<code_start> |
const FittedBox( |
child: Text('Some example text.'), |
) |
<code_end> |
the screen forces the FittedBox to be exactly the same |
size as the screen. the text has some natural width |
(also called its intrinsic width) that depends on the |
amount of text, its font size, and so on. |
the FittedBox lets the text be any size it wants, |
but after the text tells its size to the FittedBox, |
the FittedBox scales the text until it fills all of |
the available width. |

example 19 |
<code_start> |
const center( |
child: FittedBox( |
child: Text('Some example text.'), |
), |
) |
<code_end> |
but what happens if you put the FittedBox inside of a |
center widget? the center lets the FittedBox |
be any size it wants, up to the screen size. |
the FittedBox then sizes itself to the text, |
and lets the text be any size it wants. |
since both FittedBox and the text have the same size, |
no scaling happens. |

example 20 |
<code_start> |
const center( |
child: FittedBox( |
child: text( |
'this is some very very very large text that is too big to fit a regular screen in a single line.'), |
), |
) |
<code_end> |
however, what happens if FittedBox is inside of a center |
widget, but the text is too large to fit the screen? |
FittedBox tries to size itself to the text, |
but it can’t be bigger than the screen. |
it then assumes the screen size, |
and resizes text so that it fits the screen, too. |

example 21 |
<code_start> |
const center( |
child: text( |
'this is some very very very large text that is too big to fit a regular screen in a single line.'), |
) |
<code_end> |
if, however, you remove the FittedBox, the text |
gets its maximum width from the screen, |
and breaks the line so that it fits the screen. |

example 22 |
<code_start> |
FittedBox( |
child: container( |
height: 20, |
width: double.infinity, |
color: colors.red, |
), |
) |
<code_end> |
FittedBox can only scale a widget that is bounded |
(has non-infinite width and height). otherwise, |
it won’t render anything, |
and you’ll see an error in the console. |

example 23 |
<code_start> |
row( |
children: [ |
container(color: red, child: const Text('Hello!', style: big)), |
container(color: green, child: const Text('Goodbye!', style: big)), |
], |
) |
<code_end> |
the screen forces the row to be exactly the same size |
as the screen. |
just like an UnconstrainedBox, the row won’t |
impose any constraints onto its children, |
and instead lets them be any size they want. |
the row then puts them side-by-side, |
and any extra space remains empty. |
