Defines

LV_HOR_RES

The horizontal resolution of the currently active display.

LV_VER_RES

The vertical resolution of the currently active display.

_LV_DPX_CALC(dpi, n)

Same as Android's DIP. (Different name is chosen to avoid mistype between LV_DPI and LV_DIP) 1 dip is 1 px on a 160 DPI screen 1 dip is 2 px on a 320 DPI screen https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2025282/what-is-the-difference-between-px-dip-dp-and-sp

Enums

enum lv_display_rotation_t

Values:

enumerator LV_DISPLAY_ROTATION_0
enumerator LV_DISPLAY_ROTATION_90
enumerator LV_DISPLAY_ROTATION_180
enumerator LV_DISPLAY_ROTATION_270
enum lv_display_render_mode_t

Values:

enumerator LV_DISPLAY_RENDER_MODE_PARTIAL

Use the buffer(s) to render the screen is smaller parts. This way the buffers can be smaller then the display to save RAM. At least 1/10 screen size buffer(s) are recommended.

enumerator LV_DISPLAY_RENDER_MODE_DIRECT

The buffer(s) has to be screen sized and LVGL will render into the correct location of the buffer. This way the buffer always contain the whole image. Only the changed ares will be updated. With 2 buffers the buffers' content are kept in sync automatically and in flush_cb only address change is required.

enumerator LV_DISPLAY_RENDER_MODE_FULL

Always redraw the whole screen even if only one pixel has been changed. With 2 buffers in flush_cb only and address change is required.

Functions

lv_display_t *lv_display_create(lv_coord_t hor_res, lv_coord_t ver_res)

Create a new display with the given resolution

Parameters:
  • hor_res -- horizontal resolution in pixels

  • ver_res -- vertical resolution in pixels

Returns:

pointer to a display object or NULL on error

void lv_display_remove(lv_display_t *disp)

Remove a display

Parameters:

disp -- pointer to display

void lv_display_set_default(lv_display_t *disp)

Set a default display. The new screens will be created on it by default.

Parameters:

disp -- pointer to a display

lv_display_t *lv_display_get_default(void)

Get the default display

Returns:

pointer to the default display

lv_display_t *lv_display_get_next(lv_display_t *disp)

Get the next display.

Parameters:

disp -- pointer to the current display. NULL to initialize.

Returns:

the next display or NULL if no more. Gives the first display when the parameter is NULL.

void lv_display_set_resolution(lv_display_t *disp, lv_coord_t hor_res, lv_coord_t ver_res)

Sets the resolution of a display. LV_EVENT_RESOLUTION_CHANGED event will be sent. Here the native resolution of the device should be set. If the display will be rotated later with lv_display_set_rotation LVGL will swap the hor. and ver. resolution automatically.
