Overview

A horizontal or vertical separator line. The visual appearance of this separator can be controlled via CSS. A horizontal separator occupies the full horizontal space allocated to it (less padding), and a vertical separator occupies the full vertical space allocated to it (less padding). The hpos and vpos variables determine how the separator is positioned in the other dimension, for example, how a horizontal separator is positioned vertically within its allocated space.

The separator is horizontal by default.

The style-class for this control is "separator".

The separator provides two pseudo-classes "horizontal" and "vertical" which are mutually exclusive. The "horizontal" pseudo-class applies if the separator is horizontal, and the "vertical" pseudo-class applies if the separator is vertical.

The separator provides two style properties, "hpos" and "vpos". The values for these properties are the enumeration constants of the HPos and VPos classes, respectively.

Below is an example of using a separator in a VBox.

the code:

import javafx.geometry.*;
import javafx.scene.control.*;
import javafx.scene.layout.*;

VBox {
    nodeHPos: HPos.CENTER
    content: [
        Label { text: "Above" },
        Separator { },
        Label { text: "Below" }
    ]
}

produces:

Inherited Variables

javafx.scene.control.Control

access	name	type	Can Read	Can Init	Can Write	Default Value	description
public	skin	Skin					Skin responsible for rendering this `Control`. Skin responsible for rendering this `Control`. From the perspective of the `Control`, the `Skin` is a black box. It listens and responds to changes in state in a `Control`. There is a one-to-one relationship between a `Control` and its `Skin`. Every `Skin` maintains a back reference to the `Control`. A skin may be null. Profile: common

javafx.scene.Parent

access	name	type	Can Read	Can Init	Can Write	Default Value	description
protected	children	Node[]	subclass	subclass	subclass	empty	A sequence of child `Node`s. A sequence of child `Node`s. A CustomNode subclass may override or bind to this sequence as needed. See the class documentation for Node for scene graph structure restrictions on setting a Parent's children sequence. If these restrictions are violated by a change to the children sequence, the change is ignored and the previous value of the child sequence is restored. Throws: `AssignToBoundException` if the same node appears in two different bound sequences. empty Profile: common
public-read protected	needsLayout	Boolean		subclass	subclass		Indicates that this Node and its subnodes requires a layout pass on the next pulse.

