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()

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 .64.
