DisplayMetrics.density is the "logical density of the display", i.e. a value of 0.75

But this can't be used as a multiplier of pixels like the retina result, or can
it? And if so, are there really that many retina/pixel doubled displays out
there?
I double the size of my standard livecode controls to get a retina pixel so
should I be multiplying the density result to get a true scale for standard
livecode controls? Is this the size and width, height of a device or the
virtual screen size of a devices retina or not screen?
I believe LC 5.5.3's new mobilePixelDensity function will provide the
specificity you're looking for.
