description: "Allow the content to measure at its desired height without regard for the incoming measurement
[minimum height constraint][Constraints.minHeight], and, if [unbounded] is true, also without
regard for the incoming measurement [maximum height constraint][Constraints.maxHeight]. If the
content's measured size is smaller than the minimum height constraint, [align] it within that
minimum height space. If the content's measured size is larger than the maximum height constraint
(only possible when [unbounded] is true), [align] over the maximum height space."

```kotlin
fun Modifier.wrapContentHeight(
    align: Alignment.Vertical = Alignment.CenterVertically,
    unbounded: Boolean = false,
) =
    this.then(
        if (align == Alignment.CenterVertically && !unbounded) {
            WrapContentHeightCenter
        } else if (align == Alignment.Top && !unbounded) {
            WrapContentHeightTop
        } else {
            WrapContentElement.height(align, unbounded)
        }
    )
```


Allow the content to measure at its desired height without regard for the incoming measurement
`minimum height constraint`, and, if `unbounded` is true, also without
regard for the incoming measurement `maximum height constraint`. If the
content's measured size is smaller than the minimum height constraint, `align` it within that
minimum height space. If the content's measured size is larger than the maximum height constraint
(only possible when `unbounded` is true), `align` over the maximum height space.



## Code Examples
### SimpleWrapContentVerticallyAlignedModifier
```kotlin
@Composable
fun SimpleWrapContentVerticallyAlignedModifier() {
    // Here the result will be a 50.dp x 20.dp blue box centered vertically in a 50.dp x 50.dp
    // space. Because of the size modifier, if wrapContentHeight did not exist,
    // the blue rectangle would actually be 50.dp x 50.dp to satisfy the size set by the modifier.
    // However, because we provide wrapContentHeight, the blue rectangle is specified to be wrap
    // content in height - if the desired height is smaller than 50.dp, it will be centered
    // vertically in this space. Therefore the 50.dp x 20.dp is centered vertically in the space.
    Box(
        Modifier.size(50.dp)
            .wrapContentHeight(Alignment.CenterVertically)
            .height(20.dp)
            .background(Color.Blue)
    )
}
```
