## Description

WebKitViewportAttributes offers the viewport properties to user agents to control the viewport layout. It contains the viewport size, initial scale with limits, and information about whether a user is able to scale the contents in the viewport. This makes a web page fit the device screen.

The “viewport-attributes-changed” signal will be emitted with WebKitViewportAttributes when the viewport attributes are updated in the case of loading web pages contain the viewport properties and calling webkit_viewport_attributes_recompute.

If the device size, available size, desktop width, or device DPI needs to be changed due to a consequence of an explicit browser request (caused by screen rotation, resizing, or similar reasons), You should call webkit_viewport_attributes_recompute to recompute the viewport properties and override those values in the handler of “viewport-attributes-recompute-requested” signal.

For more information on the viewport properties, refer to the Safari reference library at http://developer.apple.com/safari/library/documentation/appleapplications/reference/safarihtmlref/articles/metatags.html

## Functions

### webkit_viewport_attributes_recompute ()

    void
    webkit_viewport_attributes_recompute (WebKitViewportAttributes *viewportAttributes);

Recompute the optimal viewport attributes and emit the viewport-attribute-changed signal. The viewport-attributes-recompute-requested signal also will be handled to override the device size, available size, desktop width, or device DPI.

#### Parameters
