How to get the size of the screen with Gtk?
I'm trying to get the size of the monitor with a C Gtk program.
I saw this version, but these functions are deprecated since Gtk 3.22:
gint width = gdk_screen_width();
gint height = gdk_screen_height();
In the GdkScreen documentation, I only found: "Use per-monitor information".
I tried to find any information about that in the GdkMonitor or GdkDisplay documentation, but had no success.
The only similar function is:
int gdk_monitor_get_width_mm (GdkMonitor *monitor);
But it's not what I am looking for.
Does anyone have an idea on how can I get these informations?

Should I do something like that :display = gdk_display_get_default(); monitor = gdk_display_get_monitor(display, 0); gdk_monitor_get_geometry(monitor, &r);Doing so returns me 0, 0 in the r variable.

You could use functions from another API to get the size of the screen (likeGetSystemMetricson Windows). You want to do this specifically with functions from Gtk?

@T.Gros that looks ok. Can you show the actual code that gives you "0, 0"?

@jku All right, I'm just an idiot. I was printing the x and y values instead of width and height, for the GtkRectangle...Thank you very much for your answer!

I have to work out aspect ratio's per monitor however -
Gtk+ Functions Depreciate So Fast: but ended up with this:
GdkRectangle workarea = {0};
gdk_monitor_get_workarea(
gdk_display_get_primary_monitor(gdk_display_get_default()),
&workarea);
printf ("W: %u x H:%un", workarea.width, workarea.height);
