-- OR
local MyAddOn, privateTable = ...
LibStub("LibUtilities-1.0").Embed(privateTable)
function MyAddOn:Enable()
-- probably not the best place for this call, but this is an example
-- notice it is not utilities:VisualData()
local uiScale, resolutionX, resolutionY = MyAddOn:VisualData()
end

Tips
Getting the corrected scale for the UI
- SetCVar("uiScale", tostring(self:PixelPerfect(1)))
- SetCVar("useUiScale", "1") Note, yes, 1, or it won't work
- If the third return of VisualData() resolutionY is >=1200 you should also scale UIParent, as Warcraft's UI scale will not go lower than 0.64
