+High DPI Support in wxWidgets       {#overview_high_dpi}
+=============================
+[TOC]
+
+[comment]: # (Not sure if the first 2 sections are really worth keeping)
+
+Terms and Definitions
+=====================
+
+Many modern displays have much higher pixel density than used to be the norm,
+resulting in much higher values of DPI (dots, i.e. pixels, per inch) than the
+traditionally used values. While the DPI reported by the system is not exactly
+the same as the actual pixel density, i.e. it doesn't exactly correspond to the
+number of pixels on the screen divided by the screen physical dimension in
+inches, it still needs to change to roughly correspond to it.
+
+This system DPI value is typically expressed using a scaling factor, by which
+the baseline DPI value is multiplied. For example, MSW systems may use 125% or
+150% scaling, meaning that they use DPI of 120 or 144 respectively, as baseline
+DPI value is 96. Similarly, Linux systems may use "2x" scaling, resulting in
+DPI value of 192. Macs are slightly different, as even they also may use "2x"
+scaling, the effective DPI corresponding to it is 144, as the baseline value on
+this platform is 72.
+
+
+The Problem with High DPI Displays
+==================================
+
+If high DPI displays were treated in the same way as normal ones, existing
+applications would look tiny of them. For example, a square window 500 pixels
+in size would take half of a standard 1920×1080 ("Full HD") display vertically,
+but only a quarter on a 3840×2160 ("4K UHD") display. To prevent this from
+happening, most platforms automatically scale the windows by the scaling
+factor, defined above, when displaying them on high DPI displays. In this
+example, scaling factor is 2 and so the actual size of the window on screen
+would become 1000 when automatic scaling is in effect.
+
+Automatic scaling is convenient, but doesn't really allow the application to
+use the extra pixels available on the display. Visually, this means that the
+scaled application appears blurry, in contrast to sharper applications using
+the full display resolution, so a better solution is needed.
+
+
+Pixel Values in High DPI
+========================
+
+Some systems automatically scale all the coordinates by the DPI scaling factor,
+however not all systems supported by wxWidgets do it -- notably, MSW does not.
+This means that "logical pixels", in which all coordinates and sizes are
+expressed in wxWidgets API, do _not_ have the same meaning on all platforms
+when using high DPI displays. To hide this difference from the application,
+wxWidgets provides "device-independent pixels", abbreviated as "DIP", that are
+always of the same size on all displays and all platforms.
+
+Thus, the first thing do when preparing your application for high DPI support
+is to stop using raw pixel values. Actually, using any pixel values is not
+recommended and replacing them with the values based on the text metrics, i.e.
+obtained using wxWindow::GetTextExtent(), or expressing them in dialog units
+(see wxWindow::ConvertDialogToPixels()) is preferable. However the simplest
+change is to just replace the pixel values with the values in DIP: for this,
+just use wxWindow::FromDIP() to convert from one to the other.
+
+For example, if you have the existing code:
+```cpp
+myFrame->SetClientSize(wxSize(400, 300));
+```
+you can just replace it with
+```cpp
+myFrame->SetClientSize(myFrame->FromDIP(wxSize(400, 300)));
+```
+
+
+Physical Pixels
+===============
+
+In addition to (logical) pixels and DIPs discussed above, you may also need to
+work in physical pixel coordinates, corresponding to the actual display pixels.
+Physical pixels are never scaled, on any platform, and must be used when
+drawing graphics elements to ensure that the best possible resolution is used.
+For example, all operations on wxGLCanvas use physical pixels.
+
+To convert between logical and physical pixels, you can use
+wxWindow::GetContentScaleFactor(): this is a value greater than or equal to 1,
+so a value in logical pixels needs to be multiplied by it in order to obtain
+the value in physical pixels.
+
+For example, in a wxGLCanvas created with the size of 100 (logical) pixels, the
+rightmost physical pixel coordinate will be `100*GetContentScaleFactor()`.
+
+
+
+Platform-Specific Build Issues
+==============================
+
+Generally speaking, all systems handle applications not specifically marked as
+being "DPI-aware" by emulating low-resolution display for them and scaling them
+up, resulting in blurry graphics and fonts, but globally preserving the
+application appearance. For the best results, the application needs to be
+explicitly marked as DPI-aware in a platform-dependent way.
+
+MSW
+---
+
+The behaviour of the application when running on a high-DPI display depends on
+the values in its [manifest][1]. If your application include `wx/msw/wx.rc`
+from its resource file, you need to predefine `wxUSE_DPI_AWARE_MANIFEST` to
+opt-in into high DPI support: define it as `1` for minimal DPI awareness and
+`2` for full, per-monitor DPI awareness supported by Windows 10 version 1703 or
+later.

+
+DPI-aware applications must set their `NSPrincipalClass` to `wxNSApplication`
+(or at least `NSApplication`) in their `Info.plist` file. Also see Apple [high
+resolution guidelines][2] for more information.
