Core Components

Image Flood Fill

The core coloring mechanism uses an optimized flood fill algorithm with three implementations:

• Basic recursive flood fill

• Queue-based flood fill

• Span-based flood fill (recommended)

class ImageFloodFillSpanImpl extends FloodFill<ui.Image, Color> {
    // Implementation details in utils/image_flood_fill.dart
}

Color Picker

The custom color picker includes:

• Pre-defined color palettes

• Custom color creation

• Color wheel and grid views

• Recent colors history

State Management

The app uses Provider for state management with two main providers:

• EditedImagesProvider: Manages saved colored images

• FavoriteImagesProvider: Handles favorite images

class EditedImagesProvider extends ChangeNotifier {
    // Implementation details
}

Local Storage

The app uses SharedPreferences for persistent storage of:

• Edited images paths

• Favorite images paths

• User preferences

Customization

Theming

Customize the app's appearance by modifying the theme in main.dart:

ThemeData(
    colorScheme: ColorScheme.fromSeed(
        seedColor: Colors.white,
        primary: Colors.amber,
        // Customize colors here
    ),
    // More theme customization
)

Adding New Images

To add new coloring pages:

2. Add images to assets/coloring_pages/

4. Update the pubspec.yaml file

6. Add image paths to the gallery list

Modifying Color Palettes

static final List<List<Color>> _colorPalettes = [
    // Modify color palettes here
];
