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

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
