On round displays, a page indicator is curved. This behavior is implemented in the HorizontalPageIndicator
class. It is made up of one active indicator and at least one inactive indicator.
A. Inactive Indicator
B. Active Indicator
Use indicators to show users where you are in a carousel. Orient content from left to right.
Usage
Adaptive layouts
Centre of the dot (indicator) circumference aligns near or on the circular grid for optical balance, this means the curve angle changes slightly as the screen size increases.
