How to obtain the system resolution under the (1920*1080) macOS operating system

This StackOverflow answer shows one way to do it in Swift, and you can use the core-graphics crate to do basically the same thing in Rust

fn main() {
    let mode = core_graphics::display::CGDisplay::main()
        .display_mode()
        .unwrap();

    println!(
        "{} x {}; {} x {}",
        mode.width(),
        mode.height(),
        mode.pixel_width(),
        mode.pixel_height()
    );
}

I assume the unprefixed height and width are in points rather than pixels, but the difference between the properties is helpfully undocumented by Apple[1]


  1. The unprefixed properties are even documented as returning pixels, even though the pixel_* properties return larger values than the unprefixed properties on my machine. Fun! ↩ī¸Ž
