Other than using windowBoundingRect, is there any way to compute the menubar height? The 2021 MBP's have changed the height of the menubar to accommodate the notch. Generally it's 42 pixels on the new MBP, except when it's something else, especially on secondary monitors (e.g. I've seen it at 50

Implicit functions are not, in general, directly plowable, as there is no general y(x) explicit function available. You *could*use differentials and derivates to take small steps, if you’re careful and watch for points with multiple solutions (in the example function, when it crosses either
