A widget that uses the stack layout algorithm for its children.
This class is useful if you want to overlap several children in a simple way, for example having some text and an image, overlaid with a gradient and a button attached to the bottom.
Each child of a Stack widget is either positioned or non-positioned. Positioned children are those wrapped in a Positioned widget that has at least one non-null property. The stack sizes itself to contain all the non-positioned children, which are positioned according to alignment (which defaults to the top-left corner). The positioned children are then placed relative to the stack according to their top, right, bottom, and left properties.
For more details about the stack layout algorithm, see RenderStack.
If you want to lay a number of children out in a particular pattern, or if you want to make a custom layout manager, you probably want to use CustomMultiChildLayout instead. In particular, when using a Stack you can't position children relative to their size or the stack's own size.
See also:
- Align, which sizes itself based on its child's size and positions the child according to a FractionalOffset value.
- CustomSingleChildLayout, which uses a delegate to control the layout of a single child.
- CustomMultiChildLayout, which uses a delegate to position multiple children.
- Flow, which provides paint-time control of its children using transform matrices.
