F IGURE 14.14

An image is displayed in three image views placed in a pane.

The program creates an HBox (line 14). An HBox is a pane that places all nodes horizon-

tallly in one row. The program creates an Image , and then an ImageView for displaying the

iamge, and places the ImageView in the HBox (line 17).

The program creates the second ImageView (line 19), sets its fitHeight and fitWidth

properties (lines 20-21) and places the ImageView into the HBox (line 22). The program cre-

ates the third ImageView (line 24), rotates it 90 degrees (line 25), and places it into the HBox

(line 26). The setRotate method is defined in the Node class and can be used for any node.

Note that an Image object can be shared by multiple nodes. In this case, it is shared by three

ImageView . However, a node such as ImageView cannot be shared. You cannot place an

ImageView multiple times into a pane or scene.

Note that you must place the image file in the same directory as the class file, as shown in

the following figure.
