Detailed Description
compositor output region
An output describes part of the compositor geometry. The compositor works in the
'compositor coordinate system' and an output corresponds to a rectangular area in that
space that is actually visible. This typically corresponds to a monitor that displays part
of the compositor space. This object is published as global during start up, or when a
monitor is hotplugged.

void output_t::description (std::string const & description, bool post = true)
human-readable description of this output
Parameters
description output description
Many compositors can produce human-readable descriptions of their outputs. The client may
wish to know this description as well, e.g. for output selection purposes.
The description is a UTF-8 string with no convention defined for its contents. The
description is not guaranteed to be unique among all wl_output globals. Examples might
include 'Foocorp 11" Display' or 'Virtual X11 output via :1'.
The description event is sent after binding the output object and whenever the description
changes. The description is optional, and may not be sent at all.
The description event will be followed by a done event.
Definition at line 2988 of file wayland-server-protocol.cpp.
void output_t::done (bool post = true)
sent all information about output This event is sent after all other properties have been
sent after binding to the output object and after any other property changes done after
that. This allows changes to the output properties to be seen as atomic, even if they
happen via multiple events.
Definition at line 2958 of file wayland-server-protocol.cpp.
void output_t::geometry (int32_t x, int32_t y, int32_t physical_width, int32_t
physical_height, output_subpixel const & subpixel, std::string const & make, std::string
const & model, output_transform const & transform, bool post = true)
properties of the output
Parameters
x x position within the global compositor space
y y position within the global compositor space
physical_width width in millimeters of the output
physical_height height in millimeters of the output
subpixel subpixel orientation of the output
make textual description of the manufacturer
model textual description of the model
transform transform that maps framebuffer to output
The geometry event describes geometric properties of the output. The event is sent when
binding to the output object and whenever any of the properties change.
The physical size can be set to zero if it doesn't make sense for this output (e.g. for
projectors or virtual outputs).
The geometry event will be followed by a done event (starting from version 2).
Note: wl_output only advertises partial information about the output position and
identification. Some compositors, for instance those not implementing a desktop-style
output layout or those exposing virtual outputs, might fake this information. Instead of
using x and y, clients should use xdg_output.logical_position. Instead of using make and
model, clients should use name and description.

std::string wayland::server::resource_t::get_class () [inherited]
Retrieve the interface name (class) of a resource object.
Returns
Interface name of the resource object.
client_t wayland::server::resource_t::get_client () const [inherited]
Get the associated client
Returns
the client that owns the resource.
uint32_t wayland::server::resource_t::get_id () const [inherited]
Get the internal ID of the resource
Returns
the internal ID of the resource
unsigned int wayland::server::resource_t::get_version () const [inherited]
Get interface version
Returns
Interface version this resource has been constructed with.
void output_t::mode (output_mode const & flags, int32_t width, int32_t height, int32_t
refresh, bool post = true)
advertise available modes for the output
Parameters
flags bitfield of mode flags
width width of the mode in hardware units
height height of the mode in hardware units
refresh vertical refresh rate in mHz
The mode event describes an available mode for the output.
The event is sent when binding to the output object and there will always be one mode, the
current mode. The event is sent again if an output changes mode, for the mode that is now
current. In other words, the current mode is always the last mode that was received with
the current flag set.
Non-current modes are deprecated. A compositor can decide to only advertise the current
mode and never send other modes. Clients should not rely on non-current modes.
The size of a mode is given in physical hardware units of the output device. This is not
necessarily the same as the output size in the global compositor space. For instance, the
output may be scaled, as described in wl_output.scale, or transformed, as described in
wl_output.transform. Clients willing to retrieve the output size in the global compositor
space should use xdg_output.logical_size instead.
The vertical refresh rate can be set to zero if it doesn't make sense for this output
(e.g. for virtual outputs).
The mode event will be followed by a done event (starting from version 2).
Clients should not use the refresh rate to schedule frames. Instead, they should use the
wl_surface.frame event or the presentation-time protocol.
Note: this information is not always meaningful for all outputs. Some compositors, such as
those exposing virtual outputs, might fake the refresh rate or the size.
Definition at line 2953 of file wayland-server-protocol.cpp.
void output_t::name (std::string const & name, bool post = true)
name of this output
Parameters
name output name
Many compositors will assign user-friendly names to their outputs, show them to the user,
allow the user to refer to an output, etc. The client may wish to know this name as well
to offer the user similar behaviors.
The name is a UTF-8 string with no convention defined for its contents. Each name is
unique among all wl_output globals. The name is only guaranteed to be unique for the
compositor instance.
The same output name is used for all clients for a given wl_output global. Thus, the name
can be shared across processes to refer to a specific wl_output global.
The name is not guaranteed to be persistent across sessions, thus cannot be used to
reliably identify an output in e.g. configuration files.
Examples of names include 'HDMI-A-1', 'WL-1', 'X11-1', etc. However, do not assume that
the name is a reflection of an underlying DRM connector, X11 connection, etc.
The name event is sent after binding the output object. This event is only sent once per
output object, and the name does not change over the lifetime of the wl_output global.
Compositors may re-use the same output name if the wl_output global is destroyed and re-
created later. Compositors should avoid re-using the same name if possible.
The name event will be followed by a done event.

std::function< void()> & output_t::on_release ()
release the output object Using this request a client can tell the server that it is not
going to use the output object anymore.
Definition at line 2942 of file wayland-server-protocol.cpp.
void wayland::server::resource_t::post_no_memory () const [inherited]
Post 'not enough memory' error to the client
If the compositor has not enough memory to fulfill a certail request of the client, this
function can be called to notify the client of this circumstance.
bool wayland::server::resource_t::proxy_has_object () const [inherited]
Check whether this wrapper actually wraps an object.
Returns
true if there is an underlying object, false if this wrapper is empty
void output_t::scale (int32_t factor, bool post = true)
output scaling properties
Parameters
factor scaling factor of output
This event contains scaling geometry information that is not in the geometry event. It may
be sent after binding the output object or if the output scale changes later. If it is not
sent, the client should assume a scale of 1.
A scale larger than 1 means that the compositor will automatically scale surface buffers
by this amount when rendering. This is used for very high resolution displays where
applications rendering at the native resolution would be too small to be legible.
It is intended that scaling aware clients track the current output of a surface, and if it
is on a scaled output it should use wl_surface.set_buffer_scale with the scale of the
output. That way the compositor can avoid scaling the surface, and the client can supply a
higher detail image.
The scale event will be followed by a done event.
