In most cases, we look forward to seeing objects organized and well arranged, especially when we want efficiency
while using them. In the case of object nodes of JavaFX GridPane, there will always be a need to make these objects look smart and organized.
Example: Let us see these four buttons on GridPane
// Java Program to show the four // buttons on the GridPaneimport javafx.application.Application;import javafx.scene.Scene;import javafx.scene.control.Button;import javafx.scene.layout.GridPane;import javafx.stage.Stage; public class GridpaneExamplePadding extends Application { public void start(Stage primaryStage) { primaryStage.setTitle("GridPane Example"); // creating buttons Button button1 = new Button("Button A"); Button button2 = new Button("Button B"); Button button3 = new Button("Button C"); Button button4 = new Button("Button D"); // creating Gridpane object GridPane gridPane = new GridPane(); // adding buttons to the Gridpane gridPane.add(button1, 0, 0); gridPane.add(button2, 1, 0); gridPane.add(button3, 1, 1); gridPane.add(button4, 0, 1); // Adding Gridpane to the scene // and showing the primary stage Scene scene = new Scene(gridPane, 200, 100); primaryStage.setScene(scene); primaryStage.show(); } // main to run our javaFx application public static void main(String[] args) { Application.launch(args); }} |
Output:
You may need to add some spacing between buttons to make things look nice.
Adding space between columns of the Gridpane: gridpane.setHgap(5) // set gap in pixels Adding space between rows of the Gridpane: gridpane.setVgap(5) // set gap in pixels
// Java program to add some spacing // between the buttons of the GridPaneimport javafx.application.Application;import javafx.scene.Scene;import javafx.scene.control.Button;import javafx.scene.layout.GridPane;import javafx.stage.Stage; public class GridpaneExamplePadding extends Application { public void start(Stage primaryStage) { primaryStage.setTitle("GridPane Example"); // creating buttons Button button1 = new Button("Button A"); Button button2 = new Button("Button B"); Button button3 = new Button("Button C"); Button button4 = new Button("Button D"); // creating Gridpane object GridPane gridPane = new GridPane(); // adding buttons to the Gridpane gridPane.add(button1, 0, 0); gridPane.add(button2, 1, 0); gridPane.add(button3, 1, 1); gridPane.add(button4, 0, 1); // spacing the buttons gridPane.setHgap(10); gridPane.setVgap(10); // Adding Gridpane to the scene // and showing the primary stage Scene scene = new Scene(gridPane, 200, 100); primaryStage.setScene(scene); primaryStage.show(); } // main to run our javaFx application public static void main(String[] args) { Application.launch(args); }} |
