//! UI scaling is important, so read the docs for this module if you don't want to be confused.
//!
//! ## Why should I care about UI scaling?
//!
//! Modern computer screens don't have a consistent relationship between resolution and size.
//! 1920x1080 is a common resolution for both desktop and mobile screens, despite mobile screens
//! normally being less than a quarter the size of their desktop counterparts. What's more, neither
//! desktop nor mobile screens are consistent resolutions within their own size classes - common
//! mobile screens range from below 720p to above 1440p, and desktop screens range from 720p to 5K
//! and beyond.
//!
//! Given that, it's a mistake to assume that 2D content will only be displayed on screens with
//! a consistent pixel density. If you were to render a 96-pixel-square image on a 1080p screen,
//! then render the same image on a similarly-sized 4K screen, the 4K rendition would only take up
//! about a quarter of the physical space as it did on the 1080p screen. That issue is especially
//! problematic with text rendering, where quarter-sized text becomes a significant legibility
//! problem.
//!
//! Failure to account for the scale factor can create a significantly degraded user experience.
//! Most notably, it can make users feel like they have bad eyesight, which will potentially cause
//! them to think about growing elderly, resulting in them having an existential crisis. Once users
//! enter that state, they will no longer be focused on your application.
//!
//! ## How should I handle it?
//!
//! The solution to this problem is to account for the device's *scale factor*. The scale factor is
//! the factor UI elements should be scaled by to be consistent with the rest of the user's system -
//! for example, a button that's normally 50 pixels across would be 100 pixels across on a device
//! with a scale factor of `2.0`, or 75 pixels across with a scale factor of `1.5`.
//!
//! The scale factor correlates with, but no has direct relationship to, the screen's actual DPI
//! (dots per inch). Operating systems used to define the scale factor in terms of the screen's
//! approximate DPI (at the time, 72 pixels per inch), but [Microsoft decided to report that the DPI
//! was roughly 1/3 bigger than the screen's actual DPI (so, 96 pixels per inch) in order to make
//! text more legible][microsoft_dpi]. As a result, the exact DPI as defined by the OS doesn't carry
//! a whole lot of weight when designing cross-platform UIs. Scaled pixels should generally be used
//! as the base unit for on-screen UI measurement, instead of DPI-dependent units such as
//! [points][points] or [picas][picas].
//!
//! ### Position and Size types
//!
//! Winit's `Physical(Position|Size)` types correspond with the actual pixels on the device, and the
//! `Logical(Position|Size)` types correspond to the physical pixels divided by the scale factor.
//! All of Winit's functions return physical types, but can take either logical or physical
//! coordinates as input, allowing you to use the most convenient coordinate system for your
//! particular application.
//!
//! Winit's position and size types types are generic over their exact pixel type, `P`, to allow the
//! API to have integer precision where appropriate (e.g. most window manipulation functions) and
//! floating precision when necessary (e.g. logical sizes for fractional scale factors and touch
//! input). If `P` is a floating-point type, please do not cast the values with `as {int}`. Doing so
//! will truncate the fractional part of the float, rather than properly round to the nearest
//! integer. Use the provided `cast` function or `From`/`Into` conversions, which handle the
//! rounding properly. Note that precision loss will still occur when rounding from a float to an
//! int, although rounding lessens the problem.
//!
//! ### Events
//!
//! Winit will dispatch a [`DpiChanged`](crate::event::WindowEvent::DpiChanged)
//! event whenever a window's scale factor has changed. This can happen if the user drags their
//! window from a standard-resolution monitor to a high-DPI monitor, or if the user changes their
//! DPI settings. This gives you a chance to rescale your application's UI elements and adjust how
//! the platform changes the window's size to reflect the new scale factor. If a window hasn't
//! received a [`DpiChanged`](crate::event::WindowEvent::DpiChanged) event,
//! then its scale factor is `1.0`.
//!
//! ## How is the scale factor calculated?
//!
//! Scale factor is calculated differently on different platforms:
//!
//! - **Windows:** On Windows 8 and 10, per-monitor scaling is readily configured by users from the
//! display settings. While users are free to select any option they want, they're only given a
//! selection of "nice" scale factors, i.e. 1.0, 1.25, 1.5... on Windows 7, the scale factor is
//! global and changing it requires logging out. See [this article][windows_1] for technical
//! details.
//! - **macOS:** "retina displays" have a scale factor of 2.0. Otherwise, the scale factor is 1.0.
//! Intermediate scale factors are never used. It's possible for any display to use that 2.0 scale
//! factor, given the use of the command line.
//! - **X11:** Many man-hours have been spent trying to figure out how to handle DPI in X11. Winit
//! currently uses a three-pronged approach:
//! + Use the value in the `WINIT_X11_SCALE_FACTOR` environment variable, if present.
//! + If not present, use the value set in `Xft.dpi` in Xresources.
//! + Otherwise, calcuate the scale factor based on the millimeter monitor dimensions provided by XRandR.
//!
//! If `WINIT_X11_SCALE_FACTOR` is set to `randr`, it'll ignore the `Xft.dpi` field and use the
//! XRandR scaling method. Generally speaking, you should try to configure the standard system
//! variables to do what you want before resorting to `WINIT_X11_SCALE_FACTOR`.
//! - **Wayland:** On Wayland, scale factors are set per-screen by the server, and are always
//! integers (most often 1 or 2).
//! - **iOS:** Scale factors are set by Apple to the value that best suits the device, and range
//! from `1.0` to `3.0`. See [this article][apple_1] and [this article][apple_2] for more
//! information.
//! - **Android:** Scale factors are set by the manufacturer to the value that best suits the
//! device, and range from `1.0` to `4.0`. See [this article][android_1] for more information.
//! - **Web:** The scale factor is the ratio between CSS pixels and the physical device pixels.
