Gets the width in pixels of the window.

The graphics coordinate system and love.graphics.getWidth use units scaled by the screen's DPI scale factor, rather than raw pixels. Use getWidth for calculations related to drawing and using the 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).

Function

Synopsis

pixelwidth = love.graphics.getPixelWidth( )

Arguments

None.

number pixelwidth
The width of the window in pixels.
