Segment display widget for Flutter

segment display widget

segment display widget for flutter. supports multiple types of segment displays and segment customization.

features

• 7-segment display
• 14-segment display
• 16-segment display
• customizable segment shapes (segment styles)
• supports . (decimal point) and : (colon) characters

see web demo.

note: flutter web support is currently in beta, so you may experience some issues.

installation

1. depend on it

add this to your package’s pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  segment_display: ^0.4.1

2. install it

you can install packages from the command line:

$ flutter packages get

alternatively, your editor might support flutter packages get. check the docs for your editor to learn more.

3. import it

now in your dart code, you can use:

import 'package:segment_display/segment_display.dart';

usage

seven-segment display

example:

sevensegmentdisplay(
  value: "123",
  size: 12.0,
)

fourteen-segment display

example:

fourteensegmentdisplay(
  value: "123",
  size: 12.0,
)

sixteen-segment display

example:

sixteensegmentdisplay(
  value: "123",
  size: 12.0,
)

styles and customization

you can customize segment display with:

• characterspacing– space between individual characters
• backgroundcolor – display background color
• segmentstyle – style for segments (shape, color,…), see segment style

example:

sevensegmentdisplay(
  text: "123",
  textsize: 12.0,
  characterspacing: 10.0,
  backgroundcolor: colors.transparent,
  segmentstyle: hexsegmentstyle(
    enabledcolor: colors.red,
    disabledcolor: colors.red.withopacity(0.15),
  ),
)

segment display widget style

to change segment color, size or shape, use segment style.

there are following segment styles:

• defaultsegmentstyle
  
• hexsegmentstyle
  
• rectsegmentstyle
  

and you can also create or own style (shape) – see custom segment styles

example:

sevensegmentdisplay(
  value: "13:37",
  size: 12.0,
  segmentstyle: hexsegmentstyle(
    enabledcolor: const color(0xff00ff00),
    disabledcolor: const color(0xff00ff00).withopacity(0.15),
    segmentbasesize: const size(1.0, 2.0),
  ),
)

• enabledcolor – color of enabled segments
• disabledcolor – color of disabled segments
• segmentbasesize – size ratio for segments; size(1.0, 2.0) basically means that ratio will be 1:2 (width:length)

note: segmentstyle.segmentbasesize * segmentdisplay.textsize = segmentsize

custom segment styles

to create your own segment style (shape), extends segmentstyle class and implement methods
createhorizontalpath, createverticalpath, creatediagonalbackwardpath and creatediagonalforwardpath.

class customsegmentstyle extends segmentstyle {

  const customsegmentstyle({
    size segmentbasesize,
    color enabledcolor,
    color disabledcolor,
  }) : super(
          segmentbasesize: segmentbasesize,
          enabledcolor: enabledcolor,
          disabledcolor: disabledcolor,
        );
  @override
  path createhorizontalpath(segmentposition position, size segmentsize) {
    // ...
  }
  
  @override
  path createverticalpath(segmentposition position, size segmentsize) {
    // ...
  }
  
  @override
  path creatediagonalbackwardpath(segmentposition position, size segmentsize) {
    // ...
  }
  
  @override
  path creatediagonalforwardpath(segmentposition position, size segmentsize) {
    // ...
  }
}

you can also customize shape for individual segments by overriding createpath** methods.
for 7-segment display, there are createpath7* methods, for 14-segment display createpath14* and so on.

example: if you want to change the shape of the top segment in 7-segment display, you just have to override createpath7a method.

class customsegmentstyle extends segmentstyle {

  // ..
  
  @override
  path createpath7a(size segmentsize, double padding) {
    // ...
  }
  
  // ...
  
}

note: createpath** methods use createhorizontalpath/createverticalpath/creatediagonalbackwardpath/creatediagonalforwardpath by default so you don’t have to override all createpath7* methods.
