setting container width |
to specify the width of a container |
widget, use its width property. |
this is a fixed width, unlike the CSS max-width property |
that adjusts the container width up to a maximum value. |
to mimic that effect in flutter, |
use the constraints property of the container. |
create a new BoxConstraints widget with a minWidth or maxWidth. |
for nested containers, if the parent’s width is less than the child’s width, |
the child container sizes itself to match the parent. |

manipulating position and size |
the following examples show how to perform more complex operations |
on widget position, size, and background. |

setting absolute position |
by default, widgets are positioned relative to their parent. |
to specify an absolute position for a widget as x-y coordinates, |
nest it in a positioned widget that is, |
in turn, nested in a stack widget. |

rotating components |
to rotate a widget, nest it in a transform widget. |
use the transform widget’s alignment and origin properties |
to specify the transform origin (fulcrum) in relative and absolute terms, |
respectively. |
for a simple 2d rotation, in which the widget is rotated on the z axis, |
create a new matrix4 identity object |
and use its rotateZ() method to specify the rotation factor |
using radians (degrees × π / 180). |

scaling components |
to scale a widget up or down, nest it in a transform widget. |
use the transform widget’s alignment and origin properties |
to specify the transform origin (fulcrum) in relative or absolute terms, |
respectively. |
for a simple scaling operation along the x-axis, |
create a new matrix4 identity object |
and use its scale() method to specify the scaling factor. |
when you scale a parent widget, |
its child widgets are scaled accordingly. |

applying a linear gradient |
to apply a linear gradient to a widget’s background, |
nest it in a container widget. |
then use the container widget’s decoration property to create a |
BoxDecoration object, and use BoxDecoration’s gradient |
property to transform the background fill. |
the gradient “angle” is based on the alignment (x, y) values: |

manipulating shapes |
the following examples show how to make and customize shapes. |

rounding corners |
to round the corners of a rectangular shape, |
use the borderRadius property of a BoxDecoration object. |
create a new BorderRadius |
object that specifies the radius for rounding each corner. |

adding box shadows |
in CSS you can specify shadow offset and blur in shorthand, |
using the box-shadow property. this example shows two box shadows, |
with properties: |
in flutter, each property and value is specified separately. |
use the boxShadow property of BoxDecoration to create a list of |
BoxShadow widgets. you can define one or multiple |
BoxShadow widgets, which can be stacked |
to customize the shadow depth, color, and so on. |

making circles and ellipses |
making a circle in CSS requires a workaround of applying a |
border-radius of 50% to all four sides of a rectangle, |
though there are basic shapes. |
while this approach is supported |
with the borderRadius property of BoxDecoration, |
flutter provides a shape property |
with BoxShape enum for this purpose. |

manipulating text |
the following examples show how to specify fonts and other |
text attributes. they also show how to transform text strings, |
customize spacing, and create excerpts. |
