Display and data widgets
Display and data widgets are the surfaces you reach for after state flow and layout are already clear.
Their job is usually to present information, status, metrics, or structured records. Some of them are purely visual. Others are semantically rich and matter for testing and accessibility because they expose meaning, values, or structure.

Practical cross-reference
If the next question is really about layered interface or navigation rather than display, continue to Overlays and navigation. If the next question is about media or host-backed surfaces, continue to Media. For the overall map, return to the Widget catalog.
