Screen size different from render size on 4k monitor

[wilsonk]

Sorry if I am bothering you with this stuff :) I am getting different sizes on almost all examples between render and screen while using a 4k monitor on linux.

So I end up seeing this type of thing where the port is different from the full window size. It is very apparent on the pong game, as I can't see both players and all edges (this is with a very low level card, but I doubt that matters):

Seems to work fine with MacOS on the same 4k monitor, however. I would test on windows, but the build is failing with glfw3_mt.lib missing with mingw64?

[redthing1]

that's probably DPI scaling? there's fields on the core to adjust it. I thought I had fixed it, but I guess not?

It would be helpful if you could give more information about your monitor resolution and scaling, etc., and whether you're using Xorg or Wayland?

I have tested on a hidpi scaled Xorg Linux and also on macs, both of which seem to work.

Clearly I overlooked something, let's try to figure it out.

[wilsonk]

Xorg no Wayland here.

xrdb -query | grep dpi
shows
Xft.dpi = 136

xdpyinfo | grep resolution
shows
resolution: 96x96 dots per inch

xrandr | grep -w connected
shows
HDMI-A-0 connected 3840x2160+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 708mm x 399mm

No scaling on Xfce settings (just 1x in other words). Any other info you might need? I think I had a similar issue with dvui (a zig based immediate mode ui), but I can't remember off hand how we fixed it, darnit.

[redthing1]

Thanks for the details. Yeah, I think I see the issue, it's fractional scaling. Right now I assumed all scaling would be integer. But there's not really anything preventing fractional scaling from working either, so it should be an easy fix.

[redthing1]

@wilsonk can you please set this in your entry point before reng initializes, and send all the logs? I want to see what happens with the window size and scaling calculations.

Core.log.verbosity = Verbosity.debug_;

[wilsonk]

Hmm, I have tried putting that statement at every single line of the quickshd example to no avail. Then I tried changing core.d initializer at line 103 to .debug_, recompiled the lib and the example with --force...no change, only INFO debug informaiton is produced. I literally don't know what else to even try, sorry?

[redthing1]

can you go to core and window and just add a bunch of logs to see what it's detecting as the scale DPI, window size, screen size, then go to scene and print out the render target size
I don't have time to do it myself

[redthing1]

ok, so I should clarify some things. there are some overlapping things that can be confusing:

in raylib we have:

int GetScreenWidth (); // Get current screen width
int GetScreenHeight (); // Get current screen height
int GetRenderWidth (); // Get current render width (it considers HiDPI)
int GetRenderHeight (); // Get current render height (it considers HiDPI)

• how reng works, is that each scene renders to an internal render target, then that render target is drawn to the screen.
• if HIDPI is working properly, we should expect GetRenderWidth to return the framebuffer size (which is DPI aware, so it would be multiplied by the scale factor).
• on the other hand the screen coordinates remain the same regardless of DPI, so they are scaled to the framebuffer
• how reng handles this is that HIDPI is used to oversample the render framebuffer, so that when it's drawn to screen coordinates we don't scale up a lowres texture but rather match or exceed the target framebuffer rectangle size

please see:

• GetRenderWidth in raylib

[redthing1]

It would be really helpful if you could figure out how to share your reng logs. Here are mine, on a HIDPI macOS display, for example:

note the following:

• screen size 960x540
• but reported render with by GetRenderWidth is double that due to 2x scaling
• and a 2x oversample factor makes the final render resolution 3840x2160, which is drawn to a 960x540 screen space rect

Strange, can you not see this INFO output in the screen capture at the top? I can if I zoom in a bit...but anyways, here it is in a clearer form:

[redthing1]

based on that, it seems both render size and screen size look correct no?

one thing that might be useful: in the core find where it draws the scene render target, then ensure it's drawing it to the correct screen bounds: in screen space the rect should still be 960x540
maybe make a scene that just draws rectangles

also please check that the render target itself is the right shape

there's also a possibility that the lack of fractional scaling is on raylib's side, but I'll have to double check

[wilsonk]

Yeah it looks like the render and screen sizes are right and it looks like the calculation for fractional scaling is being done correctly for the window.dpi_scale variable (=1.375), as 1320/960 is 1.375. So now I guess dpi_scale just needs to be applied everywhere that it would be necessary? I guess...?

It seems like the nuidemo should be grabbing the dpi_scale and applying it correctly but that doesn't seem to be the case...argh!

Here is what David and I did on dvui, but that was with SDL:
david-vanderson/dvui#17

Looks like things might be even worse on windows?:
david-vanderson/dvui#150

According to raysan5 scaling is pretty broken as of April:
