How could an application know the desktop scale factor? 🔍

Fri May 6 14:54:10 UTC 2016

Is there any way an application could tell the current desktop scaling 
factor independently of the desktop environment in use?

For example Wayland has 
(https://wayland.freedesktop.org/docs/html/apa.html#protocol-spec-wl_output) 
and Mir has 
(https://unity.ubuntu.com/mir/struct_mir_display_output.html), which 
both could be used for telling the physical size of the output device. 
So you can tell how to scale your application interface to have a good size.

This is for solving bug (https://developer.blender.org/T48292).

Thanks in advance.
