I am looking for a way to do something like this in Flutter:
The flag itself could be any widget, not only an image.
I had this idea of using a sin function in combination with a stateful Widget, but I basically have 2 problems:
I don't know how to access each pixel of the Widget.
If I do have access to each pixel, I don't know how to change its elevation (I know I can change the elevation of an entire Widget, but how do I do this in only part of a Widget?).
If I could solve these 2 points then I think I can try to elevate each pixel (and also change its color a bit) according to the output of a sin wave function and replicate the above effect.
Does anybody have any idea if something like this is possible in Flutter? Can anyone point me to the right direction to achieve such an effect?

I am wondering how I would be able to use animated shapes inside a movieclip that would be acting as a mask?
In my Animate CC canvas file I have an instance (stripeMask) that should mask the below instance called mapAnim.
stripeMask contains shapes that are animating in.
So when the function maskIn is called, the playhead should move to the first frame inside the stripeMask clip (the one after frame 0) and animate the mask like so:
function maskIn(){
//maskAnimation to reveal image below
stripeMask.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
I love AnimateCC and it works great, but the need for creating more complex and animated masks is there and it's not easy to achieve unless I am missing something here.
Thanks!
Currently you can only use a Shape as a mask, not a Container or MovieClip.
If you want to do something more complex, you can use something like AlphaMaskFilter, but it has to be cached, and then updated every time the mask OR the content updates:
something.filters = [new createjs.AlphaMaskFilter(stripeMask)];
something cache(0,0,w,h);
// On Change
something.updateCache(); // Re-caches
The source of the AlphaMaskFilter must be an image, so you can either point to a Bitmap image, or a cacheCanvas of a mask clip you have also cached. Note that if the mask changes, the cache has to be updated as well.
This is admittedly not a fantastic solution, and we are working on other options.
I'm trying to do this animation in flutter :
https://material.io/guidelines/motion/choreography.html#choreography-creation
My problem is that I have absolutely no idea how to do that.
As far as I know, widgets in flutter don't know their position nor the position or other widgets at all.
And you can't access context.size inside the build method.
I tried to use Hero animation to do it. Or ScaleTransition. But it's definitely not working.
You can use showMenu to dynamically show a popup menu at a given location. Consider using PopupMenuButton, which is an IconButton that automatically shows a menu when it is tapped. There's an example in the Gallery. If showMenu doesn't do what you want, you can copy the code in popup_menu.dart and customize it to make your own version. It uses CustomSingleChildLayout and PopupRoute.
If you just want to absolutely position a Material or Card on top of other elements, you can give it some elevation and use a Positioned within a Stack. You can use an AnimatedSize to adjust the element's size with a Curve. This won't interact with the back button on Android automatically, so if you want that, you may have to use addLocalHistoryEntry or PopupRoute.
If I understand you correct - you want to show square widget, and animation is not suitable at most because widget doesn't know its size.
In this case you can try MediaQuery.of(context).size.width - it returns width of your screen, so you can use it for calculating widgets size
What do I need to read up on to tint the image I draw with a predefined color. Alternatively just adjust the alpha value? I've played around with BlendMode but I basically don't know what I'm doing. :)
Simplyfied code below
_backgroundImage = UIImage.FromFile ("whiteblock.png");
var ctx = UIGraphics.GetCurrentContext ();
// What do I do here to tint or adjust alpha of the image
ctx.DrawImage (rect, _backgroundImage.CGImage);

I recommend starting with the Core Image Filter reference docs (see also CIFilter).
(Note that depending on the version of the OS, not all filters may be available.)
You probably want to focus on the filters in the CICategoryColorAdjustment category.
In particular, the CITemperatureAndTint filter can adjust the tint of the image, as you ask. But, it is not straightforward to use.* There are other questions on StackOverflow describing it, like this one: Input parameters of CITemperatureAndTint (CIFilter)
Finally check out the MonoTouch docs for a code example with CITemperatureAndTint. (I believe the image attached to the examples given there are wrong, as they show a scaled image, not a tinted image.)
*It takes two parameters, each a 2D CIVector. I believe the first component of the vector is temperature and should be in the ballpark of (1k ... 30k). I believe the second component is wavelength, so in the ballpark of (380 ... 700). If someone knows better, correct me.
I am a newbie in designing flash content. I am designing a flash movie to put up in my website. I need clouds to roll in the background. I have a cloud image, but I want it to roll in the background as below.
<---cloud_img
---cloud_img<
--cloud_img<-
-cloud_img<--
cloud_img<---
loud_img<---c
oud_img<---cl
Is it possible to achieve this kind of effect in flash. I am using swish max to develop flash. Give me some ideas to achieve this effect smoothly.
The easiest way to achieve that is to make your image doubled horizontally, and then simply scroll it from left to right. When you reach the rightmost position (whole right image is showing), reset the position to the display the whole left image. Rinse. Repeat.
You might want to apply a single-image wide mask to the movieclip/sprite/image, so the extras don't show in the display.
I've been banging my head about this seemingly easy task and I could really use some help.
I have a wide Image loaded in the gui (using the designer..) and I want to be able to draw only a portion of it, a rectangle.
I need to be able to change this rectangle position over the large image, in order to draw a different part of the larger image at will. In this process the rect must maintain its size.
Using the Ui::MainWindow object I'm able to access the label holding the image and a solution that involves using this option is preferred (in order to keep up with the rest of the code I've already written )
Any solution will be much appreciated :)
Thanks,
Itamar
I would definitely (for ease of use) just place an empty label as placeholder in Designer.
Then implement the paintEvent for this label (delegate it to your own method). You'll have also have to look into QPainter, QPixMap, etc... Should be doable based on these hints and the documentation.
If you want more, I suggest you provide a small code snippet to work upon.
If you want to do this more or less purely through designer, you could put a QScrollArea where you want the portion of the image to appear. If you set the scroll area's scrollbar policy to be never shown, you can then manually change what part is visible via the scroll area widget. However, this would probably be more complex that creating a derived widget and reimplementing the paint function.
