I know this mailing list might not be the perfect fit for my question, but maybe someone has an idea.
I have a problem converting points (I think) to pixels in a bash script. I'd rather not write an extra C/Cocoa utility for that. Using system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType I can retrieve the size of a Mac's display in pixels. However, the command tell application "System Events" to get the size of every window of every process (which I execute from my bash script using osascript) apparently does NOT return window sizes in pixels. I guess it's the strange "Apple points" units. According to my experiments, on my MacBook Pro Retina, for instance, a fullscreen app (e.g., Keynote presentation) has a window size of 1680 x 1050. By contrast, system_profiler reports 2880 x 1800. So, the question is: how can I determine the screen size of a Mac from my bash script in the same units like "System Events" uses? Or, how can I determine the factor by which I have to convert pixels into those other units? Many thanks in advance for any insights or hints. Best regards, Gabriel
