raw_magnifier_plus 0.1.1

A powerful, composable Flutter magnifier widget with zero dependencies. Supports custom ShapeBorder for images, videos, and complex UI layouts.

raw_magnifier_plus

A powerful, composable Flutter magnifier widget built directly on RawMagnifier — Flutter's native, render-tree-level zoom primitive.

🚫 No double image hacks. No matrix syncing. No jank.
✅ Real-time. Zero dependencies. Works on any widget.

---

Why RawMagnifier?

Most "zoom loupe" implementations hack it together by overlapping two identical images, wrapping one in an InteractiveViewer, and synchronising them with Matrix4 translations. It's heavy, janky, and fragile.

RawMagnifier is different. It physically magnifies whatever pixels are painted beneath it in the Flutter render tree — in real time. It works on images, video frames, glassmorphism, text, icons, live widgets — anything.

This package wraps it into a clean, documented, composable API.

Features

• 🔬 True pixel magnification via RawMagnifier — no hacks
• 🎨 Any ShapeBorder — circle, rounded rect, stadium, star, or custom
• 🔌 Plug-and-play with DraggableLoupe — one widget, done
• 🎮 Fine-grained control with the bare Loupe + LoupeController
• ✨ Smooth pop animation on show/hide (configurable)
• 📦 Zero runtime dependencies — only flutter SDK
• 🎯 Flutter ≥ 3.3.0 support (when RawMagnifier was introduced)

Installation

dependencies:
  raw_magnifier_plus: ^0.1.0

import 'package:raw_magnifier_plus/raw_magnifier_plus.dart';

---

Quick start

1. Plug-and-play — DraggableLoupe

Wrap any widget. Press and drag to magnify.

DraggableLoupe(
  child: Image.network('https://example.com/product.jpg'),
)

2. Custom shape and scale

DraggableLoupe(
  loupeSize: const Size(160, 100),
  magnificationScale: 3.0,
  shape: const RoundedRectangleBorder(
    borderRadius: BorderRadius.all(Radius.circular(16)),
  ),
  child: Image.asset('assets/map.png'),
)

3. Long-press activation (e.g. text selection style)

DraggableLoupe(
  showOnLongPress: true,
  child: const Text('Press and hold me, then drag'),
)

4. Star-shaped loupe (Flutter 3.3+)

DraggableLoupe(
  shape: const StarBorder(points: 6, innerRadiusRatio: 0.55),
  magnificationScale: 2.0,
  child: myWidget,
)

5. Bare Loupe widget (manual positioning)

Stack(
  children: [
    Image.asset('assets/photo.jpg'),
    Positioned(
      left: loupeLeft,
      top: loupeTop,
      child: Loupe(
        // Vector from loupe center → focal point
        focalPointOffset: const Offset(0, 90),
        magnificationScale: 2.5,
        shape: const CircleBorder(),
      ),
    ),
  ],
)

6. With LoupeController — programmatic show/hide

final _controller = LoupeController();

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

// Force-hide on scroll
_scrollController.addListener(() {
  if (_scrollController.position.isScrollingNotifier.value) {
    _controller.hide();
  }
});

// Pass to DraggableLoupe — it reads gestures, you can override
DraggableLoupe(
  controller: _controller,
  child: myContent,
)

API Reference

Loupe

The bare magnifier widget. Place it in a Stack + Positioned.

Property	Type	Default	Description
focalPointOffset	Offset	Offset.zero	Vector from loupe center to focal point
magnificationScale	double	2.0	Zoom factor (must be > 0)
size	Size	Size(120, 120)	Size of the lens
shape	ShapeBorder	CircleBorder()	Lens shape — any ShapeBorder
shadows	List<BoxShadow>	soft shadow	Drop shadows around the lens
overlayBuilder	WidgetBuilder?	null	Widget rendered on top of the magnified area

DraggableLoupe

Batteries-included widget. Handles gestures, animation, and positioning.

Property	Type	Default	Description
child	Widget	required	The widget to wrap
loupeSize	Size	Size(130, 130)	Size of the lens
magnificationScale	double	2.5	Zoom factor
shape	ShapeBorder	CircleBorder()	Lens shape
verticalOffset	double	90.0	How far above the touch the loupe floats
shadows	List<BoxShadow>	soft shadow	Drop shadows
overlayBuilder	WidgetBuilder?	null	Overlay on top of magnified area
controller	LoupeController?	null	External controller for programmatic control
showOnLongPress	bool	false	Require long press instead of immediate pan
animationDuration	Duration	160ms	Appear/disappear animation duration

LoupeController

A ChangeNotifier that drives loupe visibility and position.

Method / Property	Description
isVisible	Whether the loupe is currently shown
position	Current focal position in local coordinates
show({required Offset position})	Show the loupe at position
moveTo(Offset position)	Move the focal point (no-op if hidden)
hide()	Hide the loupe

How focalPointOffset works

focalPointOffset is the vector from the center of the loupe widget to the point being magnified.

loupeCenter + focalPointOffset = focalPoint

• Offset.zero (default): magnifies what's directly beneath the loupe center.
• Offset(0, 90): the loupe "looks at" a point 90 px below its own center. This is how DraggableLoupe works — the loupe floats above the finger, with focalPointOffset.dy = verticalOffset pointing back down.

Running the example

cd example
flutter create .          # create platform dirs
flutter pub get
flutter run

The example app has three demo screens:

1. Image Zoom — product photo with configurable shape & scale
2. UI Magnifier — magnify a rich Flutter widget layout
3. Raw API — manually position the loupe and tweak focalPointOffset live
