+The scaling multiplier applied to the entire output, in support of high
+resolution ("HiDPI" or "retina") displays, that roughly corresponds to the
+pixel ratio of the display's physical resolution to the logical resolution.
+Applications that do not support high resolution displays typically appear tiny
+and unreadable. Weston will scale the output of such applications by this
+multiplier, to make them readable. Applications that do support their own output
+scaling can draw their content in high resolution, in which case they avoid
+compositor scaling. Weston will not scale the output of such applications, and
+they are not affected by this multiplier.
