   Yes! To the widget gallery http://flutter.io/widgets/

   For many of the basic widgets, diagrams would be helpful.

   Pretty simple on Android:

   I've considered adding a flutter screenshot command to make this even easier.

   The flutter tools depend on the imobiledevice library already, which includes idevicescreenshot to make it possible to pull screenshots from an iOS device as well.

    Here's a proposal:

    • Have some dartdocs have little code snippets showing how to use the widget.
    • Make an application display each such snippet in turn, and with each one output to the console a marker.
    • Have a script watch the console, and call adb screenshot each time the marker is seen, saving the screenshot in a predictable way.
    • Have a script upload the screenshots somewhere predictable.
    • Reference the screen shots from the dartdocs.
    • Have this whole thing play out with each change, so that the screenshots are always up to date.

    This is the bug I was thinking of that talked about having bots automatically generate screen shots and uploading them so that the documentation could have continually-updated pictures of the widgets.
