      position: _offsetAnimation,
      child: const Padding(
        padding: EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
        child: FlutterLogo(size: 150.0),
      ),
    )

2- The FadeTransition Widget fades a widget in and out by animating its opacity.


      FadeTransition(
        opacity: _animation,
        child: const Padding(padding: EdgeInsets.all(8), 
                             child: FlutterLogo(),),

3- The AnimatedCrossFade Widget cross-fades between two given children and animates itself between their sizes.


        AnimatedCrossFade(
              crossFadeState: _isFirst
                  ? CrossFadeState.showFirst
                  : CrossFadeState.showSecond,
              duration: const Duration(seconds: 1),
              firstCurve: Curves.easeInCubic,
              secondCurve: Curves.easeInCirc,
              firstChild: const FlutterLogo(
                  style: FlutterLogoStyle.horizontal, size: 100.0),
              secondChild: const FlutterLogo(
                  style: FlutterLogoStyle.stacked, size: 100.0),

4- The CupertinoContextMenu Widget is a full-screen modal route that opens when the child is long-pressed.

              color: Colors.red,
            ),
            actions: <Widget>[
              CupertinoContextMenuAction(
                child: const Text('Action one'),
                onPressed: () {
                  Navigator.pop(context);
                },
              ),
              CupertinoContextMenuAction(
                child: const Text('Action two'),
                onPressed: () {
                  Navigator.pop(context);
                },
