center allows ConstrainedBox to be any size up to the |
screen size. the ConstrainedBox imposes additional |
constraints from its constraints parameter onto its child. |
the container must be between 70 and 150 pixels. |
it wants to have 100 pixels, and that’s the size it has, |
since that’s between 70 and 150. |

example 13 |
<code_start> |
UnconstrainedBox( |
child: container(color: red, width: 20, height: 50), |
) |
<code_end> |
the screen forces the UnconstrainedBox to be exactly |
the same size as the screen. however, the UnconstrainedBox |
lets its child container be any size it wants. |

example 14 |
<code_start> |
UnconstrainedBox( |
child: container(color: red, width: 4000, height: 50), |
) |
<code_end> |
the screen forces the UnconstrainedBox to be exactly |
the same size as the screen, and UnconstrainedBox |
lets its child container be any size it wants. |
unfortunately, in this case the container is |
4000 pixels wide and is too big to fit in |
the UnconstrainedBox, so the UnconstrainedBox displays |
the much dreaded “overflow warning”. |

example 15 |
<code_start> |
OverflowBox( |
minWidth: 0, |
minHeight: 0, |
maxWidth: double.infinity, |
maxHeight: double.infinity, |
child: container(color: red, width: 4000, height: 50), |
) |
<code_end> |
the screen forces the OverflowBox to be exactly the same |
size as the screen, and OverflowBox lets its child container |
be any size it wants. |
OverflowBox is similar to UnconstrainedBox; |
the difference is that it won’t display any warnings |
if the child doesn’t fit the space. |
in this case, the container has 4000 pixels of width, |
and is too big to fit in the OverflowBox, |
but the OverflowBox simply shows as much as it can, |
with no warnings given. |

example 16 |
<code_start> |
UnconstrainedBox( |
child: container(color: colors.red, width: double.infinity, height: 100), |
) |
<code_end> |
this won’t render anything, and you’ll see an error in the console. |
the UnconstrainedBox lets its child be any size it wants, |
however its child is a container with infinite size. |
flutter can’t render infinite sizes, so it throws an error with |
the following message: BoxConstraints forces an infinite width. |

example 17 |
<code_start> |
UnconstrainedBox( |
child: LimitedBox( |
maxWidth: 100, |
child: container( |
color: colors.red, |
width: double.infinity, |
height: 100, |
), |
), |
) |
<code_end> |
here you won’t get an error anymore, |
because when the LimitedBox is given an |
infinite size by the UnconstrainedBox; |
it passes a maximum width of 100 down to its child. |
if you swap the UnconstrainedBox for a center widget, |
the LimitedBox won’t apply its limit anymore |
(since its limit is only applied when it gets infinite |
constraints), and the width of the container |
is allowed to grow past 100. |
this explains the difference between a LimitedBox |
and a ConstrainedBox. |
