[osg-users] Visualization problem on iMac 5K

[Stefan Buschmann]

Hi,

that's a typical error when working with high-resolution (retina) 
displays. The issue here is that on the high-resolution devices, the UI 
operates with a virtual pixel size that is smaller than the real number 
of pixels on the device. For example, you get coordinates from 0 to 2048 
while the real device resolution if 4096 pixels. This factor has to be 
taken into account when mapping from window coordinates to OpenGL, e.g., 
when calling glViewport.

How you can get this factor depends on the GUI library you are using. In 
Qt, you can query it with QWindow::devicePixelRatio():
   http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qwindow.html#devicePixelRatio

So, there should be something like
   glViewport(0, 0, window->width() * window->devicePixelRatio(), 
window->height() * window->devicePixelRatio()).

Also keep in mind that you have to do the same e.g. for mouse coordinates.

I think osgQt already handles this correctly, so you shouldn't have to 
worry about this if you use the classes provided by osgQt ...

Regards,

Stefan
