Is there a way to get the current monitor resolution?

I want to be able to change to fullscreen mode while not defaulting to some random resolution.
More specificly, I don't want the screen to change resolution when I switch to fullscreen.
So if I'm using this,
Code: Select all
local w, h, fullscreen, v, f = love.graphics.getMode()
love.graphics.setMode(x, y, true, v, f)
to go fullscreen. I need to know what is the current resolution to set x and y.

You can use:
Code: Select all
love.graphics.setMode(0, 0, true, v, f)
Then, it will default to the current resolution.
Also, if it do a black screen for you, use:
Code: Select all
love.graphics.setMode(0, 0, true, v, f)
love.graphics.setMode(love.graphics.getWidth(),love.graphics.getHeight(), true, v, f)

yep, it works like you said.
can you explain why we need the second line there?
it would be better not to have to set the mode twice.

It's a bug in LÖVE 0.8.0. The OpenGL viewport doesn't get set properly if the zeros are used. It will be fixed in the next version.

Is there a way to get the current monitor resolution without visibly changing the window size? (For example, if my game window is 320x200 and I want to get the monitor resolution, the code above will visibly change the window size.)

In 0.9.0 you can use [wiki]love.window.getDesktopDimensions[/wiki].
The current resolution will also often be the largest width and height in the table returned by [wiki]love.graphics.getModes[/wiki] ([wiki]love.window.getFullscreenModes[/wiki] in 0.9.0), although it likely will not be the case if the user is in OS X with a retina display.
