How to get the covered area?

[darkfrei]

Hi all!
I have this code:

Code: Select all

function love.draw()
	-- getPixelDimensions
	pixelwidth, pixelheight = love.graphics.getPixelDimensions( )
	love.graphics.print('pixelwidth: '..pixelwidth..' pixelheight: '..pixelheight, 64, 64)
	
	-- getDimensions
	width, height = love.graphics.getDimensions( )
	love.graphics.print('width: '..width..' height: '..height, 64, 100)
	
	-- circle in the middle
	love.graphics.circle("line", width/2, height/2, math.min(width/2, height/2))
end

It gets the following picture. As you see, the android has covered area, in this situation it's 72 pixels.

1. How to get the size of this cover ribbon?
2. Why getPixelDimensions are not same as getDimensions?

For example same code on windows10 (150% scale because of 4K)

(here is no covered area, size and pixel size are same)

The same, but from the tablet, covered 32 top pixels:
Also 64 bottom pixels, but without covering.

love.window.getSafeArea should get the screen area not covered by the bar I think - if not, there might be issues within SDL that the upcoming love 11.4 release might fix.

2. Why getPixelDimensions are not same as getDimensions?

DPI scaling (which as per the other thread isn't supported at all on Windows, currently).

There's currently issue in 11.3 which causes the area behind the status bar counted as part of the draw area. The upcoming 11.4 fixes that issue.
