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


```kotlin
val parentData: Any?
```


Data provided by the `ParentDataModifier`.



## Functions

```kotlin
fun minIntrinsicWidth(height: Int): Int
```


Calculates the minimum width that the layout can be such that the content of the layout will
be painted correctly. There should be no side-effects from a call to `minIntrinsicWidth`.


```kotlin
fun maxIntrinsicWidth(height: Int): Int
```


Calculates the smallest width beyond which increasing the width never decreases the height.
There should be no side-effects from a call to `maxIntrinsicWidth`.


```kotlin
fun minIntrinsicHeight(width: Int): Int
```


Calculates the minimum height that the layout can be such that the content of the layout will
be painted correctly. There should be no side-effects from a call to `minIntrinsicHeight`.


```kotlin
fun maxIntrinsicHeight(width: Int): Int
```


Calculates the smallest height beyond which increasing the height never decreases the width.
There should be no side-effects from a call to `maxIntrinsicHeight`.
