No. The screen size is not usually in the logfile (and is hard to put
in there) so analog doesn't have access to that information.

Other programs work in a completely different way, by putting some
Javascript in the page, that the browser executes and sends you a
message when it renders the page. The Javascript can read the screen
size. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_analytics for more on this.

Finally, are you sure you want to know the screen size? Don't you
really want to know the browser window size? I'm not going to maximise
my browser window to view your website.
