Getting current screen resolution

[Thomas Morton]

This is a "thing" that has been annoying me all morning: and I can't
work out how to do it.

I need a way to get the DPI or screen resolution of the monitor that a
script is currently runnign on.

I have a way in Windows but it doesnt port to Unix (which is important).

Any ideas?

Hello,

This is a "thing" that has been annoying me all morning: and I can't
work out how to do it.

I need a way to get the DPI or screen resolution of the monitor that a
script is currently runnign on.

I have a way in Windows but it doesnt port to Unix (which is important).

Any ideas?

Maybe one of Tkinter.Tk winfo_* methods?

HTH,

Yeh that's not such an issue - this is for some basic image analysis for a
document / report. It's not HUGELY important data (it can be wrong with no
real come back) but it has to be roughly accurate...

The idea is I have an image and I need to work out how big it displays on
the monitor of the computer running the script

Thanks for the replies so far ppl I think I might have it.......
