I want to achieve something like the below picture using canvas. How can I achieve something like this?
Is there some reference that I can look up?
You can draw it with Path and cubicTo.
path.cubicTo(x1 = x1, y1 = y1, x2 = x2, y2 = y2, x3 = x3, y3 = y3)
For a dashed effect, you should use:
drawPath(
color = Color.Green,
path = path,
style = Stroke(
width = 3.dp.toPx(),
pathEffect = PathEffect.dashPathEffect(floatArrayOf(10f, 10f))
)
)
With the sample below, I think it will make it easy to understand how the cubic changes by changing the start(x0, y0), end(x3, y3) and control points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2).
@Composable
fun DrawCubic() {
Column(
modifier = Modifier
.fillMaxSize()
.verticalScroll(rememberScrollState())
) {
val density = LocalDensity.current.density
val configuration = LocalConfiguration.current
val screenWidth = configuration.screenWidthDp.dp
val screenWidthInPx = screenWidth.value * density
// (x0, y0) is initial coordinate where path is moved with path.moveTo(x0,y0)
var x0 by remember { mutableStateOf(0f) }
var y0 by remember { mutableStateOf(0f) }
/*
Adds a cubic bezier segment that curves from the current point(x0,y0) to the
given point (x3, y3), using the control points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2).
*/
var x1 by remember { mutableStateOf(0f) }
var y1 by remember { mutableStateOf(screenWidthInPx) }
var x2 by remember { mutableStateOf(screenWidthInPx/2) }
var y2 by remember { mutableStateOf(0f) }
var x3 by remember { mutableStateOf(screenWidthInPx) }
var y3 by remember { mutableStateOf(screenWidthInPx/2) }
val path = remember { Path() }
Canvas(
modifier = Modifier
.padding(8.dp)
.shadow(1.dp)
.background(Color.White)
.size(screenWidth, screenWidth/2)
) {
path.reset()
path.moveTo(x0, y0)
path.cubicTo(x1 = x1, y1 = y1, x2 = x2, y2 = y2, x3 = x3, y3 = y3)
drawPath(
color = Color.Green,
path = path,
style = Stroke(
width = 3.dp.toPx(),
pathEffect = PathEffect.dashPathEffect(floatArrayOf(10f, 10f))
)
)
// Draw Control Points on screen
drawPoints(
listOf(Offset(x1, y1), Offset(x2, y2)),
color = Color.Green,
pointMode = PointMode.Points,
cap = StrokeCap.Round,
strokeWidth = 40f
)
}
Column(modifier = Modifier.padding(horizontal = 20.dp)) {
Text(text = "X0: ${x0.roundToInt()}")
Slider(
value = x0,
onValueChange = { x0 = it },
valueRange = 0f..screenWidthInPx,
)
Text(text = "Y0: ${y0.roundToInt()}")
Slider(
value = y0,
onValueChange = { y0 = it },
valueRange = 0f..screenWidthInPx,
)
Text(text = "X1: ${x1.roundToInt()}")
Slider(
value = x1,
onValueChange = { x1 = it },
valueRange = 0f..screenWidthInPx,
)
Text(text = "Y1: ${y1.roundToInt()}")
Slider(
value = y1,
onValueChange = { y1 = it },
valueRange = 0f..screenWidthInPx,
)
Text(text = "X2: ${x2.roundToInt()}")
Slider(
value = x2,
onValueChange = { x2 = it },
valueRange = 0f..screenWidthInPx,
)
Text(text = "Y2: ${y2.roundToInt()}")
Slider(
value = y2,
onValueChange = { y2 = it },
valueRange = 0f..screenWidthInPx,
)
Text(text = "X3: ${x3.roundToInt()}")
Slider(
value = x3,
onValueChange = { x3 = it },
valueRange = 0f..screenWidthInPx,
)
Text(text = "Y3: ${y3.roundToInt()}")
Slider(
value = y3,
onValueChange = { y3 = it },
valueRange = 0f..screenWidthInPx,
)
}
}
}
