width, height - screen size in pixels

Thanks very much. But, as you certainly know, the size of a pixel is computed as
screen width in mm / screen width in pixels and screen height in mm / screen height in pixels.


So the next question: How do I get the screen dimensions in mm (or any other length unit) ?

Or, if this is not possible: How can I get at least some unique identifier for an NSScreen (like "display of 12 inch G4 iBook" or: "Apple Studio Display Model xxx") ?

Kind regards

Gerriet.


Is there a way to get the size of a pixel (or dpi) of an NSScreen?

I am NOT interested in [NSScreen deviceDescription] which - obviously without making any real effort of getting at the truth - just returns an arbitrary value of 72 dpi for all screens.

So: is there some function somewhere which really tells the truth about screen resolution?
