width = hDC.GetDeviceCaps( win32con.HORZRES )
height = hDC.GetDeviceCaps( win32con.VERTRES )
That returns you the surface size in pixels. If you plan to work in
twips, you'll have to convert it.
widthtwips = hDC.GetDeviceCaps(win32con.HORZRES ) * 1440 /
hDC.GetDeviceCaps(win32con.LOGPIXELSX)
heighttwips = hDC.GetDeviceCaps(win32con.VERTRES ) * 1440 /
hDC.GetDeviceCaps(win32con.LOGPIXELSY)
By the way, you wrote:
INCH = 1440 # twips - 1440 per inch allows fine res
Working in twips doesn't increase the resolution in any way. You can't
get any finer than pixels. It's just a little more convenient. If
you're going to use the "INCH" constant anyway, you could just leave the
mapping mode alone, and do
INCH = hDC.GetDeviceCaps(win32con.LOGPIXELSX)
Now positive Y increases going down, which is a bit more natural.
