Gets the width in pixels of the window.

love.graphics.getWidth gets the width of the window in units scaled by the screen's DPI scale factor, rather than pixels. Use getWidth for calculations related to drawing to the screen and using the graphics coordinate system (calculating the center of the screen, for example), and getPixelWidth only when dealing specifically with underlying pixels (pixel-related calculations in a pixel Shader, for example).
