\class QDesktopWidget
\brief The QDesktopWidget class provides access to screen information on multi-head systems.
\ingroup advanced
\ingroup desktop
\ingroup environment
\mainclass
QApplication::desktop() function should be used to get an instance
of the QDesktopWidget.
Systems with more than one graphics card and monitor can manage the
physical screen space available either as multiple desktops, or as a
large virtual desktop, which usually has the size of the bounding
rectangle of all the screens (see virtualDesktop). For an
application, one of the available screens is the primary screen, i.e.
the screen where the main widget resides (see primaryScreen). All
windows opened in the context of the application should be
constrained to the boundaries of the primary screen; for example,
it would be inconvenient if a dialog box popped up on a different
screen, or split over two screens.
The QDesktopWidget provides information about the geometry of the
available screens with screenGeometry(). The number of screens
available is returned by screenCount, and the screenCountChanged
signal is emitted when screens are added or removed during runtime.
The screen number that a particular point or widget is located in
is returned by screenNumber().
Widgets provided by Qt use this class, for example, to place
tooltips, menus and dialog boxes according to the parent or
application widget. Applications can use this class to save window
positions, or to place child widgets and dialogs on one particular
screen.
\img qdesktopwidget.png Managing Multiple Screens
In the illustration above, Application One's primary screen is
screen 0, and App Two's primary screen is screen 1.
\target multiple screens note
\note QDesktopWidget inherits the QWidget properties, width() and
height(), which specify the size of the desktop. However, for
desktops with multiple screens, the size of the desktop is the union
of all the screen sizes, so width() and height() should \e not be
used for computing the size of a widget to be placed on one of the
screens. The correct width and height values are obtained using
availableGeometry() or screenGeometry() for a particular screen.
\sa QApplication, QApplication::desktop(), QX11Info::appRootWindow()
*/
/*!
\fn QDesktopWidget::QDesktopWidget()
\internal
Creates the desktop widget.
If the system supports a virtual desktop, this widget will have
the size of the virtual desktop; otherwise this widget will have
the size of the primary screen.
Instead of using QDesktopWidget directly, use QApplication::desktop().
*/
/*!
\fn QDesktopWidget::~QDesktopWidget()
\internal
Destroys the desktop widget and frees any allocated resources.
*/
/*!
\fn int QDesktopWidget::numScreens() const
Returns the number of available screens.
\obsolete
This function is deprecated. Use screenCount instead.
\sa primaryScreen
*/
/*!
\fn QWidget *QDesktopWidget::screen(int screen)
Returns a widget that represents the screen with index \a screen
(a value of -1 means the default screen).
If the system uses a virtual desktop, the returned widget will
have the geometry of the entire virtual desktop; i.e., bounding
every \a screen.
\sa primaryScreen, screenCount, virtualDesktop
*/
/*!
\fn const QRect QDesktopWidget::availableGeometry(int screen) const
Returns the available geometry of the screen with index \a screen. What
is available will be subrect of screenGeometry() based on what the
platform decides is available (for example excludes the dock and menu bar
on Mac OS X, or the task bar on Windows). The default screen is used if
\a screen is -1.
\sa screenNumber(), screenGeometry()
*/

\overload
Returns the available geometry of the screen which contains \a widget.

\overload
Returns the available geometry of the screen which contains \a p.
\sa screenGeometry()

\fn const QRect QDesktopWidget::screenGeometry(int screen) const
Returns the geometry of the screen with index \a screen. The default
screen is used if \a screen is -1.

\fn const QRect QDesktopWidget::screenGeometry(const QWidget *widget) const
\overload
Returns the geometry of the screen which contains \a widget.

\fn const QRect QDesktopWidget::screenGeometry(const QPoint &p) const
\overload
Returns the geometry of the screen which contains \a p.

\fn int QDesktopWidget::screenNumber(const QWidget *widget) const
Returns the index of the screen that contains the largest
part of \a widget, or -1 if the widget not on a screen.
\sa primaryScreen
*/
/*!
\fn int QDesktopWidget::screenNumber(const QPoint &point) const
\overload
Returns the index of the screen that contains the \a point, or the
screen which is the shortest distance from the \a point.

*/
/*!
\fn void QDesktopWidget::resized(int screen)
This signal is emitted when the size of \a screen changes.
*/
/*!
\fn void QDesktopWidget::workAreaResized(int screen)
This signal is emitted when the work area available on \a screen changes.
*/
/*!
\property QDesktopWidget::screenCount
\brief the number of screens currently available on the system.

\sa screenCountChanged()
*/
/*!
\property QDesktopWidget::primaryScreen
\brief the index of the screen that is configured to be the primary screen
on the system.
*/
/*!
\property QDesktopWidget::virtualDesktop
\brief if the system manages the available screens in a virtual desktop.
For virtual desktops, screen() will always return the same widget.
The size of the virtual desktop is the size of this desktop
widget.
*/
/*!
\fn void QDesktopWidget::screenCountChanged(int newCount)
\since 4.6
This signal is emitted when the number of screens changes to \a newCount.
