Display

open class Display : GLibObject.Object, DisplayProtocol

The Display type acts as a reference-counted owner of an underlying GdkDisplay instance. It provides the methods that can operate on this data type through DisplayProtocol conformance. Use Display as a strong reference or owner of a GdkDisplay instance.

GdkDisplay objects purpose are two fold:

  • To manage and provide information about input devices (pointers and keyboards)

  • To manage and provide information about the available GdkScreens

GdkDisplay objects are the GDK representation of an X Display, which can be described as a workstation consisting of a keyboard, a pointing device (such as a mouse) and one or more screens. It is used to open and keep track of various GdkScreen objects currently instantiated by the application. It is also used to access the keyboard(s) and mouse pointer(s) of the display.

Most of the input device handling has been factored out into the separate GdkDeviceManager object. Every display has a device manager, which you can obtain using gdk_display_get_device_manager().

  • Designated initialiser from the underlying `C` data type.

    This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the Display instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
public init(_ op: UnsafeMutablePointer<GdkDisplay>)

    Parameters

    op

    pointer to the underlying object
    Show on GitHub

  • Designated initialiser from a constant pointer to the underlying C data type. This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the Display instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
public init(_ op: UnsafePointer<GdkDisplay>)

    Parameters

    op

    pointer to the underlying object

  • Optional initialiser from a non-mutating gpointer to the underlying C data type. This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the Display instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
override public init!(gpointer op: gpointer?)

    Parameters

    op

    gpointer to the underlying object

  • Optional initialiser from a non-mutating gconstpointer to the underlying C data type. This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the Display instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
override public init!(gconstpointer op: gconstpointer?)

    Parameters

    op

  • Gets the default GdkDisplay. This is a convenience function for: gdk_display_manager_get_default_display (gdk_display_manager_get ()).

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
public static func getDefault() -> Display!
    Show on GitHub

  • Opens a display.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
public static func open(displayName: UnsafePointer<gchar>!) -> Display!
    Show on GitHub

  • Opens the default display specified by command line arguments or environment variables, sets it as the default display, and returns it. gdk_parse_args() must have been called first. If the default display has previously been set, simply returns that. An internal function that should not be used by applications.
