Question

Assume java 1.6 and leopard. Ideally, it would also be nice to get a list of all supported resolutions and the current resolution. If this isn’t possible in java, is there some way to do it that could be called from java?

Answer 1

    GraphicsDevice[] devices = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment()         .getScreenDevices();     for (int i = 0; i < devices.length; i++) {         GraphicsDevice dev = devices[i];         System.out.println('device ' + i);         DisplayMode[] modes = dev.getDisplayModes();         for (int j = 0; j < modes.length; j++) {             DisplayMode m = modes[j];             System.out.println(' ' + j + ': ' + m.getWidth() + ' x ' + m.getHeight());         }     } 

With this code you can determine the current resolution. On my system (SuSE linux) it does NOT output the possible resolutions.

Seems to work an Mac and Windows.