javafx.scene.Node

access	name	type	Can Init	Can Write	Default Value	description
public	blocksMouse	Boolean			false	If `true`, consumes mouse events in this `Node` and does not send them to other nodes further up the scene graph. If `true`, consumes mouse events in this `Node` and does not send them to other nodes further up the scene graph. If a Node wants to block mouse events from going to nodes which are visually obscured by this `Node`, then set blocksMouse to true. false Profile: common
public-read	boundsInLocal	Bounds				The rectangular bounds of this `Node` in the node's untransformed local coordinate space. The rectangular bounds of this `Node` in the node's untransformed local coordinate space. For nodes that extend javafx.scene.shape.Shape, the local bounds will also include space required for a non-zero stroke that may fall outside the shape's geometry that is defined by position and size attributes. The local bounds will also include any clipping set with clip as well as effects set with effect. Note that this method does not take the node's visibility into account; the test is based on the geometry of this `Node` only. This variable will always be a non-null value. Note that boundsInLocal is automatically recomputed whenever the geometry of a node changes. For this reason, it is an error to bind any of these values in a node to an expression that depends upon this variable. For example, the "x" or "y" variables of a shape should never be bound to boundsInLocal for the purpose of positioning the node. Profile: common
public-read	boundsInParent	Bounds				The rectangular bounds of this `Node` which include its transforms. The rectangular bounds of this `Node` which include its transforms. `boundsInParent` is calculated by taking its local bounds (defined by boundsInLocal) and applying the transform created by setting the following additional variables: transforms[] sequence scaleX, scaleY rotate layoutX, layoutY translateX, translateY The resulting bounds will be conceptually in the coordinate space of the `Node`'s parent, however the node need not have a parent to calculate these bounds. Note that this method does not take the node's visibility into account; the test is based on the geometry of this `Node` only. This variable will always be a non-null value. Note that boundsInParent is automatically recomputed whenever the geometry of a node changes, or when any of the following change: the transforms sequence, the translateX, translateY, layoutX, layoutY, scaleX, scaleY, or rotate variable. For this reason, it is an error to bind any of these values in a node to an expression that depends upon this variable. For example, the "x" or "y" variables of a shape, or translateX, translateY should never be bound to boundsInParent for the purpose of positioning the node. Profile: common
public	cache	Boolean			false	A performance hint to the system to indicate that this `Node` should be cached as a bitmap. A performance hint to the system to indicate that this `Node` should be cached as a bitmap. Rendering a bitmap representation of a node will be faster than rendering primitives in many cases, especially in the case of primitives with effects applied (such as a blur). However, it also increases memory usage. This hint indicates whether that trade-off (increased memory usage for increased performance) is worthwhile. Also note that on some platforms such as GPU accelerated platforms there is little benefit to caching Nodes as bitmaps when blurs and other effects are used since they are very fast to render on the GPU. The `cacheHint` variable provides additional options for enabling more aggressive bitmap caching. false See Also: Node.cacheHint Profile: common
public	cacheHint	CacheHint			CacheHint.DEFAULT	Additional hint for controlling bitmap caching. Additional hint for controlling bitmap caching. Under certain circumstances, such as animating nodes that are very expensive to render, it is desirable to be able to perform transformations on the node without having to regenerate the cached bitmap. An option in such cases is to perform the transforms on the cached bitmap itself. This technique can provide a dramatic improvement to animation performance, though may also result in a reduction in visual quality. The `cacheHint` variable provides a hint to the system about how and when that trade-off (visual quality for animation performance) is acceptable. It is possible to enable the cacheHint only at times when your node is animating. In this way, expensive nodes can appear on screen with full visual quality, yet still animate smoothly. Example: `expensiveNode.cache = true; expensiveNode.cacheHint = CacheHint.QUALITY; ... // Do an animation expensiveNode.cacheHint = CacheHint.SPEED; Timeline { keyFrames: [ KeyFrame { time: 2s values: [ expensiveNode.scaleX => 2.0, expensiveNode.scaleY => 2.0, expensiveNode.rotate=> 360, expensiveNode.cacheHint => CacheHint.QUALITY ] } ] }.play();` Note that `cacheHint` is only a hint to the system. Depending on the details of the node or the transform, this hint may be ignored. If `Node.cache` is false, cacheHint is ignored. CacheHint.DEFAULT See Also: Node.cache Profile: common
