/// always be paired with the same background color, for consistency.
///
/// If the avatar is to have an image, the image should be specified in the

/// ```dart
/// new CircleAvatar(

/// ```
///
/// The image will be cropped to have a circle shape.
///
/// If the avatar is to just have the user's initials, they are typically

/// ```dart
/// new CircleAvatar(
///   backgroundColor: Colors.brown[800],
///   child: new Text('AH'),
/// );
