morph_orbs 0.2.0

Dotted 3D activity orbs for AI chat UIs. Seven lifecycle states, seventeen geometries, and smooth dot-for-dot morphs between any of them. Pure Canvas, no shaders.

0.2.0

• New package:morph_orbs/engine.dart library for packages built on the dot engine: OrbFrame, paintOrbFrame, OrbGeometry, OrbProfile, resolveOrbState and the math helpers.
• Dots can carry their own colour: OrbFrame.addTinted and a tint channel that OrbFrame.blend morphs across.
• Dots with a zero radius are skipped when painting.

0.1.0

Initial release.

• MorphOrb widget with seven lifecycle states: idle, thinking, processing, generating, success, error, stopped.
• Seventeen geometries selectable through variant: orbits, ring, ribbon, rubik, globe, wave, web, braid, morph, pulse, swarm, helix, nebula, vortex, echo, constellate, bloom.
• Dot-for-dot morph between any two geometries on state or variant change, interruptible mid-transition.
• Terminal states settle into a check, a cross or a frozen ring and then stop the ticker.
• MorphOrbStyle for ink, status colours, opaque background, transition duration and curve, density and dot scale.
• Continuous size support: tuned at 20 / 32 / 64 px, log-interpolated between.
• Reduced-motion support, semantics labels, single Ticker per orb, no per-frame widget rebuilds.
