What's the indication of the scissor symbol in Flutter paint debug mode?


When I toggle the Paint Debug mode in a Flutter mobile app, there's a scissor appears at the left top of the AppBar (the picture). What's its indication? It's not that important question, but I always get curious when I see it.

Solution

  • In the Flutter inspector's documentation, it is written that this is to represent a clipping:

    Clipping, for example when using the ClipRect widget, are shown with a dashed pink line with a scissors icon.
