# Stack
The [`Stack`][stack] widget lays a set of [`WidgetList`][children] as either a set
of columns or rows. It is a convenient way to construct a 1D
[`Grid`](./grid.md). It can be constructed using either:
- [`Stack::rows`][rows]/[`WidgetList::into_rows()`][into_rows]
- [`Stack::columns`][columns]/[`WidgetList::into_columns()`][into_columns]
The stack widget places spacing between each element called a [gutter][gutter].
