robot simulator on high dpi devices #84

Closed ariovistus closed 4 years ago

ariovistus commented 7 years ago

running the pygame based simulator on a high dpi laptop, the window is really small. Is there a way to increase the size?

I tried something like

    root.tk.call('tk', 'scaling', 4.0)

inside pyfrc/sim/ui.py, but it seemed to have no effect

Honestly, I don't know enough about tk to know the answer to this -- though that solution showed up in my very brief google search for an answer. Let us know if you figure it out!

From what I can tell, that solution works in the exact opposite direction to what I expected. I have no idea how Tk works either, so who knows what's going on there.

It looks like IDLE do things on HiDPI displays now. We could borrow from there, I guess. https://bugs.python.org/issue31500

We have the opposite problem. A few people have laptops with smaller/lower resolution screens (like 1366x768) and the simulator doesn't fit on the screen. You can't see the game data at all, for example.

I did end up finding a workaround for high dpi on fedora: install xpra, xorg-x11-server-Xvfb, then this script: https://github.com/kaueraal/run_scaled will scale the sim ui to a usable size
