RotatedBox Widget in Flutter

The RotatedBox widget is used to rotate its child by an integral number of quarter turns. It is used to orient its child widgets into either horizontal or vertical orientation. Furthermore, it is very lightweight and can be used for designing various UI as it gives flexibility to the user over the Design of the app.

Constructors:

Syntax: RotatedBox({Key key, @required int quarterTurns, Widget child})

Properties:

• child: The widget below this widget in the tree.
• hashCode: The hash code for this object.
• key: Controls how one widget replaces another widget in the tree.
• runtimeType: A representation of the runtime type of the object.
• quarterTurn: This property takes an int value as the object. It controls the number of quarter-turn the object should be rotated.

Methods:

• createRenderObject (BuildContext context): This method takes in RenderRotatedBox class (override) as the object. It creates an instance of the RenderObject class.
• updateRenderObject (BuildContext context, covariant RenderRotatedBox renderObject): This method takes void as the object. This assign the configuration set by RenderObjectWidget to RenderObject.

Example:

Dart

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() {
runApp(MyApp());
}
// Class 1
// Extending StatelessWidget class
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
// This widget is
//the root of your application.
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
    title: 'ClipOval',
    theme: ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
    ),
    home: MyHomePAGE(),
    debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
    );
}
}

// Class 2
// Extending StatelessWidget class
class MyHomePAGE extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
    appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text('GeeksforGeeks'),
        backgroundColor: Colors.green,
    ),
    body: Center(
        child: RotatedBox(
            quarterTurns: 3,
            child: const Text('Hello Geeks!'),
        )
    ),
    backgroundColor: Colors.lightBlue[50],
    );
}
}

Output:

Output explanation:

1. First, initialize the main app as a stateless widget.
2. Second design the main widget as you desire.
3. Build the Appbar with the scaffold widget.
4. Now use the RotatedBox widget inside the body of the scaffold widget and place it inside a center widget.
