layout flex defines the factor remaining space is distributed among flex 
widgets. If one widget has a flex value of 1 and another widget has a 
flex value of 2 the second widget will receive twice as much additional 
space as the first one. The same is true for shrinking with the 
exception that the values are inverted 2 -> 1/2.

This sets the general ability of the widget to grow beyond its preferred 
size. However the widget will never be larger than its max size.
>   allowShrinkX/Y
>   
Allows the widget to shrink beelow its preferred size. Analogous to 
allowGrowX/Y
>   allowStretchX/Y
>   
This is a property group for allowGrow and allowShrink. 
allowStretchX(true) will set allowGrowX(true) and allowShrinkX(true)
