DisplayRef

public struct DisplayRef : DisplayProtocol, GWeakCapturing

The DisplayRef type acts as a lightweight Swift reference to an underlying GdkDisplay instance. It exposes methods that can operate on this data type through DisplayProtocol conformance. Use DisplayRef only as an unowned reference to an existing GdkDisplay instance.

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 [classGdk.Seat] objects. Every display has a one or more seats, which can be accessed with [methodGdk.Display.get_default_seat] and [methodGdk.Display.list_seats].

Output devices are represented by [classGdk.Monitor] objects, which can be accessed with [methodGdk.Display.get_monitor_at_surface] and similar APIs.

  • ptr 
    Untyped pointer to the underlying `GdkDisplay` instance.

    For type-safe access, use the generated, typed pointer display_ptr property instead.