public	clip	Node			null	Specifies a `Node` to use to define the the clipping shape for this Node. Specifies a `Node` to use to define the the clipping shape for this Node. This clipping Node is not a child of this `Node` in the scene graph sense. Rather, it is used to define the clip for this `Node`. For example, you can use an javafx.scene.image.ImageView Node as a mask to represent the Clip. Or you could use one of the geometric shape Nodes such as javafx.scene.shape.Rectangle or javafx.scene.shape.Circle. Or you could use a javafx.scene.text.Text node to represent the Clip. See the class documentation for Node for scene graph structure restrictions on setting the clip. If these restrictions are violated by a change to the clip variable, the change is ignored and the previous value of the clip variable is restored. Note: this is a conditional feature. See ConditionalFeature.SHAPE_CLIP for more information. null Profile: common conditional shape_clip
public	cursor	Cursor			null	Defines the mouse cursor for this `Node` and subnodes. Defines the mouse cursor for this `Node` and subnodes. If null, then the cursor of the first parent node with a non-null cursor will be used. If no Node in the scene graph defines a cursor, then the cursor of the `Scene` will be used. null Profile: common
public	disable	Boolean			false	Sets the individual disabled state of this `Node`. Sets the individual disabled state of this `Node`. Setting `disable` to true will cause this `Node` and any subnodes to become disabled. This variable should be used only to set the disabled state of a `Node`. For querying the disabled state of a `Node`, the disabled variable should instead be used, since it is possible that a `Node` was disabled as a result of an ancestor being disabled even if the individual `disable` state on this `Node` is `false`. false Profile: common
public-read	disabled	Boolean			false	Indicates whether or not this `Node` is disabled. Indicates whether or not this `Node` is disabled. A `Node` will become disabled if disable is set to `true` on either itself or one of its ancestors in the scene graph. A disabled `Node` should render itself differently to indicate its disabled state to the user. Such disabled rendering is dependent on the implementation of the `Node`. The shape classes contained in `javafx.scene.shape` do not implement such rendering by default, therefore applications using shapes for handling input must implement appropriate disabled rendering themselves. The user-interface controls defined in `javafx.scene.control` will implement disabled-sensitive rendering, however. A disabled `Node` does not receive mouse or key events. false Profile: common
public	effect	Effect			null	Specifies an effect to apply to this `Node`. Specifies an effect to apply to this `Node`. Note: this is a conditional feature. See ConditionalFeature.EFFECT for more information. null Profile: common conditional effect
public-read protected	focused	Boolean	subclass	subclass	false	Indicates whether this `Node` currently has the input focus. Indicates whether this `Node` currently has the input focus. To have the input focus, a node must be the `Scene`'s focus owner, and the scene must be in a `Stage` that is visible and active. See `requestFocus()` for more information. false Profile: common
public	focusTraversable	Boolean			false	Specifies whether this `Node` should be a part of focus traversal cycle. Specifies whether this `Node` should be a part of focus traversal cycle. When this property is `true` focus can be moved to this `Node` and from this `Node` using regular focus traversal keys. On a desktop such keys are usually `TAB` for moving focus forward and `SHIFT+TAB` for moving focus backward. When a `Scene` is created, the system gives focus to a `Node` whose `focusTraversable` variable is true and that is eligible to receive the focus, unless the focus had been set explicitly via a call to `requestFocus()`. false Profile: common
public-read protected	hover	Boolean	subclass	subclass	false	Whether or not this `Node` is being hovered over. Whether or not this `Node` is being hovered over. Typically this is due to the mouse being over the node, though it could be due to a pen hovering on a graphics tablet or other form of input. NOTE: the current implementation of hover relies on mouse enter and exit events to determine whether this Node is in the hover state; this means that this feature is currently supported only on systems that have a mouse. Future implementations may provide alternative means of supporting hover. false Profile: common
public	id	String			empty string	The id of this `Node`. The id of this `Node`. This simple string identifier is useful for finding a specific Node within the scene graph. While the id of a Node should be unique within the scene graph, this uniqueness is not enforced. This is analogous to the "id" attribute on an HTML element. empty string Profile: common
