1. Flutter Alignment

Alignment is used to define the way to align the position of a child widget in its parent.
  • Flutter AlignmentGeometry
  • Flutter AlignmentDirectional
Alignment Constructor
const Alignment(
   double x,
   double y
)
Flutter places a coordinate system in the center of the parent widget, and you can create an Alignment object from the two parameters x and y to describe how to align the position of the child widget.
The Alignment class defines a few constants corresponding to some common positions:
Constant
Define
bottomCenter
Alignment(0.0, 1.0)
bottomLeft
Alignment(-1.0, 1.0)
bottomRight
Alignment(1.0, 1.0)
center
Alignment(0.0, 0.0)
centerLeft
Alignment(-1.0, 0.0)
centerRight
Alignment(1.0, 0.0)
topCenter
Alignment(0.0, -1.0)
topLeft
Alignment(-1.0, -1.0)
topRight
Alignment(1.0, -1.0)
