Monitor objects</h1>
<p>The <a class="el" href="group__monitor.html#ga8d9efd1cde9426692c73fe40437d0ae3">GLFWmonitor</a> object represents a currently connected monitor.</p>
<h1><a class="anchor" id="monitor_monitors"></a>
Retrieving monitors</h1>
<p>The primary monitor is returned by <a class="el" href="group__monitor.html#ga721867d84c6d18d6790d64d2847ca0b1">glfwGetPrimaryMonitor</a>. It is usually the user's preferred monitor and the one with global UI elements like task bar or menu bar.</p>

</div><!-- fragment --><h1><a class="anchor" id="monitor_modes"></a>
Retrieving video modes</h1>
<p>Although GLFW generally does a good job at selecting a suitable video mode for you when you open a full screen window, it is sometimes useful to know exactly which modes are available on a certain system. For example, you may want to present the user with a list of video modes to select from. To get a list of available video modes, you can use the function <a class="el" href="group__monitor.html#ga820b0ce9a5237d645ea7cbb4bd383458">glfwGetVideoModes</a>.</p>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><span class="keywordtype">int</span> count;</div>

</div><!-- fragment --><p>To get the current video mode of a monitor call <a class="el" href="group__monitor.html#gafc1bb972a921ad5b3bd5d63a95fc2d52">glfwGetVideoMode</a>.</p>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><span class="keyword">const</span> <a class="code" href="structGLFWvidmode.html" title="Video mode type.">GLFWvidmode</a>* mode = <a class="code" href="group__monitor.html#gafc1bb972a921ad5b3bd5d63a95fc2d52" title="Returns the current mode of the specified monitor.">glfwGetVideoMode</a>(monitor);</div>
</div><!-- fragment --><h1><a class="anchor" id="monitor_size"></a>
Monitor physical size</h1>
<p>The physical size in millimetres of a monitor, or an approximation of it, can be retrieved with <a class="el" href="group__monitor.html#gaa2d6107f4a35771b99812d1260c6056d">glfwGetMonitorPhysicalSize</a>.</p>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><span class="keywordtype">int</span> widthMM, heightMM;</div>

</div><!-- fragment --><p>This can, for example, be used together with the current video mode to calculate the DPI of a monitor.</p>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="keywordtype">double</span> dpi = mode-><a class="code" href="structGLFWvidmode.html#a698dcb200562051a7249cb6ae154c71d">width</a> / (widthMM / 25.4);</div>
</div><!-- fragment --><h1><a class="anchor" id="monitor_name"></a>
Monitor name</h1>
<p>The name of a monitor is returned by <a class="el" href="group__monitor.html#ga79a34ee22ff080ca954a9663e4679daf">glfwGetMonitorName</a>.</p>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="keywordtype">char</span>* name = <a class="code" href="group__monitor.html#ga79a34ee22ff080ca954a9663e4679daf" title="Returns the name of the specified monitor.">glfwGetMonitorName</a>(monitor);</div>
</div><!-- fragment --><p>The monitor name is a regular C string using the UTF-8 encoding. Note that monitor names are not guaranteed to be unique.</p>
<h1><a class="anchor" id="monitor_gamma"></a>
Monitor gamma ramp</h1>
<p>The gamma ramp of a monitor can be set with <a class="el" href="group__monitor.html#ga583f0ffd0d29613d8cd172b996bbf0dd">glfwSetGammaRamp</a>, which accepts a monitor handle and a pointer to a <a class="el" href="structGLFWgammaramp.html">GLFWgammaramp</a> structure.</p>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><a class="code" href="group__monitor.html#ga583f0ffd0d29613d8cd172b996bbf0dd" title="Sets the current gamma ramp for the specified monitor.">glfwSetGammaRamp</a>(monitor, &ramp);</div>
</div><!-- fragment --><p>The current gamma ramp for a monitor is returned by <a class="el" href="group__monitor.html#gab7c41deb2219bde3e1eb756ddaa9ec80">glfwGetGammaRamp</a>.</p>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><span class="keyword">const</span> <a class="code" href="structGLFWgammaramp.html" title="Gamma ramp.">GLFWgammaramp</a>* ramp = <a class="code" href="group__monitor.html#gab7c41deb2219bde3e1eb756ddaa9ec80" title="Retrieves the current gamma ramp for the specified monitor.">glfwGetGammaRamp</a>(monitor);</div>
</div><!-- fragment --><p>If you wish to set a regular gamma ramp, you can have GLFW calculate it for you from the desired exponent with <a class="el" href="group__monitor.html#ga6ac582625c990220785ddd34efa3169a">glfwSetGamma</a>, which in turn calls <a class="el" href="group__monitor.html#ga583f0ffd0d29613d8cd172b996bbf0dd">glfwSetGammaRamp</a> with the resulting ramp.</p>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><a class="code" href="group__monitor.html#ga6ac582625c990220785ddd34efa3169a" title="Generates a gamma ramp and sets it for the specified monitor.">glfwSetGamma</a>(monitor, 1.0);</div>
