MigLayout width - cell or Component?

I am not clear from the documentation - when I indicate a cell width 

panel.add(cc,"width 100:200:300");

am I requesting a min:pref:max width for the cell or for the component in the cell?

From my experience it is best to enforce this kind of constraints at the layout level, which achieves a more consistent behaviour.

For example, 

new MigLayout("insets 0", "[:50:][grow,fill,:50:250]20[:50:][grow,fill,:50:]", "[c]")`

where the second parameter sets the layout properties for columns (four columns in this case with specific preferred and maximum widths). Then components are added to the container with this layout manager by simply calling 

panel.add(cc);

with or without the "wrap" option (which indicates the need to create a new row).
