Is there a correspondent option in GLMakie for the px\_per\_unit in the CairoMakie?

To have good quality images (sharper) in a 4K display, I need to set px\_per\_unit=4 in CairoMakie.  
Currently (default configuration) the GLMakie produces blurred images

This is already in the works on the 0.20 beta branch, which will be the next version. You could try that one out in the meantime if you’re interested.
