Usage Examples

Basic Implementation

Here’s how to set up a basic painting widget with a simple controller:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:painter_widget/simple_painter.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    final controller = PainterController();
    return MaterialApp(
      home: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(title: Text('Painter Widget Example')),
        body: PainterWidget(controller: controller),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Drawing and Erasing

Enable drawing and erasing with these configurations:

controller.toggleDrawing();;  // Enable freehand drawing

controller.changeBrushValues( // Edit brush options
size: 15
color: Color(0xFFFFFF),
;

controller.toggleErasing();  // Enable eraser mode

Rendering Canvas And Items As Images

controller.renderImage(); // Render canvas as image

controller.renderItem(item, enableRotation: true); // Render items as image

Adding Interactive Items

Add text, shapes, or images dynamically:

await controller.addText(text); // Add text item

controller.changeTextValues( // Change text style
item,
textStyle: TextStyle(),
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
enableGradientColor: false,
...
)

controller.addImage(imageUint8List); // Add image item

controller.changeImageValues(  // Change image style
item,
boxFit: BoxFit.fill,
borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(intValue.toDouble()),
borderColr: Color(0xFFFFFF),
...
)

controller.addShape(shape); // Add shape item

controller.addCustomWidget(widget); // Add custom widget item

Custom Background Image

Set a background image while maintaining aspect ratio:

await controller.setBackgroundImage(imageUint8List);

// or

controller = PainterController(
backgroundImage: imageUint8List,
);
