SliverOpacityModifier class

A sliver widget that makes its sliver child partially transparent.

This class paints its sliver child into an intermediate buffer and then blends the sliver back into the scene partially transparent.

For values of opacity other than 0.0 and 1.0, this class is relatively expensive because it requires painting the sliver child into an intermediate buffer. For the value 0.0, the sliver child is simply not painted at all. For the value 1.0, the sliver child is painted immediately without an intermediate buffer.

{@tool snippet}

This example shows a SliverList when the _visible member field is true, and hides it when it is false:

bool _visible = true;
List<Widget> listItems = const <Widget>[
  Text('Now you see me,'),
  Text("Now you don't!"),
];

SliverOpacity(
  opacity: _visible ? 1.0 : 0.0,
  sliver: SliverList(
    delegate: SliverChildListDelegate(listItems),
  ),
)

{@end-tool}

This is more efficient than adding and removing the sliver child widget from the tree on demand.
