hexagon 0.0.7

Library about hexagon shape. You can create pointy or flat hexagons in any color you like.

Hexagon

A widget in a shape of hexagon. Inspired by fantastic hexagons analysis available on redblobgames.

Installation

Add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  hexagon: ^0.0.6

Usage

import 'package:hexagon/hexagon.dart';

//...

Single widget

Width or height must be set when defining a HexagonWidget. The other dimension is calculated based on selected HexagonType. Use named constructors for flat or pointy for simple shaped hexagon. Elevation changes hexagon shadow size.

HexagonWidget.flat(
  width: w,
  color: Colors.limeAccent,
  padding: 4.0,
  child: Text('A flat tile'),
),
HexagonWidget.pointy(
  width: w,
  color: Colors.red,
  elevation: 8,
  child: Text('A pointy tile'),
),

The template constructor is used in grids and will throw an error while rendering.

Grids

Offset Grid

Check Coordinates Offset on redblobgames

Simple coordinate system similar to regular table.

As hexagon columns or rows can begin with hex or an empty space this grid has 4 named constructors to represent all combinations with flat and pointy hexagons.

• oddPointy
• evenPointy
• oddFlat
• evenFlat

Every constructor requires columns and rows params. At least one of grid constrains must be finite. The grid will fit given rows and columns in given space.

Column(
  crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.stretch,
  children: [
    HexagonOffsetGrid.oddPointy(
      columns: 5,
      rows: 10,
      buildHexagon: (col, row) => HexagonWidgetBuilder(
        color: row.isEven ? Colors.yellow : Colors.orangeAccent,
        elevation: 2,
      ),
      buildChild: (col, row) {
        return Text('$col, $row');
      },
    ),
  ],
),

To customize any HexagonWidget in grid use buildHexagon function and return a HexagonWidgetBuilder for tile of your choosing. If you provide a buildChild function it will override any child provided in builder.

Hexagon Grid

• WIP
• Soon

Road map

• Margins between tiles in HexagonOffsetGrid (Added padding since 0.0.5)
• Hexagonal shaped grid (using cube/axial coordinates system)
• Solve content spacing in hexagon widget
• Check performance
