Physical Screen Size

[Luis]

Hiya,

If you can determine the monitor type you could probe a database of 
configurations/resolution/dpi settings etc and then calculate the image 
size (using its coordinates) based on this information.
I haven't looked into this but I reckon OSX and WXP have these in the 
system somewhere (so they can 'plug and play').


Cheers,

Luis.
