CompositedTransformFollower class

A widget that follows a CompositedTransformTarget.

When this widget is composited during the compositing phase (which comes after the paint phase, as described in WidgetsBinding.drawFrame), it applies a transformation that brings targetAnchor of the linked CompositedTransformTarget and followerAnchor of this widget together. The two anchor points will have the same global coordinates, unless offset is not Offset.zero, in which case followerAnchor will be offset by offset in the linked CompositedTransformTarget's coordinate space.

The LayerLink object used as the link must be the same object as that provided to the matching CompositedTransformTarget.

The CompositedTransformTarget must come earlier in the paint order than this CompositedTransformFollower.

Hit testing on descendants of this widget will only work if the target position is within the box that this widget's parent considers to be hittable. If the parent covers the screen, this is trivially achievable, so this widget is usually used as the root of an OverlayEntry in an app-wide Overlay (e.g. as created by the MaterialApp widget's Navigator).

Methods

createElement() SingleChildRenderObjectElement
RenderObjectWidgets always inflate to a RenderObjectElement subclass.
inherited
createRenderObject(BuildContext context) RenderFollowerLayer
Creates an instance of the RenderObject class that this RenderObjectWidget represents, using the configuration described by this RenderObjectWidget.
override
debugDescribeChildren() List<DiagnosticsNode>
Returns a list of DiagnosticsNode objects describing this node's children.
inherited
debugFillProperties(DiagnosticPropertiesBuilder properties) → void
Add additional properties associated with the node.
inherited
didUnmountRenderObject(covariant RenderObject 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.
inherited
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
toStringDeep({String prefixLineOne = '', String? prefixOtherLines, DiagnosticLevel minLevel = DiagnosticLevel.debug}) String
Returns a string representation of this node and its descendants.
inherited
toStringShallow({String joiner = ', ', DiagnosticLevel minLevel = DiagnosticLevel.debug}) String
Returns a one-line detailed description of the object.
inherited
toStringShort() String
A short, textual description of this widget.
inherited
updateRenderObject(BuildContext context, covariant RenderFollowerLayer 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.
