Implementation

@override
Size getPreferredSize({
  required SliderThemeData sliderTheme,
  required bool isEnabled,
}) {
  assert(sliderTheme.trackHeight != null);
  // The tick marks are tiny circles. If no radius is provided, then the
  // radius is defaulted to be a fraction of the
  // [SliderThemeData.trackHeight]. The fraction is 1/4.
  return Size.fromRadius(tickMarkRadius ?? 4);
