This function wasn't consistently correct across platforms and devices.
If you want the UI scale factor, you can use display_scale in the structure returned by SDL_GetDesktopDisplayMode(). If you need an approximate DPI, you can multiply this value times 160 on iPhone and Android, and 96 on other platforms.
This makes it clear what the new versions are, and in the case of SDL_RenderDrawPoint() and SDL_RenderDrawLine(), the coccinelle script actually does the (float) casts for you.
This fixes rounding errors with coordinate scaling and gives more flexibility in the presentation, as well as making it easy to maintain device independent resolution as windows move between different pixel density displays.
By default when a renderer is created, it will match the window size so window coordinates and render coordinates are 1-1.
Mouse and touch events are no longer filtered to change their coordinates, instead you can call SDL_ConvertEventToRenderCoordinates() to explicitly map event coordinates into the rendering viewport.
SDL_RenderWindowToLogical() and SDL_RenderLogicalToWindow() have been renamed SDL_RenderCoordinatesFromWindow() and SDL_RenderCoordinatesToWindow() and take floating point coordinates in both directions.
The viewport, clipping state, and scale for render targets are now persistent and will remain set whenever they are active.
Rather than iterating over display modes using an index, there is a new function SDL_GetFullscreenDisplayModes() to get the list of available fullscreen modes on a display.
{
SDL_DisplayID display = SDL_GetPrimaryDisplay();
int num_modes = 0;
SDL_DisplayMode **modes = SDL_GetFullscreenDisplayModes(display, &num_modes);
if (modes) {
for (i = 0; i < num_modes; ++i) {
SDL_DisplayMode *mode = modes[i];
SDL_Log("Display %" SDL_PRIu32 " mode %d: %dx%d@%gHz, %d%% scale\n",
display, i, mode->pixel_w, mode->pixel_h, mode->refresh_rate, (int)(mode->display_scale * 100.0f));
}
SDL_free(modes);
}
}
SDL_GetDesktopDisplayMode() and SDL_GetCurrentDisplayMode() return pointers to display modes rather than filling in application memory.
Windows now have an explicit fullscreen mode that is set, using SDL_SetWindowFullscreenMode(). The fullscreen mode for a window can be queried with SDL_GetWindowFullscreenMode(), which returns a pointer to the mode, or NULL if the window will be fullscreen desktop. SDL_SetWindowFullscreen() just takes a boolean value, setting the correct fullscreen state based on the selected mode.
SDL_DisplayMode now includes the pixel size, the screen size and the relationship between the two. For example, a 4K display at 200% scale could have a pixel size of 3840x2160, a screen size of 1920x1080, and a display scale of 2.0.
Appropriate CPU directive can be used in #pragma aux so that it is not
necessary to hardcode instruction bytes.

* SDL 3.0 is going to be high DPI aware and officially separates screen coordinates from client pixel area
The public APIs to disable high DPI support have been removed
Work in progress on https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/7134
libdecor plugins can change the min/max window size values internally to enforce a minimum window size, and errors and crashes can result if the window size is below the internal limit.
On versions of libdecor >= 0.1.1, the minimum width and height can be queried and the minimum required window size will be enforced. The application requested window size is still respected, however, the actual window may be slightly larger than the drawable area to accommodate the required libdecor minimum size.
On version 0.1.0 of libdecor, which lacks the function to retrieve the minimum size, the internal limits are overridden before committing a frame, so that the internal limits always match the window size as a workaround, even if the window is technically smaller than the plugin would normally allow.
Fixes DPI awareness of testdrawchessboard (previously, the surface was
being created in points instead of pixels, resulting in the demo app
only drawing in a corner of the screen on High-DPI displays)
*_CreateWindowFramebuffer()/*_UpdateWindowFramebuffer(): are updated
to use SDL_GetWindowSizeInPixels instead of SDL_GetWindowSize() or
window->w/window->h.
Most of the _CreateWindowFramebuffer backends are untested except
for Windows.
Fixes#7047
This fixes the clang warning "Cast between pointer-to-function and pointer-to-object is an extension"
You can define SDL_FUNCTION_POINTER_IS_VOID_POINTER in your project to restore the previous behavior.
Fixes https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/2866
You can enable and disable subsystems with SDL_ENABLE_SYSWM_*/SDL_DISABLE_SYSWM_* and you can disable the type forward declarations with SDL_DISABLE_SYSWM_*_TYPES
This simplifies the API and removes a level of API translation between the int variants of the functions and the float implementation
Fixes https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/6656
Also cleaned up logic for whether we need to poll for events:
- We need to periodically poll for joysticks to handle hotplug.
- We need to frequently poll for joysticks and sensors when they're open so their state can be updated
This function is useful for accumulating relative mouse motion if you want to only handle whole pixel movement.
e.g.
static float dx_frac, dy_frac;
float dx, dy;
/* Accumulate new motion with previous sub-pixel motion */
dx = event.motion.xrel + dx_frac;
dy = event.motion.yrel + dy_frac;
/* Split the integral and fractional motion, dx and dy will contain whole pixel deltas */
dx_frac = SDL_modff(dx, &dx);
dy_frac = SDL_modff(dy, &dy);
if (dx != 0.0f || dy != 0.0f) {
...
}
I don't think there's any point in console_*main() for non-MSVC - I think
it can't be called anyway now that SDL_main is header-only.
So I renamed those functions to main() and wmain() and made them MSVC-only
For reference, MinGW (at least the version I tested) supports both main()
and WinMain(), no matter if compiled with -mconsole or -mwindows (it seems
to prefer main() over WinMain() if both are available, in both cases).
But when building with -municode, it needs wmain() or wWinMain(), so
that case is now handled with wWinMain()