public-read protected	layoutBounds	Bounds	subclass	subclass		The rectangular bounds that should be used for layout calculations on this `Node`. The rectangular bounds that should be used for layout calculations on this `Node`. `layoutBounds` may differ from the visual bounds of the node and is computed differently depending on the node type. See javafx.scene.shape.Shape, javafx.scene.text.Text, Group, and javafx.scene.layout.Resizable for detailed descriptions on how `layoutBounds` are computed. Note that the layoutX, layoutY, translateX, and translateY variables are not included in the layoutBounds. This is important because layout code must first determine the current size and location of the `Node` (using layoutBounds) and then set `layoutX` and `layoutY` to adjust the translation of the `Node` so that it will have the desired layout position. Because the computation of layoutBounds is often tied to a node's geometric variables, it is an error to bind any such variables to an expression that depends upon `layoutBounds`. For example, the "x" or "y" variables of a shape should never be bound to layoutBounds for the purpose of positioning the node. Profile: common
public	layoutInfo	LayoutInfoBase				Hook for node-specific layout information used by layout containers. Hook for node-specific layout information used by layout containers. If the node is not a child of a container which supports layout info, this variable will be ignored. Note that layoutInfo object literals may be shared across nodes, which means altering the vars on a `LayoutInfo` will affect all such nodes.
public	layoutX	Number			0	Defines the x coordinate of the translation that is added to this `Node`'s transform for the purpose of layout. Defines the x coordinate of the translation that is added to this `Node`'s transform for the purpose of layout. The value should be computed as the offset required to adjust the position of the node from its current `layoutBounds.minX` position (which might not be 0) to the desired location. For example, if `textnode` should be positioned at `finalX`: `textnode.layoutX = finalX - textnode.layoutBounds.minX;` Failure to subtract `layoutBounds.minX` may result in misplacement of the node. The node's final translation will be computed as `layoutX` + translateX, where `layoutX` establishes the node's stable position and `translateX` optionally makes dynamic adjustments to that position. If the node is managed and has a javafx.scene.layout.Container as its parent, then the container will set `layoutX` according to its own layout policy. If the node is unmanaged or parented by a Group or `Scene`, then the application may set `layoutX` directly to position it. 0 Profile: common
public	layoutY	Number			0	Defines the y coordinate of the translation that is added to this `Node`'s transform for the purpose of layout. Defines the y coordinate of the translation that is added to this `Node`'s transform for the purpose of layout. The value should be computed as the offset required to adjust the position of the node from its current `layoutBounds.minY` position (which might not be 0) to the desired location. For example, if `textnode` should be positioned at `finalY`: `textnode.layoutY = finalY - textnode.layoutBounds.minY;` Failure to subtract `layoutBounds.minY` may result in misplacement of the node. The node's final translation will be computed as `layoutY` + translateY, where `layoutY` establishes the node's stable position and `translateY` optionally makes dynamic adjustments to that position. If the node is managed and has a javafx.scene.layout.Container as its parent, then the container will set `layoutY` according to its own layout policy. If the node is unmanaged or parented by a Group or `Scene`, then the application may set `layoutY` directly to position it. 0 Profile: common
public	managed	Boolean			true	Defines whether or not this node's layout will be managed by it's parent. Defines whether or not this node's layout will be managed by it's parent. Each parent class follows a strategy for laying out managed children during the scene's layout pass: Group: sets the size of any `Resizable` children to their preferred size; does not alter the size of non-Resizable children; does not position children. javafx.scene.layout.Container classes: set the size of any javafx.scene.layout.Resizable content according to its layout rules and each Resizable's sizing preferences; does not alter the size of non-Resizable content; will position nodes (setting `layoutX/layoutY`) according to its layout rules. CustomNode: by default it behaves like Group, however its layout behavior may be overridden by a subclass. Parents will ignore unmanaged children for the purposes of layout and it is the application's responsibility to set the size and position of an unmanaged node. By default all nodes are managed. If a Parent node is unmanaged, then it will act as a root for layout, which means that layout requests beneath it will cause only the branch rooted by the parent node to be relayed out. true
public	onKeyPressed	function(:KeyEvent):Void				Defines a function to be called when this `Node` has input focus and a key has been pressed.
public	onKeyReleased	function(:KeyEvent):Void				Defines a function to be called when this `Node` has input focus and a key has been released.
public	onKeyTyped	function(:KeyEvent):Void				Defines a function to be called when this `Node` has input focus and a key has been typed.
