This protocol exposes interfaces to obtain and modify output device configuration. Warning! The protocol described in this file is experimental and backward incompatible changes may be made. Backward compatible changes may be added together with the corresponding interface version bump. Backward incompatible changes are done by bumping the version number in the protocol and interface names and resetting the interface version. Once the protocol is to be declared stable, the 'z' prefix and the version number in the protocol and interface names are removed and the interface version number is reset. This interface is a manager that allows reading and writing the current output device configuration. Output devices that display pixels (e.g. a physical monitor or a virtual output in a window) are represented as heads. Heads cannot be created nor destroyed by the client, but they can be enabled or disabled and their properties can be changed. Each head may have one or more available modes. Whenever a head appears (e.g. a monitor is plugged in), it will be advertised via the head event. Immediately after the output manager is bound, all current heads are advertised. Whenever a head's properties change, the relevant wlr_output_head events will be sent. Not all head properties will be sent: only properties that have changed need to. Whenever a head disappears (e.g. a monitor is unplugged), a wlr_output_head.finished event will be sent. After one or more heads appear, change or disappear, the done event will be sent. It carries a serial which can be used in a create_configuration request to update heads properties. The information obtained from this protocol should only be used for output configuration purposes. This protocol is not designed to be a generic output property advertisement protocol for regular clients. Instead, protocols such as xdg-output should be used. This event introduces a new head. This happens whenever a new head appears (e.g. a monitor is plugged in) or after the output manager is bound. This event is sent after all information has been sent after binding to the output manager object and after any subsequent changes. This applies to child head and mode objects as well. In other words, this event is sent whenever a head or mode is created or destroyed and whenever one of their properties has been changed. Not all state is re-sent each time the current configuration changes: only the actual changes are sent. This allows changes to the output configuration to be seen as atomic, even if they happen via multiple events. A serial is sent to be used in a future create_configuration request. Create a new output configuration object. This allows to update head properties. Indicates the client no longer wishes to receive events for output configuration changes. However the compositor may emit further events, until the finished event is emitted. The client must not send any more requests after this one. This event indicates that the compositor is done sending manager events. The compositor will destroy the object immediately after sending this event, so it will become invalid and the client should release any resources associated with it. A head is an output device. The difference between a wl_output object and a head is that heads are advertised even if they are turned off. A head object only advertises properties and cannot be used directly to change them. A head has some read-only properties: modes, name, description and physical_size. These cannot be changed by clients. Other properties can be updated via a wlr_output_configuration object. Properties sent via this interface are applied atomically via the wlr_output_manager.done event. No guarantees are made regarding the order in which properties are sent. This event describes the head name. The naming convention is compositor defined, but limited to alphanumeric characters and dashes (-). Each name is unique among all wlr_output_head objects, but if a wlr_output_head object is destroyed the same name may be reused later. The names will also remain consistent across sessions with the same hardware and software configuration. Examples of names include 'HDMI-A-1', 'WL-1', 'X11-1', etc. However, do not assume that the name is a reflection of an underlying DRM connector, X11 connection, etc. If the compositor implements the xdg-output protocol and this head is enabled, the xdg_output.name event must report the same name. The name event is sent after a wlr_output_head object is created. This event is only sent once per object, and the name does not change over the lifetime of the wlr_output_head object. This event describes a human-readable description of the head. The description is a UTF-8 string with no convention defined for its contents. Examples might include 'Foocorp 11" Display' or 'Virtual X11 output via :1'. However, do not assume that the name is a reflection of the make, model, serial of the underlying DRM connector or the display name of the underlying X11 connection, etc. If the compositor implements xdg-output and this head is enabled, the xdg_output.description must report the same description. The description event is sent after a wlr_output_head object is created. This event is only sent once per object, and the description does not change over the lifetime of the wlr_output_head object. This event describes the physical size of the head. This event is only sent if the head has a physical size (e.g. is not a projector or a virtual device). This event introduces a mode for this head. It is sent once per supported mode. This event describes whether the head is enabled. A disabled head is not mapped to a region of the global compositor space. When a head is disabled, some properties (current_mode, position, transform and scale) are irrelevant. This event describes the mode currently in use for this head. It is only sent if the output is enabled. This events describes the position of the head in the global compositor space. It is only sent if the output is enabled. This event describes the transformation currently applied to the head. It is only sent if the output is enabled. This events describes the scale of the head in the global compositor space. It is only sent if the output is enabled. The compositor will destroy the object immediately after sending this event, so it will become invalid and the client should release any resources associated with it. This object describes an output mode. Some heads don't support output modes, in which case modes won't be advertised. Properties sent via this interface are applied atomically via the wlr_output_manager.done event. No guarantees are made regarding the order in which properties are sent. This event describes the mode size. The size is given in physical hardware units of the output device. This is not necessarily the same as the output size in the global compositor space. For instance, the output may be scaled or transformed. This event describes the mode's fixed vertical refresh rate. It is only sent if the mode has a fixed refresh rate. This event advertises this mode as preferred. The compositor will destroy the object immediately after sending this event, so it will become invalid and the client should release any resources associated with it. This object is used by the client to describe a full output configuration. First, the client needs to setup the output configuration. Each head can be either enabled (and configured) or disabled. It is a protocol error to send two enable_head or disable_head requests with the same head. It is a protocol error to omit a head in a configuration. Then, the client can apply or test the configuration. The compositor will then reply with a succeeded, failed or cancelled event. Finally the client should destroy the configuration object. Enable a head. This request creates a head configuration object that can be used to change the head's properties. Disable a head. Apply the new output configuration. In case the configuration is successfully applied, there is no guarantee that the new output state matches completely the requested configuration. For instance, a compositor might round the scale if it doesn't support fractional scaling. After this request has been sent, the compositor must respond with an succeeded, failed or cancelled event. Sending a request that isn't the destructor is a protocol error. Test the new output configuration. The configuration won't be applied, but will only be validated. Even if the compositor succeeds to test a configuration, applying it may fail. After this request has been sent, the compositor must respond with an succeeded, failed or cancelled event. Sending a request that isn't the destructor is a protocol error. Sent after the compositor has successfully applied the changes or tested them. Upon receiving this event, the client should destroy this object. If the current configuration has changed, events to describe the changes will be sent followed by a wlr_output_manager.done event. Sent if the compositor rejects the changes or failed to apply them. The compositor should revert any changes made by the apply request that triggered this event. Upon receiving this event, the client should destroy this object. Sent if the compositor cancels the configuration because the state of an output changed and the client has outdated information (e.g. after an output has been hotplugged). The client can create a new configuration with a newer serial and try again. Upon receiving this event, the client should destroy this object. Using this request a client can tell the compositor that it is not going to use the configuration object anymore. Any changes to the outputs that have not been applied will be discarded. This request also destroys wlr_output_configuration_head objects created via this object. This object is used by the client to update a single head's configuration. It is a protocol error to set the same property twice. This request sets the head's mode. This request assigns a custom mode to the head. The size is given in physical hardware units of the output device. If set to zero, the refresh rate is unspecified. It is a protocol error to set both a mode and a custom mode. This request sets the head's position in the global compositor space. This request sets the head's transform. This request sets the head's scale.
