Java9: HiDPI Graphics on Windows and Linux

As part of this, Java9 implements HiDPI (High Dots Per Inch) graphics on Windows and Linux. HiDPI displays are mostly found in High End Laptops and monitors.

 

These HiDPI displays has pixel densities 2 to 3 times as high as traditional displays. Because of this, GUI components in windows & Linux machines rendered as too small to read or effectively interact with.

 

Java already has support to HiDPI "retina displays" on Mac OS X. Same capability is added to Windows and Linux systems in Java9.
