Class pyglet.window.Screen

A virtual monitor that supports fullscreen windows.

Screens typically map onto a physical display such as a monitor, television or projector. Selecting a screen for a window has no effect unless the window is made fullscreen, in which case the window will fill only that particular virtual screen.

The width and height attributes of a screen give the current resolution of the screen. The x and y attributes give the global location of the top-left corner of the screen. This is useful for determining if screens arranged above or next to one another.

You cannot always rely on the origin to give the placement of monitors. For example, an X server with two displays without Xinerama enabled will present two logically separate screens with no relation to each other.

Use Display.get_screens or Display.get_default_screen to obtain an instance of this class.
