Class

GdkDisplay

Description [src]

final class Gdk.Display : GObject.Object
{
  /* No available fields */
}

GdkDisplay objects are the GDK representation of a workstation.

Their purpose are two-fold:

To manage and provide information about input devices (pointers, keyboards, etc)
To manage and provide information about output devices (monitors, projectors, etc)

Most of the input device handling has been factored out into separate GdkSeat objects. Every display has a one or more seats, which can be accessed with gdk_display_get_default_seat() and gdk_display_list_seats().

Output devices are represented by GdkMonitor objects, which can be accessed with gdk_display_get_monitor_at_surface() and similar APIs.
