> xpos, ypos, width, height;</div><div class="line"><a class="code" href="group__monitor.html#ga7387a3bdb64bfe8ebf2b9e54f5b6c9d0">glfwGetMonitorWorkarea</a>(monitor, &amp;xpos, &amp;ypos, &amp;width, &amp;height);</div></div><!-- fragment --><h2><a class="anchor" id="monitor_name"></a>
Human-readable name</h2>
<p>The human-readable, UTF-8 encoded name of a monitor is returned by <a class="el" href="group__monitor.html#ga79a34ee22ff080ca954a9663e4679daf">glfwGetMonitorName</a>. See the reference documentation for the lifetime of the returned string.</p>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="keywordtype">char</span>* name = <a class="code" href="group__monitor.html#ga79a34ee22ff080ca954a9663e4679daf">glfwGetMonitorName</a>(monitor);</div></div><!-- fragment --><p>Monitor names are not guaranteed to be unique. Two monitors of the same model and make may have the same name. Only the monitor handle is guaranteed to be unique, and only until that monitor is disconnected.</p>
<h2><a class="anchor" id="monitor_userptr"></a>
User pointer</h2>
<p>Each monitor has a user pointer that can be set with <a class="el" href="group__monitor.html#ga702750e24313a686d3637297b6e85fda">glfwSetMonitorUserPointer</a> and queried with <a class="el" href="group__monitor.html#gac2d4209016b049222877f620010ed0d8">glfwGetMonitorUserPointer</a>. This can be used for any purpose you need and will not be modified by GLFW. The value will be kept until the monitor is disconnected or until the library is terminated.</p>
<p>The initial value of the pointer is <code>NULL</code>.</p>
<h2><a class="anchor" id="monitor_gamma"></a>
Gamma ramp</h2>
<p>The gamma ramp of a monitor can be set with <a class="el" href="group__monitor.html#ga583f0ffd0d29613d8cd172b996bbf0dd">glfwSetGammaRamp</a>, which accepts a monitor handle and a pointer to a <a class="el" href="structGLFWgammaramp.html">GLFWgammaramp</a> structure.</p>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><a class="code" href="structGLFWgammaramp.html">GLFWgammaramp</a> ramp;</div><div class="line"><span class="keywordtype">unsigned</span> <span class="keywordtype">short</span> red[256], green[256], blue[256];</div><div class="line"></div><div class="line">ramp.<a class="code" href="structGLFWgammaramp.html#ad620e1cffbff9a32c51bca46301b59a5">size</a> = 256;</div><div class="line">ramp.<a class="code" href="structGLFWgammaramp.html#a2cce5d968734b685623eef913e635138">red</a> = red;</div><div class="line">ramp.<a class="code" href="structGLFWgammaramp.html#affccc6f5df47820b6562d709da3a5a3a">green</a> = green;</div><div class="line">ramp.<a class="code" href="structGLFWgammaramp.html#acf0c836d0efe29c392fe8d1a1042744b">blue</a> = blue;</div><div class="line"></div><div class="line"><span class="keywordflow">for</span> (i = 0; i &lt; ramp.<a class="code" href="structGLFWgammaramp.html#ad620e1cffbff9a32c51bca46301b59a5">size</a>; i++)</div><div class="line">{</div><div class="line"> <span class="comment">// Fill out gamma ramp arrays as desired</span></div><div class="line">}</div><div class="line"></div><div class="line"><a class="code" href="group__monitor.html#ga583f0ffd0d29613d8cd172b996bbf0dd">glfwSetGammaRamp</a>(monitor, &amp;ramp);</div></div><!-- fragment --><p>The gamma ramp data is copied before the function returns, so there is no need to keep it around once the ramp has been set.</p>
<p>It is recommended that your gamma ramp have the same size as the current gamma ramp for that monitor.</p>
<p>The current gamma ramp for a monitor is returned by <a class="el" href="group__monitor.html#gab7c41deb2219bde3e1eb756ddaa9ec80">glfwGetGammaRamp</a>. See the reference documentation for the lifetime of the returned structure.</p>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><span class="keyword">const</span> <a class="code" href="structGLFWgammaramp.html">GLFWgammaramp</a>* ramp = <a class="code" href="group__monitor.html#gab7c41deb2219bde3e1eb756ddaa9ec80">glfwGetGammaRamp</a>(monitor);</div></div><!-- fragment --><p>If you wish to set a regular gamma ramp, you can have GLFW calculate it for you from the desired exponent with <a class="el" href="group__monitor.html#ga6ac582625c990220785ddd34efa3169a">glfwSetGamma</a>, which in turn calls <a class="el" href="group__monitor.html#ga583f0ffd0d29613d8cd172b996bbf0dd">glfwSetGammaRamp</a> with the resulting ramp.</p>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><a class="code" href="group__monitor.html#ga6ac582625c990220785ddd34efa3169a">glfwSetGamma</a>(monitor, 1.0);</div></div><!-- fragment --><p>To experiment with gamma correction via the <a class="el" href="group__monitor.html#ga6ac582625c990220785ddd34efa3169a">glfwSetGamma</a> function, run the <code>gamma</code> test program.</p>
<dl class="section note"><dt>Note</dt><dd>The software controlled gamma ramp is applied <em>in addition</em> to the hardware gamma correction, which today is usually an approximation of sRGB gamma.
