{{wowapi}} Returns the width of the window in pixels. GetScreenWidth(); ---- ;''Arguments'' :''none'' ---- ;''Returns'' :Number screenWidth :;screenWidth : Width of window in pixels ---- ;''Example'' if( GetScreenWidth() * UIParent:GetEffectiveScale() == 800) then ChatFrame:AddMessage("Using 800x600 mode"); end ;''Result'' Using 800x600 mode ---- ;''Description'' : Returns the width of the window in pixels. This value is affected by the UI's scale. : Also note that the return value will not match the screen resolution chosen from the Video Options menu, but will instead represent a dimension with the same aspect ratio. For example, the following code... DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage( ( GetScreenWidth() * UIParent:GetEffectiveScale() ).."x"..( GetScreenHeight() * UIParent:GetEffectiveScale() ) ); : ...will print "960x768" for the actual screen resolution "1280x1024". Both of these dimensions share a 5:4 aspect ratio.
