GdkMonitorget_workarea

since: 3.22

Declaration [src] 

void
gdk_monitor_get_workarea (
  GdkMonitor* monitor,
  GdkRectangle* workarea
)

Description [src]

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.

Available since: 3.22

Gets propertyGdk.Monitor:workarea

Parameters

workarea

Type: GdkRectangle

A GdkRectangle to be filled with the monitor workarea.

The argument will be set by the function.
The returned data is owned by the instance.
