align_positioned 1.0.3

A widget that aligns and positions its child within itself.

align_positioned

A widget that aligns and positions its child within itself.

The alignment parameter works as expected. For example, Alignment.bottomRight represents the bottom right of the container, and Alignment(0.0, 0.0) represents the center of the container. The distance from -1.0 to +1.0 is the distance from one side of the rectangle to the other side of the rectangle.

If touch is Touch.inside, then alignment works just like the alignment for the Align widget, aligning the child inside of the container.

However, if touch is Touch.outside, then the alignment happens outside of the container.

As another example, if touch is Touch.inside, then Alignment(1.0, 0.0) is touching the right edge of the container from the inside. But if touch is Touch.outside, then Alignment(1.0, 0.0) is touching the right edge of the container from the outside.

Parameters dx and dy can be positive or negative, and move the child horizontally and vertically, in pixels.

Parameters dWidth and dHeight can be positive or negative, and move the child horizontally and vertically, but the unit here is not pixels, but child widths and heights.

Example

The below image shows the center of the child positioned 15 pixels to the right of the top-left corner of the container:

AlignPositioned(
   child: child,        
   alignment: Alignment.topLeft,
   touch: Touch.inside,
   dx: 15.0, // Move 4 pixels to the right. 
   dWidth: -0.5 // Move half child width to the left.  
   dHeight: -0.5); // Move half child height to the top.