public	onMouseClicked	function(:MouseEvent):Void				Defines a function to be called when a mouse button has been clicked (pressed and released) on this `Node`.
public	onMouseDragged	function(:MouseEvent):Void				Defines a function to be called when a mouse button is pressed on this `Node` and then dragged.
public	onMouseEntered	function(:MouseEvent):Void				Defines a function to be called when the mouse enters this `Node`.
public	onMouseExited	function(:MouseEvent):Void				Defines a function to be called when the mouse exits this `Node`.
public	onMouseMoved	function(:MouseEvent):Void				Defines a function to be called when mouse cursor moves within this `Node` but no buttons have been pushed.
public	onMousePressed	function(:MouseEvent):Void				Defines a function to be called when a mouse button has been pressed on this `Node`.
public	onMouseReleased	function(:MouseEvent):Void				Defines a function to be called when a mouse button has been released on this `Node`.
public	onMouseWheelMoved	function(:MouseEvent):Void				Defines a function to be called when the mouse scroll wheel has moved.
public	opacity	Number			1.0	Specifies how opaque (that is, solid) the `Node` appears. Specifies how opaque (that is, solid) the `Node` appears. A Node with 0% opacity is fully translucent. That is, while it is still visible and rendered, you generally won't be able to see it. The exception to this rule is when the Z`Node` is combined with a blending mode and blend effect in which case a translucent Node may still have an impact in rendering. An opacity of 50% will render the node as being 50% transparent. A visible node with any opacity setting still receives mouse events and can receive keyboard focus. For example, if you want to have a large invisible rectangle overlay all Nodes in the scene graph in order to intercept mouse events but not be visible to the user, you could create a large Rectangle that had an opacity of 0%. Opacity is specified as a value between 0 and 1. Values less than 0 or greater than 1 are clipped to 0 and 1 respectively. On some platforms ImageView might not support opacity variable. 1.0 Profile: common
public-read package	parent	Parent			null	The parent of this `Node`. The parent of this `Node`. If this `Node` has not been added to a scene graph, then parent will be null. null Profile: common
public	pickOnBounds	Boolean			false	Defines how the picking computation is done for this node when triggered by a `MouseEvent` or a `contains` function call. Defines how the picking computation is done for this node when triggered by a `MouseEvent` or a `contains` function call. If `pickOnBounds` is true, then picking is computed by intersecting with the bounds of this node, else picking is computed by intersecting with the geometric shape of this node. false Profile: common
public-read protected	pressed	Boolean	subclass	subclass	false	Whether or not the `Node` is pressed. Whether or not the `Node` is pressed. Typically this is true when the primary mouse button is down, though subclasses may define other mouse button state or key state to cause the node to be "pressed". false Profile: common
public	rotate	Number			0.0	Defines the angle of rotation about the `Node`'s center, measured in degrees. Defines the angle of rotation about the `Node`'s center, measured in degrees. This is used to rotate the `Node`. This rotation factor is not included in layoutBounds by default, which makes it ideal for rotating the entire node after all effects and transforms have been taken into account. The pivot point about which the rotation occurs is the center of the untransformed layoutBounds. Note that because the pivot point is computed as the center of this `Node`'s layout bounds, any change to the layout bounds will cause the pivot point to change, which can move the object. For a leaf node, any change to the geometry will cause the layout bounds to change. For a group node, any change to any of its children, including a change in a child's geometry, clip, effect, position, orientation, or scale, will cause the group's layout bounds to change. If this movement of the pivot point is not desired, applications should instead use the Node's transforms[] sequence, and add a javafx.scene.transform.Rotate transform, which has a user-specifiable pivot point. 0.0 Profile: common
public	rotationAxis	Point3D			Rotate.Z_AXIS	Defines the axis of rotation of this `Node`. Defines the axis of rotation of this `Node`. Note: this is a conditional feature. See ConditionalFeature.SCENE3D for more information. Rotate.Z_AXIS Profile: common conditional scene3d
public	scaleX	Number			1.0	Defines the factor by which coordinates are scaled about the center of the object along the X axis of this `Node`. Defines the factor by which coordinates are scaled about the center of the object along the X axis of this `Node`. This is used to stretch or animate the node either manually or by using an animation. This scale factor is not included in layoutBounds by default, which makes it ideal for scaling the entire node after all effects and transforms have been taken into account. The pivot point about which the scale occurs is the center of the untransformed layoutBounds. 1.0 Profile: common
