A script for reading the screen size of the users device in Spotfire®

Introduction

In Spotfire^® you can read the Visualization Area Size of a users Spotfire session. The visualization area size is mainly governed by the users screen size. Sometimes this is useful in order to present the best view for a user given the size of his/her screen.

As an example a script could read the visualization area size and then change the page to a page that fits the screen size of the users device. This way you can optimzie the experience of a Spotfire analysis file for the device type used to view it.

This script below shows how to read the size and store the Width and Height in document properties.

A DXP file showing this is attached to this article.
