get_scale


Description:

[ Version ( since = "4.12" ) ]
public double get_scale ()

Returns the internal scale that maps from surface coordinates to the actual device pixels.

When the scale is bigger than 1, the windowing system prefers to get buffers with a resolution that is bigger than the surface size (e.g. to show the surface on a high-resolution display, or in a magnifier).

Compare with [method@Gdk.Surface.get_scale_factor], which returns the next larger integer.

The scale may change during the lifetime of the surface.

Parameters:

this

surface to get scale for

Returns:

the scale
