Implement automatic PPI detection #12

Closed hhannine closed 4 years ago

This needs research if this can be done even for digitally connected displays.

If this can be done, the PPI corrections could be enabled automatically.

Xrandr seems to report physical display width and height in millimeters, this could be parsed and used for the automation on Linux. Maybe would make more sense to implement in the screeninfo package.

Bigger issue seems to be how to find this data on Windows. After a bit of looking around it sounds like it must be read from the EDID data stored in registry.

Good news everyone! This functionality has now been implemented in screeninfo, and can be implemented in superpaper as well once I can get to it.
