Class DisplayMode

java.lang.Object

java.awt.DisplayMode

public final class DisplayMode
extends Object

The DisplayMode class encapsulates the bit depth, height, width, and refresh rate of a GraphicsDevice. The ability to change graphics device's display mode is platform- and configuration-dependent and may not always be available (see GraphicsDevice.isDisplayChangeSupported()).

For more information on full-screen exclusive mode API, see the Full-Screen Exclusive Mode API Tutorial.

DisplayMode

public DisplayMode(int width,
 int height,
 int bitDepth,
 int refreshRate)

Create a new display mode object with the supplied parameters.

Parameters:

width - the width of the display, in pixels

height - the height of the display, in pixels

bitDepth - the bit depth of the display, in bits per pixel. This can be BIT_DEPTH_MULTI if multiple bit depths are available.

refreshRate - the refresh rate of the display, in hertz. This can be REFRESH_RATE_UNKNOWN if the information is not available.
