# PMGetResolution

Obtains the current application’s drawing resolution.

## Declaration

```occ
OSStatus PMGetResolution (
   PMPageFormat pageFormat,
   PMResolution *res
);
```

## Parameters

- `pageFormat`: The page format object whose drawing resolution you want to obtain.
- `res`: A pointer to your [doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/applicationservices/core_printing/pmresolution](applicationservices/core_printing/pmresolution.md) structure. On return, the structure contains the drawing resolution of the current application.

## Return Value

A result code. See [Result Codes](../core_printing.md).

## Overview

This function obtains the drawing resolution specified in the page format, not the resolution of the current printer. You can use [PMPrinterGetPrinterResolutionCount](../1462004-pmprintergetprinterresolutioncou.md) and [PMPrinterGetIndexedPrinterResolution](../1464490-pmprintergetindexedprinterresolu.md) to examine the available printer resolutions.
