## Detailed Description

The QX11Info class provides information about the X display configuration.

The class provides two APIs: a set of non-static functions that provide information about a specific widget or pixmap, and a set of static functions that provide the default information for the application.

Warning: This class is only available on X11. For querying per-screen information in a portable way, use QDesktopWidget.

See also QWidget::x11Info(), QPixmap::x11Info(), and QDesktopWidget.

## Member Function Documentation

### QX11Info::QX11Info ()

Constructs an empty QX11Info object.

### QX11Info::QX11Info ( const QX11Info & other )

Constructs a copy of other.

### QX11Info::~QX11Info ()

Destroys the QX11Info object.

### int QX11Info::appCells ( int screen = -1 )`[static]`

Returns the number of cells used by the application on the given screen.

The screen argument is an X screen number. Be aware that if the user's system uses Xinerama (as opposed to traditional X11 multiscreen), there is only one X screen. Use QDesktopWidget to query for information about Xinerama screens.

See also cells().

### const char * QX11Info::appClass ()`[static]`

Returns the X11 application class.

See also display().

### Qt::HANDLE QX11Info::appColormap ( int screen = -1 )`[static]`

Returns a handle for the application's color map on the given screen.

The screen argument is an X screen number. Be aware that if the user's system uses Xinerama (as opposed to traditional X11 multiscreen), there is only one X screen. Use QDesktopWidget to query for information about Xinerama screens.

See also colormap() and defaultColormap().

### bool QX11Info::appDefaultColormap ( int screen = -1 )`[static]`

Returns true if the application has a default color map on the given screen; otherwise returns false.

The screen argument is an X screen number. Be aware that if the user's system uses Xinerama (as opposed to traditional X11 multiscreen), there is only one X screen. Use QDesktopWidget to query for information about Xinerama screens.

### bool QX11Info::appDefaultVisual ( int screen = -1 )`[static]`

Returns true if the application has a default visual on the given screen; otherwise returns false.

The screen argument is an X screen number. Be aware that if the user's system uses Xinerama (as opposed to traditional X11 multiscreen), there is only one X screen. Use QDesktopWidget to query for information about Xinerama screens.

### int QX11Info::appDepth ( int screen = -1 )`[static]`

Returns the color depth (bits per pixel) used by the application on the given screen.

The screen argument is an X screen number. Be aware that if the user's system uses Xinerama (as opposed to traditional X11 multiscreen), there is only one X screen. Use QDesktopWidget to query for information about Xinerama screens.

See also depth().

### int QX11Info::appDpiX ( int screen = -1 )`[static]`

Returns the horizontal resolution of the given screen in terms of the number of dots per inch.

The screen argument is an X screen number. Be aware that if the user's system uses Xinerama (as opposed to traditional X11 multiscreen), there is only one X screen. Use QDesktopWidget to query for information about Xinerama screens.

See also setAppDpiX() and appDpiY().

### int QX11Info::appDpiY ( int screen = -1 )`[static]`

Returns the vertical resolution of the given screen in terms of the number of dots per inch.

The screen argument is an X screen number. Be aware that if the user's system uses Xinerama (as opposed to traditional X11 multiscreen), there is only one X screen. Use QDesktopWidget to query for information about Xinerama screens.

See also setAppDpiY() and appDpiX().

### Qt::HANDLE QX11Info::appRootWindow ( int screen = -1 )`[static]`

Returns a handle for the applications root window on the given screen.

The screen argument is an X screen number. Be aware that if the user's system uses Xinerama (as opposed to traditional X11 multiscreen), there is only one X screen. Use QDesktopWidget to query for information about Xinerama screens.

See also QApplication::desktop().

### int QX11Info::appScreen ()`[static]`

Returns the number of the screen where the application is being displayed.

See also display() and screen().

### unsigned long QX11Info::appTime ()`[static]`

Returns the X11 time.

See also setAppTime() and appUserTime().

### unsigned long QX11Info::appUserTime ()`[static]`

Returns the X11 user time.

See also setAppUserTime() and appTime().

### void * QX11Info::appVisual ( int screen = -1 )`[static]`

Returns the current visual used by the application on the given screen.

The screen argument is an X screen number. Be aware that if the user's system uses Xinerama (as opposed to traditional X11 multiscreen), there is only one X screen. Use QDesktopWidget to query for information about Xinerama screens.
