A small python xrandr library. It is written as a wrapper around xrandr command line tool.
usage: pyrandrcli.py [-h] [--output OUTPUT] [--mode MODE | --auto] [--off]
[--dry-run] [--primary]
[--rotate {normal,left,right,inverted}]
[--left-of OUTPUT | --right-of OUTPUT | --above OUTPUT | --below OUTPUT | --same-as OUTPUT]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--output OUTPUT Selects an output to reconfigure.
--mode MODE Sets a resolution for the selected output
--auto Selects default resolution for the output.
--off Disables the output
--dry-run Prints the generated cmdline
--primary Set the output as primary
--rotate {normal,left,right,inverted}
Rotate the output content in the specified direction
Position the output:
Use one of these options to position the output relative to the position
of another output.
--left-of OUTPUT
--right-of OUTPUT
--above OUTPUT
--below OUTPUT
--same-as OUTPUT
Have a look at the source of examples/pyrandrcli to learn how to use it.
But it basically boils down to this;
import pyrandr as randr
# get connected screens
cs = randr.connected_screens()[0]
# available resolutions as a tuple in the form of (width, height)
reslist = cs.available_resolutions()
cs.set_resolution((1024, 768))
cs.set_as_primary(True)
# rotate output contents by 90 degrees in the clockwise direction
cs.rotate(RotateDirection.Right)
cs.apply_settings()
