Found this under the 'print' entry in the Rev Dictionary:
'The pageRect is the rectangle into which the card is printed, and
consists of four integers separated by commas: the left, top, right, and
bottom edges of the printed card, in points. (There are 72 points to an

I have a survey instrument which can require interface elements to have
exact physical lengths, especially a visual analog scale that is
traditionally 10 cm. Not knowing what the screen settings will be on client
machines, I have for the time being put a button on the first screen of the
survey
Ok, what about attaching a scanner that you have already calibrated?
Should be easy to up the contrast and then scan for edges.
Another option would be to grab a pair of cheap electronic calipers and
hacking them onto a USB device to read the output values.
Alternatively: Hack a USB mouse and
Hello!
I'm working on a project and I would like to get the physical
screen size of the system. Is there a way to do this? I see how to
get many of the screen attributes...but as to physical siza...nadda.
A cheesy way to do this, I suppose, would be to display an object
when the app
screen size is of any importance.
Sometimes, it could be useful to adjust an application to the screen
resolution, e.g. if you are making a full-screen interface. The
physical screen size has nothing to do with this.
So, why would you want to do this?
Best,

Hi TIm,
Of course, you could make a few presets for the most common
resolutions, but you won't be able to create presets for all current
and future resolutions. Instead, I'd make a simple interface to
adjust the size of the working space on screen. I don't think that
people will mind
Hiya,
If you can determine the monitor type you could probe a database of
configurations/resolution/dpi settings etc and then calculate the image
size (using its coordinates) based on this information.
I haven't looked into this but I reckon OSX and WXP have these in the
system somewhere (so
Hi Luis,
Yup, my main monitor is of the brand unknown.

Hmmm, ok. What you could then do is open a dialogue box asking for
dimensions (17 inch, 19 inch, etc), resolution, type (CRT, LCD or
Plasma) and dpi. If the dpi is unknown by the user you could try to
default to the most common dpi for that 'type' of monitor.
Cheers,
Luis.
