SDL_GetWindowSizeInPixels

Get the size of a window in pixels.

Header File

Defined in SDL_video.h

Syntax

void SDL_GetWindowSizeInPixels(SDL_Window * window,
                               int *w, int *h);

Function Parameters

window the window from which the drawable size should be queried
w a pointer to variable for storing the width in pixels, may be NULL
h a pointer to variable for storing the height in pixels, may be NULL

Remarks

This may differ from SDL_GetWindowSize() if we're rendering to a high-DPI drawable, i.e. the window was created with SDL_WINDOW_ALLOW_HIGHDPI on a platform with high-DPI support (Apple calls this "Retina"), and not disabled by the SDL_HINT_VIDEO_HIGHDPI_DISABLED hint.

Version

This function is available since SDL 2.26.0.
