Is there any way to display skew borders at the top and bottom? I came up with the solution below by using two images (top_layout and bottom_layout.png). Is there any other way to make those color bars with shadows without using static images?
return Container(
color: const Color.fromARGB(255, 236, 0, 140),
child: Container(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
child: Container(
color: Colors.white,
margin:
EdgeInsets.only(top: 60.0, bottom: 20.0, left: 15.0, right: 15.0),
child: Stack(
children: <Widget>[
Positioned.fill(
child: Image.asset(
"assets/imgs/top_layout.png",
fit: BoxFit.fitWidth,
alignment: Alignment.topCenter,
),
),
Positioned.fill(
child: Image.asset(
"assets/imgs/xbottom_layout.png",
fit: BoxFit.fitWidth,
alignment: Alignment.bottomLeft,
),
),
],
),
),
),
);
}

To paint in Flutter you use the CustomPaint
widget. The CustomPaint
widget takes a CustomPainter
object as a parameter. In that class you have to override the paint
method, which gives you a canvas that you can paint on. Here is the code to draw the line in the image above.
@override
void paint(Canvas canvas, Size size) {
final p1 = Offset(50, 50);
final p2 = Offset(250, 150);
final paint = Paint()
..color = Colors.black
..strokeWidth = 4;
canvas.drawLine(p1, p2, paint);
}
Notes:
drawLine
method draws a line connecting the two points you give it.Offset
is a pair of (dx, dy)
doubles, offset from the top left corner of the CustomPaint
widget.You could do something similar with the drawPoints
method using the PointMode.polygon
option.
@override
void paint(Canvas canvas, Size size) {
final pointMode = ui.PointMode.polygon;
final points = [
Offset(50, 100),
Offset(150, 75),
Offset(250, 250),
Offset(130, 200),
Offset(270, 100),
];
final paint = Paint()
..color = Colors.black
..strokeWidth = 4
..strokeCap = StrokeCap.round;
canvas.drawPoints(pointMode, points, paint);
}
Here is the main.dart code so that you can see it in context.
import 'dart:ui' as ui;
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() => runApp(MyApp());
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
home: Scaffold(
body: HomeWidget(),
),
);
}
}
class HomeWidget extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Center(
child: CustomPaint( // <-- CustomPaint widget
size: Size(300, 300),
painter: MyPainter(),
),
);
}
}
class MyPainter extends CustomPainter { // <-- CustomPainter class
@override
void paint(Canvas canvas, Size size) {
// <-- Insert your painting code here.
}
@override
bool shouldRepaint(CustomPainter old) {
return false;
}
}