public	scaleY	Number			1.0	Defines the factor by which coordinates are scaled about the center of the object along the Y axis of this `Node`. Defines the factor by which coordinates are scaled about the center of the object along the Y axis of this `Node`. This is used to stretch or animate the node either manually or by using an animation. This scale factor is not included in layoutBounds by default, which makes it ideal for scaling the entire node after all effects and transforms have been taken into account. The pivot point about which the scale occurs is the center of the untransformed layoutBounds. 1.0 Profile: common
public	scaleZ	Number			1.0	Defines the factor by which coordinates are scaled about the center of the object along the Z axis of this `Node`. Defines the factor by which coordinates are scaled about the center of the object along the Z axis of this `Node`. This is used to stretch or animate the node either manually or by using an animation. This scale factor is not included in layoutBounds by default, which makes it ideal for scaling the entire node after all effects and transforms have been taken into account. The pivot point about which the scale occurs is the center of the rectangular bounds formed by taking boundsInLocal and applying all the transforms in the transforms[] sequence. Note: this is a conditional feature. See ConditionalFeature.SCENE3D for more information. 1.0 Profile: common conditional scene3d
public-read package	scene	Scene			null	The Scene that this `Node` is part of. The Scene that this `Node` is part of. If the Node is not part of a scene, then this variable will be null. null Profile: common
public	style	String			empty string	A string representation of the CSS style associated with this specific Node. A string representation of the CSS style associated with this specific Node. This is analogous to the "style" attribute of an HTML element. Note that, like the HTML style attribute, this variable contains style properties and values and not the selector portion of a style rule. Parsing this style might not be supported on some limited platforms. It is recommended to use a standalone CSS file instead. empty string Profile: common
public	styleClass	String			empty string	A String identifier which can be used to logically group Nodes, specifically for an external style engine. A String identifier which can be used to logically group Nodes, specifically for an external style engine. This variable is analogous to the "class" attribute on an HTML element. empty string Profile: common
public	transforms	Transform[]			empty	Defines the sequence of javafx.scene.transform.Transform objects to be applied to this `Node`. Defines the sequence of javafx.scene.transform.Transform objects to be applied to this `Node`. This sequence of transforms is applied before translateX, translateY, scaleX, and scaleY, rotate transforms. empty Profile: common
public	translateX	Number			0	Defines the x coordinate of the translation that is added to this `Node`'s transform. Defines the x coordinate of the translation that is added to this `Node`'s transform. The node's final translation will be computed as layoutX + `translateX`, where `layoutX` establishes the node's stable position and `translateX` optionally makes dynamic adjustments to that position. This variable can be used to alter the location of a node without disturbing its layoutBounds, which makes it useful for animating a node's location. 0 Profile: common
public	translateY	Number			0	Defines the y coordinate of the translation that is added to this `Node`'s transform. Defines the y coordinate of the translation that is added to this `Node`'s transform. The node's final translation will be computed as layoutY + `translateY`, where `layoutY` establishes the node's stable position and `translateY` optionally makes dynamic adjustments to that position. This variable can be used to alter the location of a node without disturbing its layoutBounds, which makes it useful for animating a node's location. 0 Profile: common
public	translateZ	Number			0	Defines the Z coordinate of the translation that is added to the transformed coordinates of this `Node`. Defines the Z coordinate of the translation that is added to the transformed coordinates of this `Node`. This value will be added to any translation defined by the `transforms` sequence and `layoutZ`. This variable can be used to alter the location of a Node without disturbing its layout bounds, which makes it useful for animating a node's location. Note: this is a conditional feature. See ConditionalFeature.SCENE3D for more information. 0 Profile: common conditional scene3d
public	visible	Boolean			true	Specifies whether this `Node` and any subnodes should be rendered as part of the scene graph. Specifies whether this `Node` and any subnodes should be rendered as part of the scene graph. A node may be visible and yet not be shown in the rendered scene if, for instance, it is off the screen or obscured by another Node. Invisible nodes never receive mouse events or keyboard focus, and never maintain keyboard focus when they become invisible. true Profile: common

