HiDPI support: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 12:43, 20 July 2020

HiDPI support refers to the issue of displaying raster graphics (fonts, cursors, images) on high-resolution displays.

The issue is that the physical size of a display remains the same while its resolution increases.

Issues

Raster images (cursors, icons)
Fonts (defined in pixels rather than points)
Cursor hot point
Zoom/Rotate origin
Snap distance
Selection distance (the hot area around selectable objects)
