how do we create a proper Semi Circular Slider that has "steps" line division. I have checked out many packages on pub.dev but they doesn't seem to provide a proper Semi Circular Slider. They look more like progress bar rather than a slider
Any thoughts please?
This can be done with a CustomPainter, GestureDetector, and a bunch of math.
