part specifies the screen number for a given server.  When you use two
screens belonging to one server, Emacs knows by the similarity in their
names that they share a single keyboard, and it treats them as a single
terminal.

@deffn Command make-frame-on-display display &optional parameters
This creates and returns a new frame on display @var{display}, taking
the other frame parameters from @var{parameters}.  Aside from the
@var{display} argument, it is like @code{make-frame} (@pxref{Creating
Frames}).

@end defun

@defun display-pixel-height &optional display
This function returns the height of the screen in pixels.
On a character terminal, it gives the height in characters.
@end defun

@defun display-pixel-width &optional display
This function returns the width of the screen in pixels.
On a character terminal, it gives the width in characters.
@end defun

@defun display-mm-height &optional display
This function returns the height of the screen in millimeters,
or @code{nil} if Emacs cannot get that information.

  Note that some graphical terminals can output to more than a one
monitor (or other output device) at the same time.  On these
``multi-monitor'' setups, a single @var{display} value controls the
output to all the physical monitors.  In this situation, there is
currently no platform-independent way for Emacs to distinguish between
the different physical monitors.

For graphical terminals, note that on ``multi-monitor'' setups this
refers to the pixel width for all physical monitors associated with
@var{display}.  @xref{Multiple Displays}.
