Metrics & keylines

Tim Wu -

Baseline grids

All components align to an 8dp square baseline grid for mobile, tablet, and desktop. Iconography in toolbars align to a 4dp square baseline grid.

所有的元素在移动端，平板端和桌面端都以边长为 8dp 的正方形作为基线网格。toolbars（工具栏）的图标使用边长为 4dp 的正方形作为基线网格。

Ratio keylines

The proportion of an element’s width to its height (called the aspect ratio) applies to both UI elements and screen size. It is written as width:height.

元素比例指的是该元素宽度与高度的比例（通常称为 aspect ratio(宽高比))，常应用于 UI 元素和屏幕尺寸。一般写作 width:height。

These aspect ratios are recommended:

以下是常用比例推荐

  • 16:9
  • 3:2
  • 4:3
  • 1:1
  • 3:4
  • 2:3

For example:

例如：

  • A 1:1 aspect ratio means an element has equal height and width.
  • 1:1 aspect ratio 指该元素有着相同的宽度和高度
  • A 360dp wide image with a 2:3 aspect ratio has a height of 540.
  • 一个 2:3 aspect ratio 的图像，他的宽为 360dp ，那么它的高度则为 540dp

Determine the width or height of your element for a chosen aspect ratio using the below formulas. The aspect ratio is always expressed as a fraction. For example, 3:2 is treated as 3/2.

使用以下公式来根据已经选定的 aspect ratio 获取元素的宽度或高度。aspect ratio 通常使用分数表示。例如，3:2 可示为 3/2 。

Width = Aspect ratio * Height

宽度 = aspect ratio * 高度

Height = Width/Aspect ratio

高度 = 宽度／aspect ratio

Sizing by increments

An increment is a measurement used to determine the size and position of other elements in the app.

An increment（增量）是用于确定应用程序中其它元素的大小和位置的度量。

For example, you can define an increment as the height of a standard element, such as the action bar. If the action bar is 56dp tall, you may define one increment as equal to 56 x 56dp. Determine the size of other elements by how many 56dp increments wide or tall an element should be.

例如，您可以定义一个标准元素的高度为一个 increment（增量），比如 action bar。如果 action bar 的高度为 56dp，你可以定义一个 increment 的大小为 56dp * 56dp。可以通过决定有多少个 56dp 的 increments 来决定其它元素的大小。

If an element is 8 increments wide, using 56dp as the increment size, the width is equal to 448dp.

如果一个元素等于 8 倍 increment 的宽度，一个 increment 的宽度为 56dp，那么这个元素的宽度为 448dp。

Incremental keylines apply mostly to desktop, often to tablet, and infrequently to mobile. The number of increments varies based on window size.

incremental 的关键线最多于桌面端，然后是平板端，最不常用于移动端。到底是用多少个 increment 元素取决于窗口的大小

This example card width has a horizontal increment of 8x.

水平 8 倍 increment 宽度的卡片示例

The height of the example extended app bar is 2x the increment, and the width of the right panel is 5x the increment.

示例中 app bar 的高度为 2倍 increment，右面板的宽度则为 5倍 increment

Increments can work across many elements in material design UI.

increments 在 material design 中多个元素都能使用

Touch target size

To ensure balanced information density and usability, touch targets should be at least 48 x 48 dp. In most cases, there should be 8dp or more space between them.

为了保证信息密度与可用性的平衡，touch targets （触摸目标）的面积最少要 48dp * 48dp。在多个示例中，touch targets 之间至少要有 8dp 或者更多的宽度间隙。

Size elements at least 48dp high and wide to ensure a physical size of about 9mm regardless of screen size. The recommended target size for touchscreen objects is 7-10mm.

元素的尺寸最少要有 48dp 的长度和宽度来保证在任何屏幕下大概物理尺寸约 9mm 空间。建议的触摸屏的 target size （触摸尺寸）一般约为 7-10mm。

  • Avatar: 40dp
  • Icon: 24dp
  • Touch target on both: 48dp

Example of touch targets

  • Touch target height: 48dp
  • Button height: 36dp
