    • getAvailableDisplayModes

      public static DisplayMode[] getAvailableDisplayModes(int minWidth, int minHeight, int maxWidth, int maxHeight, int minBPP, int maxBPP, int minFreq, int maxFreq) throws LWJGLException
      Determine the available display modes that match the specified minimum and maximum criteria. If any given criterium is specified as -1 then it is ignored.
      Parameters:
      minWidth - the minimum display resolution in pixels
      minHeight - the minimum display resolution in pixels
      maxWidth - the maximum display resolution in pixels
      maxHeight - the maximum display resolution in pixels
      minBPP - the minimum bit depth per pixel
      maxBPP - the maximum bit depth per pixel
      minFreq - the minimum display frequency in Hz
      maxFreq - the maximum display frequency in Hz
      Returns:
      an array of matching display modes
      Throws:
      LWJGLException
    • setDisplayMode

      public static DisplayMode setDisplayMode(DisplayMode[] dm, String[] param) throws Exception
      Create the display by choosing from a list of display modes based on an order of preference. You must supply a list of allowable display modes, probably by calling getAvailableDisplayModes(), and an array with the order in which you would like them sorted in descending order. This method attempts to create the topmost display mode; if that fails, it will try the next one, and so on, until there are no modes left. If no mode is set at the end, an exception is thrown.
      Parameters:
      dm - a list of display modes to choose from
      param - the names of the DisplayMode fields in the order in which you would like them sorted.
      Returns:
      the chosen display mode
      Throws:
      NoSuchFieldException - if one of the params is not a field in DisplayMode
      Exception - if no display mode could be set
