»*\n\n![Android dip Ruler!](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BoD/android-dip-ruler/master/illus.png?2 \"Android dip Ruler!\")\n\n\n## What is it?\nThis is a ruler in the Android \"dip\" ([Device Independent Pixel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device-independent_pixel)) unit [[1]](https://material.google.com/layout/units-measurements.html#units-measurements-density-independent-pixels-dp).\n\nYou can print it, cut it and give it to your designer.\n\n\n## Links\n- [US Letter pdf](https://github.com/BoD/android-dip-ruler/releases/download/v1.1.0/android_dip_ruler-1.1.0-usletter.pdf) ([source](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BoD/android-dip-ruler/master/android_dip_ruler-usletter.svg))\n- [A4 pdf](https://github.com/BoD/android-dip-ruler/releases/download/v1.1.0/android_dip_ruler-1.1.0-a4.pdf) ([source](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BoD/android-dip-ruler/master/android_dip_ruler-a4.svg))\n\n\n## Why?\nI've found that the concept of dp is not that easy to explain / understand.\n\nDesigners are used to think in pixels (especially if they also work on iOS projects).\n\nSometimes a picture is worth a thousand words, and so this ruler will make it immediately obvious that\n### the dp is a [physical unit of length](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length#Units).\n\nSome essential information is also present on the ruler:\n- Definition of a dp\n- List of Android logical densities (*ldpi*, *mdpi*, etc.) with their properties\n\nAnd of course it can also be actually used to measure things (screens…) since it **is** a ruler :)\n\n\n## Miscellaneous\n\n- Made with Inkscape\n- Available in A4 and US Letter\n- The ruler is rotated in the page to reduce the risk of being larger than the printable area\n- When printing, make sure to **not** scale the page (or force it to scale at 100%), to preserve exact sizes\n\n[![Android Arsenal](https://img.shields.io/badge/Android%20Arsenal-android--dip--ruler-green.svg?style=flat)](https://android-arsenal.com/details/1/1944)\n\n\n## License\n\u003ca rel=\"license\" href=\"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Creative Commons License\" style=\"border-width:0\" src=\"https://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-sa/4.0/88x31.png\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cspan xmlns:dct=\"http://purl.org/dc/terms/\" href=\"http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/StillImage\" property=\"dct:title\" rel=\"dct:type\"\u003eAndroid dip Ruler\u003c/span\u003e by \u003ca xmlns:cc=\"http://creativecommons.org/ns#\" href=\"http://JRAF.org\" property=\"cc:attributionName\" rel=\"cc:attributionURL\"\u003eBenoit 'BoD' Lubek\u003c/a\u003e is licensed under a \u003ca rel=\"license\" href=\"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/\"\u003eCreative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License\u003c/a\u003e.\u003cbr /\u003eBased on a work at \u003ca xmlns:dct=\"http://purl.org/dc/terms/\" href=\"http://github.com/BoD/Android-dip-Ruler\" rel=\"dct:source\"\u003ehttp://github.com/BoD/android-dip-ruler\u003c/a\u003e.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbod%2Fandroid-dip-ruler","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fbod%2Fandroid-dip-ruler","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbod%2Fandroid-dip-ruler/lists"}
