📏 AppDimens.Net.Units

Physical units — mm, cm and inch converted to dp/px/sp with real device DPI.

Part of the AppDimens for .NET family · requires AppDimens.Net (core).

</div>

🎯 What is it?

When UI must match the physical world — rulers, ID/photo frames, credit-card-sized widgets, print previews — dp isn't enough. This module converts millimeters, centimeters and inches into screen units using the actual device DPI.

📦 Installation

dotnet add package AppDimens.Net.Units

Depends on AppDimens.Net (pulled automatically). Attach a MAUI window first or pass an explicit IAppDimensContext.

🚀 Quick start

using AppDimens.Net.Units;

// A standard credit card is 85.6 × 53.98 mm
float wDp = DimenPhysicalUnits.ToDpFromMm(85.6f);
float hDp = DimenPhysicalUnits.ToDpFromMm(53.98f);
card.WidthRequest = wDp;
card.HeightRequest = hDp;

// 1 inch ruler bar in pixels
float rulerPx = DimenPhysicalUnits.ToPxFromInch(1f);

// Circle radius from a 25 mm diameter
float r = DimenPhysicalUnits.RadiusFromDiameter(25f, UnitType.Mm);

🧭 API — `DimenPhysicalUnits`

Method	Converts
`ToDpFromMm(mm)` · `ToDpFromCm(cm)` · `ToDpFromInch(inch)`	physical length → dp
`ToPxFromMm` · `ToPxFromCm` · `ToPxFromInch`	physical length → px
`ToSpFromMm` · `ToSpFromCm` · `ToSpFromInch`	physical length → sp
`RadiusFromDiameter(diameter, unitType)`	diameter → radius (screen units)

All methods accept an optional IAppDimensContext (defaults to the ambient context).

💡 When to use

Scenario	Recommendation
Real-world sized UI (rulers, cards, print)	✅ Units
Density-flavored responsive sizing	Density
Everything else	core Scaled strategy

⚡ Performance

Conversions run through the shared snapshot cache; DPI changes invalidate automatically via the event watcher.
