A widget that provides a canvas on which to draw during the paint phase.

When asked to paint, CustomPaint first asks its painter to paint on the current canvas, then it paints its child, and then, after painting its child, it asks its foregroundPainter to paint. The coodinate system of the canvas matches the coordinate system of the CustomPaint object. The painters are expected to paint within a rectangle starting at the origin and encompassing a region of the given size. (If the painters paint outside those bounds, there might be insufficient memory allocated to rasterize the painting commands and the resulting behavior is undefined.)

Painters are implemented by subclassing CustomPainter.

Because custom paint calls its painters during paint, you cannot call setState or markNeedsLayout during the callback (the layout for this frame has already happened).

Custom painters normally size themselves to their child. If they do not have a child, they attempt to size themselves to the size, which defaults to Size.zero.

Methods

createRenderObject(BuildContext context) RenderCustomPaint

Creates an instance of the RenderObject class that this RenderObjectWidget represents, using the configuration described by this RenderObjectWidget.

didUnmountRenderObject(RenderCustomPaint renderObject) → void

A render object previously associated with this widget has been removed from the tree. The given RenderObject will be of the same type as returned by this object's createRenderObject.

updateRenderObject(BuildContext context, RenderCustomPaint renderObject) → void

Copies the configuration described by this RenderObjectWidget to the given RenderObject, which will be of the same type as returned by this object's createRenderObject.

createElement() SingleChildRenderObjectElement

RenderObjectWidgets always inflate to a RenderObjectElement subclass.

inherited
debugFillDescription(List<String> description) → void

Add additional information to the given description for use by toString.

inherited
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic

Invoked when a non-existent method or property is accessed.

inherited
toString() String

Returns a string representation of this object.

inherited
toStringShort() String
