From: Grzegorz Kowzan <grzegorz <at> kowzan.eu> To: bug-auctex <at> gnu.org Subject: 12.2.4; Wrong DPI calculation for mixed-DPI multi-monitor setups Date: Fri, 01 Jan 2021 14:42:36 +0100
preview-latex calculates DPI in `preview-get-geometry` by calling `display-pixel-width`, `display-mm-width` and analogous height-related functions. According to documentation: For graphical terminals, note that on "multi-monitor" setups this refers to the pixel width for all physical monitors associated with DISPLAY. To get information for each physical monitor, use display-monitor-attributes-list. This results in incorrent DPI values for multi-monitor setups with pure GTK fork of Emacs. Please see this comment (https://github.com/masm11/emacs/issues/90#issuecomment-753307864) on GitHub for specifics. As a suggested fix, I'm attaching below a version of `preview-get-geometry` that returns DPI for the monitor holding the active frame. This way of calculating DPI works correctly for current standard Emacs builds and for the pure GTK version of Emacs. (defun preview-get-dpi () (let* ((monitor-attrs (frame-monitor-attributes)) (mm-dims (cdr (assoc 'mm-size monitor-attrs))) (mm-width (nth 0 mm-dims)) (mm-height (nth 1 mm-dims)) (pixel-dims (cdddr (assoc 'geometry monitor-attrs))) (pixel-width (nth 0 pixel-dims)) (pixel-height (nth 1 pixel-dims))) (cons (/ (* 25.4 pixel-width) mm-width) (/ (* 25.4 pixel-height) mm-height)))) (defun preview-get-geometry () "Transfer display geometry parameters from current display. Returns list of scale, resolution and colors. Calculation is done in current buffer." (condition-case err (let* ((geometry (list (preview-hook-enquiry preview-scale-function) (preview-get-dpi) (preview-get-colors))) (preview-min-spec (* (cdr (nth 1 geometry)) (/ (preview-inherited-face-attribute 'preview-reference-face :height 'default) 720.0)))) (setq preview-icon (preview-make-image 'preview-icon-specs) preview-error-icon (preview-make-image 'preview-error-icon-specs) preview-nonready-icon (preview-make-image 'preview-nonready-icon-specs)) geometry) (error (error "Display geometry unavailable: %s" (error-message-string err))))) Emacs : GNU Emacs 28.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.24, cairo version 1.16.0) of 2020-12-30 Package: 12.2.4 current state: ============== (setq AUCTeX-version "12.2.4" LaTeX-command-style '(("" "%(PDF)%(latex) %(file-line-error) %(extraopts) %S%(PDFout)")) image-types '(svg png gif tiff jpeg xpm xbm pbm) preview-image-type 'png preview-image-creators '((dvipng (open preview-gs-open preview-dvipng-process-setup) (place preview-gs-place) (close preview-dvipng-close)) (png (open preview-gs-open) (place preview-gs-place) (close preview-gs-close)) (jpeg (open preview-gs-open) (place preview-gs-place) (close preview-gs-close)) (pnm (open preview-gs-open) (place preview-gs-place) (close preview-gs-close)) (tiff (open preview-gs-open) (place preview-gs-place) (close preview-gs-close)) ) preview-dvipng-image-type 'png preview-dvipng-command "dvipng -picky -noghostscript %d -o %m/prev%%03d.png" preview-pdf2dsc-command "pdf2dsc %s.pdf %m/preview.dsc" preview-gs-command "/usr/bin/rungs" preview-gs-options '("-q" "-dDELAYSAFER" "-dNOPAUSE" "-DNOPLATFONTS" "-dPrinted" "-dTextAlphaBits=4" "-dGraphicsAlphaBits=4") preview-gs-image-type-alist '((png png "-sDEVICE=png16m") (dvipng png "-sDEVICE=png16m") (jpeg jpeg "-sDEVICE=jpeg") (pnm pbm "-sDEVICE=pnmraw") (tiff tiff "-sDEVICE=tiff12nc")) preview-fast-conversion t preview-prefer-TeX-bb nil preview-dvips-command "dvips -Pwww -i -E %d -o %m/preview.000" preview-fast-dvips-command "dvips -Pwww %d -o %m/preview.ps" preview-scale-function 'texfrag-scale-from-face preview-LaTeX-command '("%`%l \"\\nonstopmode\\nofiles\\PassOptionsToPackage{" ("," . preview-required-option-list) "}{preview}\\AtBeginDocument{\\ifx\\ifPreview\\undefined" preview-default-preamble "\\fi}\"%' \"\\detokenize{\" %t \"}\"") preview-required-option-list '("active" "tightpage" "auctex" (preview-preserve-counters "counters")) preview-preserve-counters nil preview-default-option-list '("displaymath" "floats" "graphics" "textmath" "sections" "footnotes") preview-default-preamble '("\\RequirePackage[" ("," . preview-default-option-list) "]{preview}[2004/11/05]") preview-LaTeX-command-replacements nil preview-dump-replacements '(preview-LaTeX-command-replacements ("\\`\\([^ ]+\\)\\(?: +\\(?:\\(--?kanji[= ][^ ]+\\)\\|-\\(?:[^ \\\"]\\|\\\\.\\|\"[^\"]*\"\\)*\\)\\)*\\(.*\\)\\'" "\\1 -ini \\2 -interaction=nonstopmode \"&\\1\" " preview-format-name ".ini \\3") ) preview-undump-replacements '(("\\`\\([^ ]+\\)\\(?: +\\(?:\\(--?kanji[= ][^ ]+\\)\\|-\\(?:[^ \\\"]\\|\\\\.\\|\"[^\"]*\"\\)*\\)\\)*.* \"\\\\input\" \"\\\\detokenize{\" \\(.*\\) \"}\"\\'" "\\1 \\2 -interaction=nonstopmode -file-line-error " preview-format-name " \"/AUCTEXINPUT{\" \\3 \"}\"") ) preview-auto-cache-preamble 'ask preview-TeX-style-dir "/home/grz/.emacs.d/.local/straight/build-28.0.50/auctex/latex" ) Output from running `/usr/bin/rungs -h': GPL Ghostscript 9.53.3 (2020-10-01) Copyright (C) 2020 Artifex Software, Inc.

