Border class

A border of a box, comprised of four sides: top, right, bottom, left.

The sides are represented by BorderSide objects.

All four borders the same, two-pixel wide solid white: 
Border.all(width: 2.0, color: const Color(0xFFFFFFFF))

The border for a material design divider: 
Border(bottom: BorderSide(color: Theme.of(context).dividerColor))

A 1990s-era "OK" button: 
Container(
  decoration: const BoxDecoration(
    border: Border(
      top: BorderSide(width: 1.0, color: Color(0xFFFFFFFFFF)),
      left: BorderSide(width: 1.0, color: Color(0xFFFFFFFFFF)),
      right: BorderSide(width: 1.0, color: Color(0xFFFF000000)),
      bottom: BorderSide(width: 1.0, color: Color(0xFFFF000000)),
    ),
  ),
  child: Container(
    padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 20.0, vertical: 2.0),
    decoration: const BoxDecoration(
      border: Border(
        top: BorderSide(width: 1.0, color: Color(0xFFFFDFDFDF)),
        left: BorderSide(width: 1.0, color: Color(0xFFFFDFDFDF)),
        right: BorderSide(width: 1.0, color: Color(0xFFFF7F7F7F)),
        bottom: BorderSide(width: 1.0, color: Color(0xFFFF7F7F7F)),
      ),
      color: Color(0xFFBFBFBF),
    ),
    child: const Text(
      'OK',
      textAlign: TextAlign.center,
      style: TextStyle(color: Color(0xFF000000))
    ),
  ),
)

  • BoxDecoration, which uses this class to describe its edge decoration.
  • BorderSide, which is used to describe each side of the box.
  • Theme, from the material layer, which can be queried to obtain appropriate colors to use for borders in a material app, as shown in the "divider" sample above.

lerpFrom(ShapeBorder a, double t) → ShapeBorder
Linearly interpolates from another ShapeBorder (possibly of another class) to this. [...]
override
lerpTo(ShapeBorder b, double t) → ShapeBorder
Linearly interpolates from this to another ShapeBorder (possibly of another class). [...]

paint(Canvas canvas, Rect rect, { TextDirection textDirection, BoxShape shape: BoxShape.rectangle, BorderRadius borderRadius }) → void
Paints the border within the given Rect on the given Canvas. [...]
override
scale(double t) → Border
Creates a copy of this border, scaled by the factor t. [...]
override
toString() → String
Returns a string representation of this object.
override
getInnerPath(Rect rect, { TextDirection textDirection }) → Path
Create a Path that describes the inner edge of the border. [...]
inherited
getOuterPath(Rect rect, { TextDirection textDirection }) → Path
Create a Path that describes the outer edge of the border. [...]

Invoked when a non-existent method or property is accessed. [...]

Operators

operator ==(dynamic other) → bool
The equality operator. [...]
override
operator +(ShapeBorder other) → ShapeBorder
Creates a new border consisting of the two borders on either side of the operator. [...]

Static Methods

lerp(Border a, Border b, double t) → Border

override
merge(Border a, Border b) → Border
Creates a Border that represents the addition of the two given Borders. [...]
