Detailed Description

The Boot to Qt demo launcher and Qt Quick Controls scale automatically to screens of different sizes, from 7-inch touch screens to 60-inch or larger television screens to ensure readability and touch friendliness. For this, Qt has to know the physical dimensions of the screen. By default, it tries to query these values from the framebuffer devices. However, many kernel drivers do not provide this information.

The display settings enable overriding and manually setting the physical screen size.

In addition, you can set the display brightness. That is, the intensity of the backlight.

int displayBrightness()
bool setDisplayBrightness(int v)

Notifier signal:

void displayBrightnessChanged(int newValue)

physicalScreenHeightMm : int

This property holds the physical screen height in millimeters.

Access functions:

int physicalScreenHeightMm() const
void setPhysicalScreenHeightMm(int newHeight)

Notifier signal:

void physicalScreenHeightMmChanged(int newValue)

physicalScreenSizeInch : int

This property holds the physical screen size in inches.

Access functions:

int physicalScreenSizeInch() const
void setPhysicalScreenSizeInch(int inches)

Notifier signal:

void physicalScreenSizeInchChanged(int newInches)

physicalScreenSizeOverride : bool

This property holds whether to use the value set for the physical screen size.

Access functions:

bool physicalScreenSizeOverride() const
void setPhysicalScreenSizeOverride(bool enable)

Notifier signal:

void physicalScreenSizeOverrideChanged(bool newValue)

physicalScreenWidthMm : int

This property holds the physical screen width in millimeters.

Access functions:

int physicalScreenWidthMm() const
void setPhysicalScreenWidthMm(int newWidth)

Notifier signal:

void physicalScreenWidthMmChanged(int newValue)