I get very different values with the old and new calculation on my current single laptop screen setup ((131.09677419354838 . 134.47058823529412) ;; New (96.07565011820331 . 96.05042016806723)) ;; Old so that by using your version, the previews are much larger than they used to be, i.e., their font size appears to be much larger than my normal editing font. This is with a current Emacs 28 (master branch, i.e., no pgtk) on a Wayland display. Could you please look into where this huge difference comes from? Here is what `frame-monitor-attributes' and `display-mm-width' / `display-mm-height' return here: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (frame-monitor-attributes) ;=> ((name .

So this would need to be fboundp-checked falling back to the calculation we have right now with a comment mentioning that this is for Emacs 24.3 compatibility and can be removed as soon as we bump compatibility to Emacs 24.4 or newer.

This is why we have this inconsistency. The standard DPI for Xorg server is 96 regardless of the actual value, so for a given resolution and assumed DPI Xorg gives fake mm width and height. Essentially, the current calculation of DPI in auctex looks pointless to me... With pure Gtk port we get actual physical pixel width/height and actual mm width/height, so I guess when auctex detects pgtk port, it can either ignore these values and hardcode DPI of 96 or make use of the actual DPI. I suppose there is something to be said for not changing auctex's behaviour and hardcoding the value, but I would prefer to use the actual DPI at least as an option (see below). 2) I don't know how it is for you and other auctex users or developers, but for me auctex previews are too small and barely legible out of the box unless I manually set a scaling factor. (And then change it manually if I switch between different monitors...) Using standard auctex settings, preview-scale-function set to preview-scale-from-face, I get something like this for my 4k external monitor (https://ibb.co/7kJ39sb) and something like this for my laptop (https://ibb.co/VSfrcg4). With the definition above, I get more sensibly scaled previews without adjusting the scaling factor by hand, see (https://ibb.co/B4PHWvV) and (https://ibb.co/KjKX3Jk). These screenshots are all from current Emacs master X11/Gtk. Best, Grzegorz

That's what I did. Essentially I've applied your patch with an additional fboundp check for `frame-monitor-attributes'. If it's available (24.4), then your variant is used, if not, the previous variant basically always saying 96 DPI is used. So let's see if we get any complaints with the next ELPA release. I'll close this report now. Thanks again for the contribution! Bye, Tassilo
