I feel a little dumb for asking this, but is there a way to allow a child Composable to be larger than a parent Composable?

`wrapContentSize(unbounded = true)` maybe?

Making a child larger than the parent is exactly what scrolling containers and modifiers do, so yes :slightly_smiling_face:

A parent (`Layout` composable or `Modifier.layout`) can measure children however it likes so long as its own reported size matches its requested constraints

To be clear, I meant for a child to draw outside the bounds of it’s parents, and actually appear larger

The answer is still yes, layouts in compose don't clip by default, though a few material containers do

So if I have an image thats 500dpX500dp, inside of a Box that’s 100dp X 100dp, it won’t clip, and I could still center it?

Assuming none of the other containers between that and the root clip it, yes
