How do I make a specific part of a transparent image clickable? - flutter

Question

I have a stack in a Flutter app, that stacks multiple images on top of each other. They are all of the same width and height, and have transparent backgrounds.
Individually, they look like this:
When they overlap, they look like this:
I need to make the visible part of each picture clickable. I do not want any interaction with the transparent part of any image. I've tried using GestureDetector, but since all the images are of the same size, it isn't working too well. How do I achieve this?

Answer 1

Circle the borders of the picture in any vector graphics editor, I used figma.com, it's free.
Save it as svg file, open it and copy path from svg.
Convert svg paths to Flutter Paths, I've used the path_drawing package.
Use custom clipper to clip image by path.
Unfortunately, path_drawing package ignores the beginning of the path. So you need to add it, by adding offset.
Add GestureDetector.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:path_drawing/path_drawing.dart';
void main() => runApp(MyApp());
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
title: 'Flutter Demo',
theme: ThemeData(
primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
),
home: Scaffold(
body: SafeArea(
child: MyHomePage(),
),
),
);
}
}
class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
#override
_MyHomePageState createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}
class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
String clicked = '';
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Stack(
children: <Widget>[
_getClippedImage(
clipper: _Clipper(
svgPath: svgCarPath,
offset: Offset(66, 157),
),
image: 'assets/image.png',
onClick: _handleClick('car'),
),
_getClippedImage(
clipper: _Clipper(
svgPath: svgManPath,
offset: Offset(115, 53),
),
image: 'assets/image.png',
onClick: _handleClick('man'),
),
Positioned(
child: Text(
clicked,
style: TextStyle(fontSize: 30),
),
bottom: 0,
),
],
);
}
void Function() _handleClick(String clickedImage) {
return () => setState(() {
clicked = clickedImage;
});
}
Widget _getClippedImage({
_Clipper clipper,
String image,
void Function() onClick,
}) {
return ClipPath(
clipper: clipper,
child: GestureDetector(
onTap: onClick,
child: Image.asset('assets/image.png'),
),
);
}
}
class _Clipper extends CustomClipper<Path> {
_Clipper({this.svgPath, this.offset = Offset.zero});
String svgPath;
Offset offset;
#override
Path getClip(Size size) {
var path = parseSvgPathData(svgPath);
return path.shift(offset);
}
#override
bool shouldReclip(CustomClipper oldClipper) {
return false;
}
}
