Can someone explain size hint, size policy, size constraint in QT?

问题

Can anyone give a clear explain of these 3 concept? What's the difference and how to use them?

回答1:

size hint is the preferred size of the widget, layouts will try to keep it as close to this as possible.

size policy describes how the size may change when the preferred size cannot be used (can it stretch or shrink) see the QSizePolicy::Policy enum for a description of each.

size constraint are the maximumSize and minimumSize the widget can be.
