Re: Monitor resolution

Hi All

OK another simple question.
How do I get monitor resolution and screen bounds?

I'm sure it is simple - I just can't find it :)

Thanks
Oakley

Here is an old message:

I'd like to get the dimensions of the visible region of the main
monitor. Something like this:

         set mainScreen to call method "mainScreen" of class "NSScreen"
         set [x1, y2, x2, y2] to call method "visibleFrame" of mainScreen

I'd like to do this in a vanilla script, not within AppleStudio. I
looked in Standard Additions but didn't see it there.


Your best bet is to get cscreen, available at
<http://browsershots.org/downloads/thirdparty/cscreen.dmg>, put it into
/usr/local/bin/, and use the command: do shell script "/usr/local/bin/cscreen".
The help command for csreen is:

cscreen -h
Usage: cscreen [-d <depth>] [-x <width>] [-y <height>] [-r <refresh>] [-s
<display>] [-v] [-m] [-f] [-l] [-h]
  [-d <depth>]   : specifies the bit depth (bits per pixel)
  [-x <width>]   : specifies the width in pixels
  [-y <height>]  : specifies the height in pixels
  [-r <refresh>] : specifies the refresh rate in Hz
  [-s <display>] : specifies which display to use (defaults to main display)
                   use a as the option to -s to specify the action on all
displays
  [-v]           : display valid modes (use -s to specify display or nothing
for the default)
  [-m]           : require an exact match
  [-f]           : forcessettings (ignores safety mechanisms; USE AT YOUR OWN
RISK)
  [-l]           : lists the current displays and modes
  [-p]           : sets the requested display to be the primary display
  [-h]           : displays the usage

Sample output:

1 display found
Index     Depth     Width     Height  Refresh(Hz; LCD displays show 0)
    1        32      1600       1200 75
