Draw and interact with SVG in Flutter


We are developing an application which displays a human body, based on a SVG input. This human body is divided in several regions, think of a head, left-arm, right-arm, belly etc.

We want to highlight a region of the image when the user clicks on for example one arm. What is the best way to achieve such a thing in Flutter?

We tried to use Flare for Flutter, but this librart does not provide direct interaction with the human body being displayed.

Is there an easier way to:

Note that simple boxes will not work since parts of the image overlap. You can see the effect we want to achieve, I clicked on one arm here. Drawing some clickable box around it, will not work well.

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • I made it working by using the built_path library, which precompiles SVG paths into Path objects. We then wrapped it into a ClipPath Widget as follows:

    return GestureDetector(
        onTap: () => _bodyPartTapped(part),
        child: ClipPath(
            child: Stack(children: <Widget>[
              Container(
                  color: pressedBodyPart == part
                      ? Colors.blue
                      : Colors.transparent),
              CustomPaint(painter: PathPainter(path))
            ]),
            clipper: PathClipper(path)));
    

    It will color a body part blue if it's pressed, which is working perfectly fine.
