Returns the height of the given screen (monitor).Arguments
- int num - Screen number.
Return value
Height of the screen.int engine.interface.getScreenPositionX(int num)
Returns the position of the given screen (monitor) in a horizontal row in the screen space. If there are two monitors arranged horizontally, the X-coordinate position of the first monitor is 0 and of the second one, for example, 1280.Arguments
- int num - Screen number.
Return value
X-coordinate position of the screen.int engine.interface.getScreenPositionY(int num)
Returns the position of the given screen (monitor) in a vertical column in the screen space. If there are two monitors arranged vertically, the Y-coordinate position of the first monitor is 0 and of the second one, for example, 1024.Arguments
- int num - Screen number.
Return value
Y-coordinate position of the screen.int engine.interface.getScreenWidth(int num)
Returns the width of the given screen (monitor).Arguments
- int num - Screen number.
Return value
Width of the screen.int engine.interface.getVisiblePositionX(int x, int width, int border_x)
Checks if the window of the given width is visible on a screen with the specified border at the given coordinate. If the window is visible, its position will remain the same. Otherwise, it will be updated in order to make the window visible (taking into account the size of the vertical border).Arguments
- int x - X coordinate in the screen space.
- int width - Window width.
- int border_x - Horizontal border size.
Return value
The given X coordinate if the window is visible; otherwise, the X coordinate, at which the window will be visible.int engine.interface.getVisiblePositionY(int y, int height, int border_y)
Checks if the window of the given height is visible on a screen with the specified border at the given coordinate. If the window is visible, its position will remain the same. Otherwise, it will be updated in order to make the window visible (taking into account the size of the vertical border).Arguments
- int y - Y coordinate in the screen space.
- int height - Window height.
- int border_y - Vertical border size.
Return value
