Add support for "density-independent" pixels ('dp') used by Android / Material Design


Recommended Posts

Hi,
As mentioned in the title, Affinty suite should include support for "density-independent" pixels (also known as 'DP') that are primarily used during Android/ Material Design development.

The specification can be found on this website, but essentialy they are similiar to Apple's 'points' (pt) which is already supported, and very similair in function. 'dp' varies by using 160 pixel/inch base instead of 163:

dp = (width in pixels * 160) / screen density

Android presets for phones such as the Google Pixel would be a welcome addition that use this new unit.
This would really help me out as currently I struggle with asset creation / UI design for Android and always messing up the sizes when exporting.
Since points are already supported, I would image adding this unit shouldn't be too much of a hassle (hopefully 😁)
