Scribble

Scribble is a lightweight library for freehand drawing in Flutter supporting pressure, variable line width and more!

At the moment, scribble needs at least Flutter 2.5 to work

scribble_demo

Note: Scribble is still in development and will receive more features down the line!

Features

  • Variable line width
  • Pen and touch pressure support
  • Lines get slimmer when the pen is moved more quickly
  • Line eraser support
  • Full undo/redo support using history_state_notifier
  • Sketches are fully serializable

Pipeline

  • Load sketches
  • PNG export

Usage

You can find a full working example in the example directory

You can create a drawing surface by adding the Scribble widget to your widget tree and passing in
a ScribbleNotifier.

Where you manage this notifier is up to you, but since it is a StateNotifier, it works amazingly
with riverpod for example.

import 'package:flutter_riverpod/flutter_riverpod.dart';

final scribbleStateProvider =
StateNotifierProvider.autoDispose<ScribbleNotifier, ScribbleState>(
      (ref) => ScribbleNotifier(),
);

You can then pass the notifier to the scribble widget.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_riverpod/flutter_riverpod.dart';

class App extends ConsumerWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context, ScopedReader watch) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: Scribble(
        notifier: watch(scribbleStateProvider.notifier),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Use the public methods on ScribbleNotifier to control the behavior (for example from a button in the UI:

// Set color
notifier.setColor(Colors.black);

// Clear
notifier.clear();

// Undo
notifier.undo();

//... 

Additional information

As mentioned above, the package is still under development, but we already use it in the app we are currently
developing.