The `Resizable`'s layout height, which is set by the it's parent during layout and should not be set directly by the application. Any value set by the application will be overridden by the parent when it lays out the Resizable in accordance with the Resizable's sizing preferences and the parent's layout policy. If an application needs to control the height of a Resizable node, it should override its preferred height using `LayoutInfo`: `Label { layoutInfo: LayoutInfo { height: 100 } }` Profile: common
public	width	Number					The `Resizable`'s layout width, which is set by the it's parent during layout and should not be set directly by the application. The `Resizable`'s layout width, which is set by the it's parent during layout and should not be set directly by the application. Any value set by the application will be overridden by the parent when it lays out the Resizable in accordance with the Resizable's sizing preferences and the parent's layout policy.

public requestFocus() : Void

Requests that this Node get the input focus, and that this Node's top-level ancestor become the focused window.

Requests that this Node get the input focus, and that this Node's top-level ancestor become the focused window. To be eligible to receive the focus, the node must be part of a scene, it and all of its ancestors must be visible, and it must not be disabled. If this node is eligible, this function will cause it to become this Scene's "focus owner". Each scene has at most one focus owner node. The focus owner will not actually have the input focus, however, unless the scene belongs to a Stage that is both visible and active.

javafx.scene.layout.Resizable

public getHFill() : Boolean

Returns the Resizable's horizontal fill preference, which indicates whether or not the Resizable's width should be resized beyond its preferred width (up to its maximum) to fill it's allocated layout area.

All container classes (HBox, VBox, Stack, Flow(vertical), Tile) consult this preference when resizing Resizable children.

An application may override the horizontal fill of a Resizable node using LayoutInfo:


      Label {
          layoutInfo: LayoutInfo { hfill: true }
      }

This function returns false by default; Resizable subclasses should override this function to return an appropriate value.

Boolean

public getHGrow() : Priority

Returns the Resizable's horizontal grow priority which determines whether it's layout area is given more horizontal space if its available.

The horizontal grow priority is only used if the parent container is resized larger than its preferred width and multiple nodes are competing for extra horizontal space, which for the concrete containers is only applicable to HBox. Note that growing applies only to the layout area assigned to the Resizable; how the Resizable is sized with respect to that area is determined separately by its size and fill preferences (see getPrefWidth and getHFill).

If ALWAYS, the Resizable's layout area will always grow horizontally if there is additional space, sharing the increase with other nodes that have an hgrow of ALWAYS. The Resizable's layout area will never be grown beyond the Resizable's maximum width.

If SOMETIMES, the Resizable's layout area will only grow horizontally if either no other node has specified ALWAYS, or the additional space was not completely allocated to nodes specifying ALWAYS because of their maximum size limits.

If NEVER, the Resizable's layout area will never be grown horizontally if there is additional space.

If the Resizable returns ALWAYS or SOMETIMES, then getHFill should typically return true to ensure the node will be resized beyond its preferred to take advantage of its larger layout area.

An application may override the horizontal grow priority of a Resizable node using LayoutInfo:


      Label {
          layoutInfo: LayoutInfo { hgrow: Priority.ALWAYS }
      }

This function returns Priority.NEVER by default; Resizable subclasses should override this function to return an appropriate value.

Priority

public getHShrink() : Priority

Returns the Resizable's horizontal shrink priority, which determines whether it's layout area is given less horizontal space if its parent is resized smaller than its preferred width.

