flutter_body_atlas 0.1.1

An interactive, SVG-based human body atlas for Flutter. High-fidelity anatomical diagrams with built-in support for hit testing, highlighting, and custom integration

flutter_body_atlas

An interactive, SVG-based human body atlas for Flutter. High-fidelity anatomical diagrams (currently focused on muscles) with built-in support for hit testing, highlighting, and custom integration.

Designed for fitness apps, medical visualizations, and educational tools that need an interactive map of the human musculoskeletal system.

Features

• Interactive Body Views: Front and back muscle atlas views.
• Hit Testing: Detect taps and hovers on specific muscles with accuracy.
• Dynamic Coloring: Highlight specific muscles or groups programmatically via stable IDs.
• ID-Driven Integration: Use stable SVG element IDs (e.g., latissimus_dorsi_r) as a public contract for your business logic.
• Platform Optimized: Built-in support for mouse hover on desktop/web and touch interactions on mobile.
• Customizable: Inject your own resolvers, localizers, and search implementations.

Installation

Add the following to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  flutter_body_atlas: ^0.1.0

Ensure you include the assets in your pubspec.yaml (automatically handled if using the package as a dependency, otherwise ensure the assets/ folder is accessible).

Quick Start

The following example demonstrates how to render the front view of the muscle atlas and highlight a set of "engaged" muscles by their stable IDs.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_body_atlas/flutter_body_atlas.dart';

class MuscleHighlightView extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    // A set of stable IDs you want to highlight (e.g., from a workout)
    final engagedIds = {'biceps_brachii_caput_longum_l', 'rectus_abdominis_1'};

    return BodyAtlasView<MuscleInfo>(
      // Choose between AtlasAsset.musclesFront or AtlasAsset.musclesBack
      view: AtlasAsset.musclesFront,
      
      // Use the built-in MuscleResolver to map SVG IDs to domain objects
      resolver: const MuscleResolver(),
      
      // Map domain objects to specific colors
      colorMapping: {
        for (var id in engagedIds)
          MuscleCatalog.byIdOrThrow(id): Colors.orange,
      },
      
      // Handle user interaction
      onTapElement: (muscle) {
        print('Tapped on: ${muscle.displayName} (ID: ${muscle.id})');
      },
      
      // Optional hover support (Desktop/Web)
      hoverColor: (original) => original.withValues(alpha: 0.5),
      onHoverOverElement: (muscle) {
        // Update state to show tooltip or name
      },
    );
  }
}

ID Stability & Integration

The package treats SVG element IDs as a stable public contract. You can rely on these IDs (like trapezius_1_l) to remain consistent across versions, allowing you to store them in your own database or use them to trigger application-level logic without fear of them changing.

For a full list of available IDs and their corresponding anatomical names, refer to the Muscle enum or the MuscleCatalog.

API Overview

The following types are the primary entry points for the package:

• BodyAtlasView: The main widget for rendering and interaction.
• AtlasAsset: Enumeration of available SVG diagrams (front/back).
• MuscleInfo: Data model containing display names, groups, and IDs.
• MuscleCatalog: Static repository of all muscle metadata.
• MuscleResolver: Default implementation to resolve SVG IDs into MuscleInfo.
• AtlasResolver: Interface for custom element resolution.

Platform Notes

• Desktop & Web: Full support for mouse hover via onHoverOverElement and hoverColor.
• Mobile: Optimized for touch. While onHoverOverElement is technically available, it is rarely triggered on touch screens.

Known Limitations & Roadmap

• Asset Coverage: Currently provides a comprehensive muscle atlas. Future layers like skeletal (bones), organ systems, and skin are planned.
• Taxonomy: Muscle groupings are currently tailored for fitness/exercise use cases. More medical/anatomical groupings may be added.
• Z-Order: Some overlapping paths may require fine-tuning for hit-testing in future updates.
