How can I get the center of any composable element...

# compose

[Nikhil]

How can I get the center of any composable element? I was trying using onGloballyPositioned{..} (I also have some other code and I want to avoid adding it this modifier since it’s called a lot.)
Is there any method/modifier where I can get any alternative of `Rect`/ bounds?

What do you need the Rect/Bounds for? Maybe there are other ways to achieve what you are trying to do

[Nikhil]

I need center position/coordinates of the composable element. How can I get that?

Why do you need them?

[Nikhil]

I’m trying to draw some animation from the center of the composable element.

[Waqas Tahir]

this can't be done without size which you would get from onSizeChanged Modifier and then you can calculate center from onGloballyPositioned coordinates , and everytime onSizeChanged is called recalculate the center !

[Nikhil]

Right. That’s what I’m trying right now with onGloballyPositioned{..}. I was asking if there’s any other way.

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

If your animation is just drawing, you can use a drawBehind modifier (or other draw modifier) and then you have access to the size from the DrawScope

Yeah, Thanks.
