slotWidth vs slotHeight

[vd3d]

Hi,

I wish to have slots of fixed size in pixels, I have see the following parameters:

slotHeight
slotAspectRatio

I have not found any 'slotWidth' parameter. But still I have try this:

slotHeight: 32
slotAspectRatio : 1

But it is not accepted and I got an exception. So, is there a way to got a fixed size (for the slots) for width & heights ?

Thanks

I have found a solution, but it requires to modify the source code a little. Maybe you can add this feature officialy ? (Or not, up to you). BTW, I'm not aware of any other way of doing this.

1. Adding slowWidth in the Dashboard class

  /// [slotWidth] determines slots width by fixed length.
  final double? slotWidth;

2. Adding 'slotWidth' in the Dashboard constructor

3. In method '_setNewOffset', replace
   _layoutController._setSizes(_layoutController._viewportDelegate.resolvedConstrains, h);
   with
   _layoutController._setSizes(_layoutController._viewportDelegate.resolvedConstrains, h, widget.slotWidth);

4. In _DashboardLayoutController, replace _setSizes with this version:

  void _setSizes(BoxConstraints constrains, double vertical, double? horizontal) {
    verticalSlotEdge = vertical;
    slotEdge = (_axis == Axis.vertical ? constrains.maxWidth : constrains.maxHeight) / slotCount;
    if (horizontal != null) slotEdge = horizontal;
  }

Thanks for reading

@vd3d The SlotWidth feature can't be implemented for this package since there is no horizontal scrolling option. If we allowed you to set the width, there's a high chance that the last slot might not fit properly, leaving it with only a portion of the slotWidth. This would cause issues when placing widgets in that slot. The width of each slot is determined by the slotCount property and the total width of the dashboard you've provided.

Additionally, the slotAspectRatio helps set the height of each block when the slotHeight property is not specified. If you look at the code in dashboard.dart, you'll see there's an assertion preventing both SlotHeight and slotAspectRatio from being used simultaneously. You can only pass one of them, as both are responsible for determining the height of each slot.
