Check if on Retina

[Gerald Brandt]

Hi,

Is there any way to check if the program is currently on a retina display (using trunk)?

I'm currently working on this, right now I could add this to wxDC

the native method is named backingScaleFactor, so we could name it

wxDC::GetBackingScaleFactor, this would return 2 eg for a dc of a window
on a retina screen.

Best,

Stefan

Hi,

Sounds great! I'm assuming than that a simple check of GetBackingScalingFactor() == 1 would be a standard display? Is there a ticket on this I can monitor, to know when it's in?

you can now ask a window GetContentScaleFactor(), if it's > 1.999 Š you
are on a retina display

I'll update from SVN tomorrow and see how it works.

Thanks!
