How do I obtain the dimensions of the display on which my application is running? 27-May-02 10:00 GMT Question: How do I obtain the dimensions of the display on which my application is running? You can easily obtain this information by making use of the following Xlib macros (defined in X11/Xlib.h): DisplayWidth(dpy, scr) DisplayHeight(dpy, scr) where "dpy" is your display (obtained using XtDisplay) and "scr" is the screen number (obtained by using a combination of XtScreen and XScreenNumberOfScreen). A simple code example is as follows: #include <X11/Xlib.h> show_scr_size() { int disp_width, disp_height; disp_width = DisplayWidth(XtDisplay(shell1), XScreenNumberOfScreen(XtScreen(shell1))); disp_height = DisplayHeight(XtDisplay(shell1), XScreenNumberOfScreen(XtScreen(shell1))); printf ("width=%d, height=%d\n", disp_width, disp_height); }   Sponsored by X-Designer - The Leading X/Motif GUI Builder - Click to download a FREE evaluation   Goto top of page
