/// An immutable style in which paint text.
///
/// ## Sample code
///
/// ### Bold
///
/// Here, a single line of text in a [Text] widget is given a specific style
/// override. The style is mixed with the ambient [DefaultTextStyle] by the
/// [Text] widget.
///
/// ```dart
/// new Text(
///   'No, we need bold strokes. We need this plan.',
///   style: new TextStyle(fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
/// )
/// ```
///
/// ### Italics
///
/// As in the previous example, the [Text] widget is given a specific style
/// override which is implicitly mixed with the ambient [DefaultTextStyle].
///
/// ```dart
/// new Text(
///   'Welcome to the present, we\'re running a real nation.',
///   style: new TextStyle(fontStyle: FontStyle.italic),
/// )
/// ```
///
/// ### Opacity
///
/// Each line here is progressively more opaque. The base color is
/// [material.Colors.black], and [Color.withOpacity] is used to create a
/// derivative color with the desired opacity. The root [TextSpan] for this
/// [RichText] widget is explicitly given the ambient [DefaultTextStyle], since
/// [RichText] does not do that automatically. The inner [TextStyle] objects are
/// implicitly mixed with the parent [TextSpan]'s [TextSpan.style].
///
/// ```dart
/// new RichText(
///   text: new TextSpan(
///     style: DefaultTextStyle.of(context).style,
///     children: <TextSpan>[
///       new TextSpan(
///         text: 'You don\'t have the votes.\n',
///         style: new TextStyle(color: Colors.black.withOpacity(0.6)),
///       ),
///       new TextSpan(
///         text: 'You don\'t have the votes!\n',
///         style: new TextStyle(color: Colors.black.withOpacity(0.8)),
///       ),
///       new TextSpan(
///         text: 'You\'re gonna need congressional approval and you don\'t have the votes!\n',
///         style: new TextStyle(color: Colors.black.withOpacity(1.0)),
///       ),
///     ],
///   ),
/// )
/// ```
///
/// ### Size
///
/// In this example, the ambient [DefaultTextStyle] is explicitly manipulated to
/// obtain a [TextStyle] that doubles the default font size.
///
/// ```dart
/// new Text(
///   'These are wise words, enterprising men quote \'em.',
///   style: DefaultTextStyle.of(context).style.apply(fontSizeFactor: 2.0),
/// )
/// ```
///
/// ### Line height
///
/// The [height] property can be used to change the line height. Here, the line
/// height is set to 100 logical pixels, so that the text is very spaced out.
///
/// ```dart
/// new Text(
///   'Don\'t act surprised, you guys, cuz I wrote \'em!',
///   style: new TextStyle(height: 100.0),
/// )
/// ```
///
/// ### Wavy red underline with black text
///
/// Styles can be combined. In this example, the misspelt word is drawn in black
/// text and underlined with a wavy red line to indicate a spelling error. (The
/// remainder is styled according to the Flutter default text styles, not the
/// ambient [DefaultTextStyle], since no explicit style is given and [RichText]
/// does not automatically use the ambient [DefaultTextStyle].)
///
/// ```dart
/// new RichText(
///   text: new TextSpan(
///     text: 'Don\'t tax the South ',
///     children: <TextSpan>[
///       new TextSpan(
///         text: 'cuz',
///         style: new TextStyle(
///           color: Colors.black,
///           decoration: TextDecoration.underline,
///           decorationColor: Colors.red,
///           decorationStyle: TextDecorationStyle.wavy,
///         ),
///       ),
///       new TextSpan(
///         text: ' we got it made in the shade',
///       ),
///     ],
///   ),
/// )
/// ```
///
/// ### Custom Fonts
///
/// Custom fonts can be declared in the `pubspec.yaml` file as shown below:
///
///```yaml
/// flutter:
///   fonts:
///     - family: Raleway
///       fonts:
///         - asset: fonts/Raleway-Regular.ttf
///         - asset: fonts/Raleway-Medium.ttf
///           weight: 500
///         - asset: assets/fonts/Raleway-SemiBold.ttf
///           weight: 600
///      - family: Schyler
///        fonts:
///          - asset: fonts/Schyler-Regular.ttf
///          - asset: fonts/Schyler-Italic.ttf
///            style: italic
///```
///
/// The `family` property determines the name of the font, which you can use in
/// the [fontFamily] argument. The `asset` property is a path to the font file,
/// relative to the `pubspec.yaml` file. The `weight` property specifies the
/// weight of the glyph outlines in the file as an integer multiple of 100
/// between 100 and 900. This corresponds to the [FontWeight] class and can be
/// used in the [fontWeight] argument. The `style` property specifies whether the
/// outlines in the file are `italic` or `normal`. These values correspond to
/// the [FontStyle] class and can be used in the [fontStyle] argument.
///
/// To select a custom font, create [TextStyle] using the [fontFamily]
/// argument as shown in the example below:
///
/// ```dart
/// const TextStyle(fontFamily: 'Raleway')
/// ```
///
/// To use a font family defined in a package, the [package] argument must be
/// provided. For instance, suppose the font declaration above is in the
/// `pubspec.yaml` of a package named `my_package` which the app depends on.
/// Then creating the TextStyle is done as follows:
///
/// ```dart
/// const TextStyle(fontFamily: 'Raleway', package: 'my_package')
/// ```
///
/// If the package internally uses the font it defines, it should still specify
/// the `package` argument when creating the text style as in the example above.
///
/// A package can also provide font files without declaring a font in its
/// `pubspec.yaml`. These files should then be in the `lib/` folder of the
/// package. The font files will not automatically be bundled in the app, instead
/// the app can use these selectively when declaring a font. Suppose a package
/// named `my_package` has:
///
/// ```
/// lib/fonts/Raleway-Medium.ttf
/// ```
///
/// Then the app can declare a font like in the example below:
///
///```yaml
/// flutter:
///   fonts:
///     - family: Raleway
///       fonts:
///         - asset: assets/fonts/Raleway-Regular.ttf
///         - asset: packages/my_package/fonts/Raleway-Medium.ttf
///           weight: 500
///```
///
/// The `lib/` is implied, so it should not be included in the asset path.
///
/// In this case, since the app locally defines the font, the TextStyle is
/// created without the `package` argument:
///
///```dart
/// const TextStyle(fontFamily: 'Raleway')
/// ```
///
/// See also:
///
///  * [Text], the widget for showing text in a single style.
///  * [DefaultTextStyle], the widget that specifies the default text styles for
///    [Text] widgets, configured using a [TextStyle].
///  * [RichText], the widget for showing a paragraph of mix-style text.
///  * [TextSpan], the class that wraps a [TextStyle] for the purposes of
///    passing it to a [RichText].
