FlexParentData.flex
layout explorer supports 7 flex options in the UI
(null, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5), but technically the flex
factor of a flex widget’s child can be any int.

FlexFit: loose and tight.

fixed size layouts
when you select a fixed size widget that is not a child
of a flex widget, fixed size layout information will appear
in the layout explorer. you can see size, constraint, and padding
information for both the selected widget and its nearest upstream
RenderObject.

visual debugging
the flutter inspector provides several options for visually debugging your app.

slow animations
when enabled, this option runs animations 5 times slower for easier visual
inspection.
this can be useful if you want to carefully observe and tweak an animation that
doesn’t look quite right.
this can also be set in code:
<code_start>
import 'package:flutter/scheduler.dart';
void setSlowAnimations() {
timeDilation = 5.0;
}
<code_end>
this slows the animations by 5x.

the following links provide more info.
the following screen recordings show before and after slowing an animation.

show guidelines
this feature draws guidelines over your app that display render boxes, alignments,
paddings, scroll views, clippings and spacers.
this tool can be used for better understanding your layout. for instance,
by finding unwanted padding or understanding widget alignment.
you can also enable this in code:
<code_start>
import 'package:flutter/rendering.dart';
void showLayoutGuidelines() {
debugPaintSizeEnabled = true;
}
<code_end>
<topic_end>
<topic_start>
render boxes
widgets that draw to the screen create a render box, the
building blocks of flutter layouts. they’re shown with a bright blue border:
<topic_end>
<topic_start>
alignments
alignments are shown with yellow arrows. these arrows show the vertical
and horizontal offsets of a widget relative to its parent.
for example, this button’s icon is shown as being centered by the four arrows:
<topic_end>
<topic_start>
padding
padding is shown with a semi-transparent blue background:
<topic_end>
<topic_start>
scroll views
widgets with scrolling contents (such as list views) are shown with green arrows:
<topic_end>
<topic_start>
clipping
clipping, for example when using the ClipRect widget, are shown
with a dashed pink line with a scissors icon:
<topic_end>
<topic_start>
spacers
spacer widgets are shown with a grey background,
such as this SizedBox without a child:
<topic_end>
<topic_start>
show baselines
this option makes all baselines visible.
baselines are horizontal lines used to position text.
this can be useful for checking whether text is precisely aligned vertically.
for example, the text baselines in the following screenshot are slightly misaligned:
the baseline widget can be used to adjust baselines.
a line is drawn on any render box that has a baseline set;
alphabetic baselines are shown as green and ideographic as yellow.
you can also enable this in code:
<code_start>
import 'package:flutter/rendering.dart';
void showBaselines() {
debugPaintBaselinesEnabled = true;
