inline::cfunction(,'CGDirectDisplayID md = CGMainDisplayID();
CGSize ds = CGDisplayScreenSize(md);
Rprintf("%.2f x %.2f -> %d x %d\\n", ds.width/25.4, ds.height/25.4,
 (int)CGDisplayPixelsWide(md), (int)CGDisplayPixelsHigh(md));
return R_NilValue;',
'#include <ApplicationServices/ApplicationServices.h>')()

13.55 x 8.76 -> 1728 x 1117
NULL

Please let me know if anything else would be useful.
