27  <description summary="Protocol to describe output regions">
28    This protocol aims at describing outputs in a way which is more in line
29    with the concept of an output on desktop oriented systems.
30
31    Some information are more specific to the concept of an output for
32    a desktop oriented system and may not make sense in other applications,
33    such as IVI systems for example.
34
35    Typically, the global compositor space on a desktop system is made of
36    a contiguous or overlapping set of rectangular regions.
37
38    Some of the information provided in this protocol might be identical
39    to their counterparts already available from wl_output, in which case
40    the information provided by this protocol should be preferred to their
41    equivalent in wl_output. The goal is to move the desktop specific
42    concepts (such as output location within the global compositor space,
43    the connector name and types, etc.) out of the core wl_output protocol.
44
45    Warning! The protocol described in this file is experimental and
46    backward incompatible changes may be made. Backward compatible
47    changes may be added together with the corresponding interface
48    version bump.
49    Backward incompatible changes are done by bumping the version
50    number in the protocol and interface names and resetting the
51    interface version. Once the protocol is to be declared stable,
52    the 'z' prefix and the version number in the protocol and
53    interface names are removed and the interface version number is
54    reset.

107	of the output changes within the global compositor space.

116      <description summary="size of the output in the global compositor space">
117	The logical_size event describes the size of the output in the
118	global compositor space.
119
120	For example, a surface without any buffer scale, transformation
121	nor rotation set, with the size matching the logical_size will
122	have the same size as the corresponding output when displayed.
123
124	Most regular Wayland clients should not pay attention to the
125	logical size and would rather rely on xdg_shell interfaces.
126
127	Some clients such as Xwayland, however, need this to configure
128	their surfaces in the global compositor space as the compositor
129	may apply a different scale from what is advertised by the output
130	scaling property (to achieve fractional scaling, for example).
131
132	For example, for a wl_output mode 3840×2160 and a scale factor 2:
133
134	- A compositor not scaling the surface buffers will advertise a
135	  logical size of 3840×2160,
136
137	- A compositor automatically scaling the surface buffers will
138	  advertise a logical size of 1920×1080,
139
140	- A compositor using a fractional scale of 1.5 will advertise a
141	  logical size to 2560×1620.
142
143	For example, for a wl_output mode 1920×1080 and a 90 degree rotation,
144	the compositor will advertise a logical size of 1080x1920.
145
146	The logical_size event is sent after creating an xdg_output
147	(see xdg_output_manager.get_xdg_output) and whenever the logical
148	size of the output changes, either as a result of a change in the
149	applied scale or because of a change in the corresponding output
150	mode(see wl_output.mode) or transform (see wl_output.transform).

176	Many compositors will assign names to their outputs, show them to the
177	user, allow them to be configured by name, etc. The client may wish to
178	know this name as well to offer the user similar behaviors.
179
180	The naming convention is compositor defined, but limited to
181	alphanumeric characters and dashes (-). Each name is unique among all
182	wl_output globals, but if a wl_output global is destroyed the same name
183	may be reused later. The names will also remain consistent across
184	sessions with the same hardware and software configuration.
185
186	Examples of names include 'HDMI-A-1', 'WL-1', 'X11-1', etc. However, do
187	not assume that the name is a reflection of an underlying DRM
188	connector, X11 connection, etc.
189
190	The name event is sent after creating an xdg_output (see
191	xdg_output_manager.get_xdg_output). This event is only sent once per
192	xdg_output, and the name does not change over the lifetime of the

202	communicate the user for various purposes.
203
204	The description is a UTF-8 string with no convention defined for its
205	contents. Examples might include 'Foocorp 11" Display' or 'Virtual X11
206	output via :1'.
207
208	The description event is sent after creating an xdg_output (see
209	xdg_output_manager.get_xdg_output) and whenever the description
210	changes. The description is optional, and may not be sent at all.
211
212	For objects of version 2 and lower, this event is only sent once per
