pixelDensity(2) in P2D/P3D makes sketch run at scaled down 1/4 the windows size outside Processing IDE

[gabrielsalvador]

When not using the processing IDE, thus creating a sketch by extending the PApplet class in inteliJ, when I try to run the sketch at a higher pixel density I get this:

Also it outputs the following to the console: "The sketch has been resized from 1280x820 to 640x410 by the operating system. This happened outside Processing, and may be a limitation of the OS or window manager."

I'm on macOS 13 on apple silicon and i'm using the version 4.3's jars downloaded from the website.

I am willing to investigate and work out a fix for this, I just need some guidance as I'm not familiar with the code base.

I'm not a specialist of IntelliJ. Are you set the rendering or displaying in IntelliJ or in Processing ? Because if you set the size out of the Processing, maybe Processing don't know this information. I remenber I had a similar problem when I play with the shader and the PGraphics... to solve I just multiply my size by pixelDensity... Are you ask on the forum?

i'm doing this:

public class Sinesthesia extends PApplet {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        PApplet.main("me.gabrielsalvador.core.Sinesthesia");
    }

    public void settings() {
        size(1280,820, P2D);
        pixelDensity(displayDensity());
    }
            .
            .
            .
}

I'm not on the forum, should I be?

for the forum go to https://discourse.processing.org/ it's a good place for discussion or coding problem. Here it's for the bugs or improvement of core code.

About your code when I read pixelDensity(displayDensity()); that's smell weird. Because you try to pass the current displayDensity() to the function pixelDensity(int arg); try to println(displayDensity()) before and after, to see something change. I think no, I suppose the result return 2 in both of case.

public void settings() {
        size(1280,820, P2D);
        println(displayDensity());
        pixelDensity(displayDensity());
        println(displayDensity());
    }

Look https://processing.org/reference/pixelDensity_.html for more detail

As @knupel mentions, this is a better discussion for the forum until there's an actual bug identified. I haven't seen this when I build apps in IntelliJ and cannot support every configuration that might be in place.

As for things to try, I'd look into whether calling System.setProperty("sun.java2d.uiScale.enabled", "false"); (or setting to true) before calling PApplet.main() does anything, or System.setProperty("sun.java2d.uiScale", "2") (or 1) and see if you can get the results you want.

this fixed it

Which exact setting fixed it?
