ToggleButton

Common

Component in Material 3 Compose

TODO link to mio page when available.

Toggle button is a toggleable button that switches between primary and tonal colors depending on [checked]'s value. It also morphs between the three shapes provided in [shapes] depending on the state of the interaction with the toggle button as long as the three shapes provided our [CornerBasedShape]s. If a shape in [shapes] isn't a [CornerBasedShape], then toggle button will toggle between the [ButtonShapes] according to user interaction.

TODO link to an image when available

see [Button] for a static button that doesn't need to be toggled. see [IconToggleButton] for a toggleable button where the content is specifically an [Icon].