The horizontal shrink priority is only used if the parent container is resized smaller than its preferred width and multiple nodes are competing for horizontal space, which for the concrete containers is only applicable to HBox.

If ALWAYS, the Resizable's layout area will always shrink horizontally if there is less space, sharing the decrease with other nodes that have an hshrink of ALWAYS. The Resizable's layout area will never be sized smaller than the node's minimum width.

If SOMETIMES, the Resizable's layout area will only shrink horizontally if either no other node has specified ALWAYS, or the reduced space was not completely distributed to nodes specifying ALWAYS because of their minimum size limits.

If NEVER, the Resizable's layout area will never be shrunken horizontally if there is reduced space.

An application may override the horizontal shrink priority of a Resizable node using LayoutInfo:


      Label {
          layoutInfo: LayoutInfo { hshrink: Priority.ALWAYS }
      }

This function returns Priority.NEVER by default; Resizable subclasses should override this function to return an appropriate value.

public getMaxHeight() : Number

Returns the Resizable's maximum height.

Returns the Resizable's maximum height. Layout containers should strive not to set the Resizable's height larger than this value. This value is computed by the node subclass using applicable state and variable settings and is not directly settable by applications.

An application may override the maximum height of a Resizable node using LayoutInfo:


      Label {
          layoutInfo: LayoutInfo { maxHeight: 30 }
      }

This function returns Integer.MAX_VALUE by default; Resizable subclasses should override this function to return an appropriate value.

public getMaxWidth() : Number

Returns the Resizable's maximum width.

Returns the Resizable's maximum width. Layout containers should strive not to set the Resizable's width larger than this value. This value is computed by the node subclass using applicable state and variable settings and is not directly settable by applications.

An application may override the maximum width of a Resizable node using LayoutInfo:


      Label {

public getMinHeight() : Number

Returns the Resizable's minimum height.

Returns the Resizable's minimum height. Layout containers should strive not to set the Resizable's height smaller than this value. This value is computed by the node subclass using applicable state and variable settings and is not directly settable by applications.

An application may override the minimum height of a Resizable node using LayoutInfo:


      Label {
          layoutInfo: LayoutInfo { minHeight: 30 }

public getMinWidth() : Number

Returns the Resizable's minimum width.

Returns the Resizable's minimum width. Layout containers should strive not to set the Resizable's width smaller than this value. This value is calculated by the node subclass using applicable state and variable settings and is not directly settable by applications.

An application may override the minimum width of a Resizable node using LayoutInfo:


      Label {

public abstract getPrefHeight(width: Number) : Number

Returns the Resizable's preferred height, given the specified width.

Returns the Resizable's preferred height, given the specified width. If a particular width need not be factored into the result, -1 may be passed in as the width parameter. Implementations of this function may also choose to ignore width if it does not impact the result.

Layout containers should set the Resizable's height to this value whenever possible. This value is computed by the node subclass using applicable state and variable settings and is not directly settable by applications.

An application may override the preferred height of a Resizable node using LayoutInfo:

This function returns false by default; Resizable subclasses should override this function to return an appropriate value.

Boolean

public getVGrow() : Priority

Returns the Resizable's vertical grow priority, which determines whether it's layout area is given more vertical space if its available.

The vertical grow priority is only used if the parent container is resized larger than its preferred height and multiple nodes are competing for extra vertical space, which for the concrete containers is only applicable to VBox. Note that growing applies only to the layout area assigned to the Resizable; how the Resizable is sized with respect to that area is determined separately by its size and fill preferences (see getPrefHeight and getVFill).

If ALWAYS, the Resizable's layout area will always grow vertically if there is additional space, sharing the increase with other nodes that have an vgrow of ALWAYS. The Resizable's layout area will never be grown beyond the Resizable's maximum height.

If SOMETIMES, the Resizable's layout area will only grow vertically if either no other node has specified ALWAYS, or the additional space was not completely allocated to nodes specifying ALWAYS because of their maximum size limits.
