[platform-swt-dev] Autoscale and printing

["Philippe Detournay" <plouf@xxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

 

I started to test the new 4.6 autoscale feature for HighDPI usage. I’m running on Windows 10 with scale factor set to 150%. I observed that the autoscale appears to be enabled on all devices, including printers. This means in practice that if I want to draw items of specific size (for instance, 5 inches), whereas I used to perform a simple 5*getDPI().x, I now have to divide this result by the autoscale factor (which requires parsing a system property, so quite clunky). Is this the expected behavior, and is this the proper solution?

 

Kind regards to all,

Philippe
