PhysicalPosition |
the Top-left corner position of the monitor relative to the larger full screen area, in physical pixels. Note that window creation options such as x, y, width and height expect logical pixels, so convert with Monitor.scaleFactor first: import { currentMonitor } from '@tauri-apps/api/window'; import { WebviewWindow } from '@tauri-apps/api/webviewWindow'; const monitor = await currentMonitor(); if (monitor) { const position = monitor.position.toLogical(monitor.scaleFactor); const webview = new WebviewWindow('my-label', { x: position.x, y: position.y }); } |
packages/api/src/window.ts:75 |
scaleFactor |
number |
The scale factor that can be used to map physical pixels to logical pixels, e.g. monitor.position.toLogical(monitor.scaleFactor). |
packages/api/src/window.ts:90 |
size |
PhysicalSize |
The monitor’s resolution in physical pixels. Use Monitor.scaleFactor to convert to logical pixels: const logicalSize = monitor.size.toLogical(monitor.scaleFactor); |
packages/api/src/window.ts:58 |
workArea |
object |
The monitor’s work area (the monitor area excluding taskbars and docks) in physical pixels. Use Monitor.scaleFactor to convert to logical pixels as shown in Monitor.position. |
