in terms of how they handle their constraints:
some widgets, for example container,
vary from type to type based on their constructor arguments.
the container constructor defaults
to trying to be as big as possible, but if you give it a width,
for instance, it tries to honor that and be that particular size.
others, for example row and column (flex boxes)
vary based on the constraints they are given,
as described in the flex section.
