I am working on a program for the Linux platform that
reports system information. The program reports screen
information, number of monitors, resolution of each one
and the total resolution. It does it using a couple of
external utils, Xrandr and Xdpyinfo. It is my goal to
replace the existing code with a python solution without
depending on the external programs.
With the help of a code snippet I found, I came up with
this but it only reports the resolution of the primary
monitor...
#! /usr/bin/env python3
import gi
gi.require_version('Gdk', '3.0')
from gi.repository import Gdk
display = Gdk.Display.get_default()
pm = display.get_primary_monitor()
geo = pm.get_geometry()
w = geo.width
h = geo.height
print(w,h)
I know that the number of monitors can be obtained by
using...
mc = Gdk.Display.get_n_monitors(display)
Then to get each monitor, this can be used...
monitor = Gdk.Display.get_monitor(display, monitor_num)
My problem is that I can't find any information on how
"monitor_num" is obtained. The only thing I have been
able to find out is that it is an integer. Can anybody
point me in the right direction? Much appreciated.
If get_n_monitors tells you how many monitors there are, isn't
monitor_num just an index (0, 1, 2, ...)?
