```kotlin
@LayoutScopeMarker
@ExperimentalLayoutApi
interface ContextualFlowColumnScope : ColumnScope
```


Provides a scope for items within a `ContextualFlowColumn`.


## Properties

<div class='sourceset sourceset-common'>Common</div>


```kotlin
val lineIndex: Int
```


Identifies the row or column index where the UI component(s) are to be placed, provided they
do not exceed the specified `maxWidth` and `maxHeightInLine` for that row or column.

Should the component(s) surpass these dimensions, their placement may shift to the subsequent
row/column or they may be omitted from display, contingent upon the defined constraints.



<div class='sourceset sourceset-common'>Common</div>


```kotlin
val indexInLine: Int
```


Marks the index within the current row/column where the next component is to be inserted,
assuming it conforms to the row's or column's `maxWidth` and `maxHeightInLine` limitations.

In scenarios where multiple UI components are returned in one index call, this parameter is
relevant solely to the first returned UI component, presuming it complies with the row's or
column's defined constraints.



<div class='sourceset sourceset-common'>Common</div>


```kotlin
val maxWidth: Dp
```


Sets the maximum width (cross-axis dimension) that the upcoming UI component can occupy,
based on its `lineIndex` and `indexInLine`. Exceeding this width might result in the
component not being displayed, depending on the `ContextualFlowColumnOverflow.Visible`
overflow configuration.



<div class='sourceset sourceset-common'>Common</div>


```kotlin
val maxHeightInLine: Dp
```


Establishes the maximum height (main-axis dimension) permissible for the next UI component,
aligned with its `lineIndex` and `indexInLine`. Should the component's height exceed this
limit, it may be shifted to the subsequent column in `ContextualFlowColumn`, subject to the
predefined constraints.



## Functions

```kotlin
@ExperimentalLayoutApi
    fun Modifier.fillMaxColumnWidth(
        @FloatRange(from = 0.0, to = 1.0) fraction: Float = 1f
    ): Modifier
```


Have the item fill (possibly only partially) the max width of the widest item in the column
it was placed in, within the `FlowColumn`.

#### Parameters

| | |
| --- | --- |
| fraction | The fraction of the max width of the widest item between `0` and `1`, inclusive. |
