Enhancing Image Rendering Efficiency

Handling large images often leads to excessive consumption of device memory. To tackle this issue, DevTools offers valuable insights into identifying images that are too large.

To optimize, consider setting 'cacheWidth' or 'cacheHeight' properties on your images. This approach decodes and stores images in memory at a designated size.

There is also a ResizeImage class in the SDK that can be used to resize the image.

See how the GSkinner team utilized AppImage in the Wonderous project, offering a real-world example of these techniques in action - https://buff.ly/46sE71y

I have created SVG vs Iconfont Performance Benchmark

It tracks the rasterization, which is the process of rendering UI objects as pixels on the screen.

The icon font is much better on the GPU thread. SVG's complexity leads to expensive rasterization, which easily overwhelms the GPU and causes stutters.

You can check the full benchmark here https://github.com/hawkkiller/svg_iconfont_benchmark

Note that I tested on my MacBook, which is extremely performant. Testing on a low-end Android device may provide even more insights.

I also tried to add some readmes for better understanding.

Is your layout ready for RTL languages?

A common mistake is using a fixed left/right EdgeInsets or Alignment.

Instead, use their directional counterparts. They provide logical start and end properties, allowing the UI to adapt automatically.
