Flutter: How would one save a Canvas/CustomPainter

问题:

I am trying to collect a signature from the user and save it to an image. I have made it far enough that I can draw on the screen, but now I'd like to click a button to save to an image and store in my database.

This is what I have so far:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class SignaturePadPage extends StatefulWidget {
  SignaturePadPage({Key key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  _SignaturePadPage createState() => new _SignaturePadPage();
}
class _SignaturePadPage extends State<SignaturePadPage> {

  List<Offset> _points = <Offset>[];

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Container(
      color: Colors.white,
      child: GestureDetector(
        onPanUpdate: (DragUpdateDetails details) {
          setState(() {
            RenderBox referenceBox = context.findRenderObject();
            Offset localPosition =
            referenceBox.globalToLocal(details.globalPosition);
            _points = new List.from(_points)..add(localPosition);
          });
        },
        onPanEnd: (DragEndDetails details) => _points.add(null),
        child: new CustomPaint(painter: new SignaturePainter(_points)),
      ),
    );
  }
}

class SignaturePainter extends CustomPainter {
  SignaturePainter(this.points);
  final List<Offset> points;
  void paint(Canvas canvas, Size size) {
    Paint paint = new Paint()
      ..color = Colors.black
      ..strokeCap = StrokeCap.round
      ..strokeWidth = 5.0;
    for (int i = 0; i < points.length - 1; i++) {
      if (points[i] != null && points[i + 1] != null)
        canvas.drawLine(points[i], points[i + 1], paint);
    }
  }
  bool shouldRepaint(SignaturePainter other) => other.points != points;
}

Not sure where to go from there...

回答1:

You can capture the output of a CustomPainter with PictureRecorder. Pass your PictureRecorder instance to the constructor for your Canvas. The Picture returned by PictureRecorder.endRecording can then be converted to an Image with Picture.toImage. Finally, extract the image bytes using Image.toByteData.

Here's an example: https://github.com/rxlabz/flutter_canvas_to_image

回答2:

Add the rendered method in your widget

  ui.Image get rendered {
    // [CustomPainter] has its own @canvas to pass our
    // [ui.PictureRecorder] object must be passed to [Canvas]#contructor
    // to capture the Image. This way we can pass @recorder to [Canvas]#contructor
    // using @painter[SignaturePainter] we can call [SignaturePainter]#paint
    // with the our newly created @canvas
    ui.PictureRecorder recorder = ui.PictureRecorder();
    Canvas canvas = Canvas(recorder);
    SignaturePainter painter = SignaturePainter(points: _points);
    var size = context.size;
    painter.paint(canvas, size);
    return recorder.endRecording()
        .toImage(size.width.floor(), size.height.floor());
  }

Then using state fetch the rendered image

var image = signatureKey.currentState.rendered

Now, you can produce png Image using toByteData(format: ui.ImageByteFormat.png) and store using asInt8List()

var pngBytes = await image.toByteData(format: ui.ImageByteFormat.png)
File('your-path/filename.png')
    .writeAsBytesSync(pngBytes.buffer.asInt8List())
