In JavaFX the javafx.scene.control package provides various classes for nodes specially designed for UI applications by instantiating these classes you can create UI elements such as button, Label, etc..You can resize the created elements using the setPrefWidth() or, setPrefHeight() or, setprefSize() methods accordingly.To prevent the resize of the UI controls you need to set the minimum-maximum and preferred width/height to same value as −button.setMinWidth(80.0); button.setPrefWidth(80.0); button.setMaxWidth(80.0);ExampleThe following JavaFX example contains two buttons and a slider. You can resize the button (Hello) by moving the slider. Once you click the PreventResizing button, then you cannot resize the “Hello” button further.import javafx.application.Application; ...

In the TilePane layout, the nodes are arranged as a grid of uniformly sized tiles. You can create a tile pane in your application by instantiating the javafx.scene.layout.TilePane class.Orientation refers to the arrangement of the nodes in the pane in general, they are arranged wither horizontally or vertically.By default the orientation of the tile pane is horizontal. You can change this using the setOrientation() method. This method accepts two values −Orientation.VERTICALOrientation.HORIZONTALExampleimport javafx.application.Application; import javafx.collections.ObservableList; import javafx.geometry.Orientation; import javafx.geometry.Pos; import javafx.scene.Scene; import javafx.scene.control.Button; import javafx.scene.layout.TilePane; import javafx.stage.Stage; public class TilePaneOrientation extends Application {    @Override    public void start(Stage stage) { ...

You can create a line chart by instantiating the javafx.scene.chart.LineChart class. Following is an example to create multiple line charts in a single JavaFX window. Here, we are plotting the average temperatures of three different cities in a year.In this example we have defined a method which accepts the data as double array, creates and returns a Linecart. In the start method we are start() method we have invoked this method with three different data sets and displayed the resultant charts using a FlowPane.Exampleimport javafx.application.Application; import javafx.scene.Scene; import javafx.stage.Stage; import javafx.scene.chart.LineChart; import javafx.scene.chart.NumberAxis; import javafx.scene.chart.XYChart; import javafx.scene.layout.FlowPane; public class MultipleLineCharts ...

To create rich text contents in our applications JavaFX provides a special layout called text flow represented by the javafx.scene.layout.TextFlow class. Using this you can layout multiple text nodes in a single text flow.Since they are separate nodes, you can set different fonts to them. If you try to add nodes other than text to this layout, they will be treated as embedded objects and are simply inserted between the text.Wrapping the textUnlike Label and the Text nodes, TextFLow doesn’t provide any method to wrap the text. But it does have a property named prefWidth specifying the desired width of ... Read More

JavaFX sliderJavaFX provides a class known as Slider, this represents a slider component that displays a continuous range of values. This contains a track on which the number values are displayed. Along the track, there is a thumb pointing to the numbers. You can provide the maximum, minimum, and initial values of the slider.In JavaFX you can create a slider by instantiating the javafx.scene.control.Slider class.Menu ItemA menu is a list of options or commands presented to the user. In JavaFX a menu is represented by the javafx.scene.control.Menu class, you can create a menu by instantiating this class.A menu item is ... Read More

The orientation property specifies the orientation of the current slider i.e. ... Read More

Once you create all the required nodes for your application you can arrange them using a layout. Where a layout is a process of calculating the position of objects in the given space. JavaFX provides various layouts in the javafx.scene.layout package.Stack PaneIn this layout, the nodes are arranged as a stack from bottom to top (one upon another). You can create a stack pane in your application by instantiating the javafx.scene.layout.StackPane class.You can set the alignment of the nodes in this pane using the setAlignment() method.In the same you can set a margin for a node within the pane, using ...
