java & fullscreen over multiple monitors

Question

A snippet from my Java application:

 JFrame f = new JFrame();
 GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
 GraphicsDevice gd         


        

Answer 1

A more general solution to Ash's code is to union the bounds of all the graphics configurations

Rectangle2D result = new Rectangle2D.Double();
GraphicsEnvironment localGE = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
for (GraphicsDevice gd : localGE.getScreenDevices()) {
  for (GraphicsConfiguration graphicsConfiguration : gd.getConfigurations()) {
    result.union(result, graphicsConfiguration.getBounds(), result);
  }
}
f.setSize(result.getWidth(), result.getHeight());

This will work for vertically aligned monitors as well as horizontal.
