display_density()

display_density()#

This function returns the number “2” if the screen is a high-density screen (called a Retina display on macOS or high-dpi on Windows and Linux) and a “1” if not.

Examples#

def setup():
    py5.pixel_density(py5.display_density())
    py5.no_stroke()


def draw():
    py5.background(0)
    py5.ellipse(30, 48, 36, 36)
    py5.ellipse(70, 48, 36, 36)

Description#

Underlying Processing method: displayDensity
