Surface.getScale

Returns the internal scale that maps from surface coordinates to the actual device pixels.

When the scale is bigger than 1, the windowing system prefers to get buffers with a resolution that is bigger than the surface size (e.g. to show the surface on a high-resolution display, or in a magnifier).

Compare with gdk.surface.Surface.getScaleFactor, which returns the next larger integer.

The scale may change during the lifetime of the surface.
