Advanced Features #

Scroll-Triggered Animation

Automatically animate circles when they become visible during scrolling:

class ScrollableCircles extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  State<ScrollableCircles> createState() => _ScrollableCirclesState();
}

class _ScrollableCirclesState extends State<ScrollableCircles> {
  final ScrollController _scrollController = ScrollController();

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return ListView.builder(
      controller: _scrollController,
      itemCount: 10,
      itemBuilder: (context, index) {
        return Container(
          height: 400,
          padding: const EdgeInsets.all(20),
          child: AnimatedCircleView(
            circlePainterConfig: CirclePainterConfig.full(
              fillColor: Colors.amber,
              borderColor: Colors.amber.shade800,
            ),
            scrollController: _scrollController,
            duration: const Duration(milliseconds: 600),
            onAnimationCompleted: () {
              print('Circle $index animation completed!');
            },
          ),
        );
      },
    );
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    _scrollController.dispose();
    super.dispose();
  }
}

Complex Multi-Segment Circle with Custom Styling

AnimatedCircleView(
  circlePainterConfig: CirclePainterConfig.segmented(
    segments: [
      CircleSegment(
        fillColor: Colors.red.shade400, 
        borderColor: Colors.red.shade700, 
        ratio: 0.25
      ),
      CircleSegment(
        fillColor: Colors.blue.shade400, 
        borderColor: Colors.blue.shade700, 
        ratio: 0.25
      ),
      CircleSegment(
        fillColor: Colors.green.shade400, 
        borderColor: Colors.green.shade700, 
        ratio: 0.25
      ),
      CircleSegment(
        fillColor: Colors.purple.shade400, 
        borderColor: Colors.purple.shade700, 
        ratio: 0.25
      ),
    ],
    separatorAngle: 0.05, // 5-degree gaps between segments
    baseColor: Colors.grey.shade200, // Background color
    strokeWidth: 18.0,
    borderWidth: 22.0,
  ),
  duration: const Duration(milliseconds: 1200),
  fadeInDuration: const Duration(milliseconds: 300),

🎨 Design Patterns & Use Cases #

Progress Indicators #

// Simple progress bar alternative
AnimatedCircleView(
  circlePainterConfig: CirclePainterConfig.full(
    fillColor: Theme.of(context).primaryColor,
    borderColor: Theme.of(context).primaryColor.withOpacity(0.3),
  ),
)

Data Visualization #

// Pie chart for statistics
AnimatedCircleView(
  circlePainterConfig: CirclePainterConfig.segmented(
    segments: [
      CircleSegment(fillColor: Colors.blue, borderColor: Colors.blue.shade700, ratio: 0.45),   // 45%
      CircleSegment(fillColor: Colors.green, borderColor: Colors.green.shade700, ratio: 0.30), // 30%
      CircleSegment(fillColor: Colors.orange, borderColor: Colors.orange.shade700, ratio: 0.25), // 25%
    ],
  ),
)

Loading Indicators #

// Elegant loading spinner
AnimatedCircleView(
  circlePainterConfig: CirclePainterConfig.full(
    fillColor: Colors.blue.withOpacity(0.7),
    borderColor: Colors.blue,
    strokeWidth: 8.0,
    borderWidth: 12.0,
  ),
  duration: const Duration(milliseconds: 1000),
  curve: Curves.easeInOut,
)

🔧 Performance Considerations #

Efficient Rendering: Uses RepaintBoundary for optimized painting
Memory Management: Automatic cleanup of animation controllers and listeners
Viewport Optimization: Scroll-triggered animations only activate when visible

🐛 Troubleshooting #

Common Issues #

Segments don't add up to full circle

// ❌ This will throw an assertion error
CirclePainterConfig.segmented(
  segments: [
    CircleSegment(ratio: 0.5, ...),
    CircleSegment(ratio: 0.3, ...), // Total = 0.8, not 1.0
  ],
);

// ✅ Correct usage
CirclePainterConfig.segmented(
  segments: [
    CircleSegment(ratio: 0.7, ...),
    CircleSegment(ratio: 0.3, ...), // Total = 1.0
  ],
);

Animation not triggering with scroll controller

Ensure the ScrollController is properly attached to your scrollable widget
Check that the circle widget is actually within the scrollable area
Verify that at least 30% of the circle is visible before animation triggers

Performance issues with many circles

Use RepaintBoundary around individual circles when rendering many
Consider using ListView.builder instead of ListView for better performance
Implement lazy loading for large datasets
