VisualDensity class
Defines the visual density of user interface components.
Density, in the context of a UI, is the vertical and horizontal "compactness" of the components in the UI. It is unitless, since it means different things to different UI components.
The default for visual densities is zero for both vertical and horizontal densities, which corresponds to the default visual density of components in the Material Design specification. It does not affect text sizes, icon sizes, or padding values.
For example, for buttons, it affects the spacing around the child of the button. For lists, it affects the distance between baselines of entries in the list. For chips, it only affects the vertical size, not the horizontal size.
Here are some examples of widgets that respond to density changes:
- Checkbox
- Chip
- ElevatedButton
- IconButton
- InputDecorator (which gives density support to TextField, etc.)
- ListTile
- MaterialButton
- OutlinedButton
- Radio
- RawMaterialButton
- TextButton

Methods
-
copyWith(
{double? horizontal, double? vertical}) → VisualDensity - Copy the current VisualDensity with the given values replacing the current values.
-
debugFillProperties(
DiagnosticPropertiesBuilder properties) → void -
Add additional properties associated with the node.
override
-
effectiveConstraints(
BoxConstraints constraints) → BoxConstraints -
Return a copy of
constraintswhose minimum width and height have been updated with the baseSizeAdjustment. -
noSuchMethod(
Invocation invocation) → dynamic -
Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
inherited
-
toDiagnosticsNode(
{String? name, DiagnosticsTreeStyle? style}) → DiagnosticsNode -
Returns a debug representation of the object that is used by debugging
tools and by DiagnosticsNode.toStringDeep.
inherited
-
toString(
{DiagnosticLevel minLevel = DiagnosticLevel.info}) → String -
A string representation of this object.
inherited
-
toStringShort(
) → String -
A brief description of this object, usually just the runtimeType and the
hashCode.
override
Operators
-
operator ==(
Object other) → bool -
The equality operator.
override
Static Properties
- adaptivePlatformDensity → VisualDensity
-
Returns a VisualDensity that is adaptive based on the current platform
on which the framework is executing, from defaultTargetPlatform.
no setter
Static Methods
-
defaultDensityForPlatform(
TargetPlatform platform) → VisualDensity -
Returns a VisualDensity that is adaptive based on the given
platform. -
lerp(
VisualDensity a, VisualDensity b, double t) → VisualDensity - Linearly interpolate between two densities.
