GridPane

•
It will adjust the vertical gap between cells in the
GridPane
.
•
It will align controls within cells horizontally.
•
It will align controls within cells vertically.
The following code is the main launching point for the form designer application:
public class ManipulatingLayoutViaGrids extends
Application {
/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
Application.launch(args);
}
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
primaryStage.setTitle("Chapter 15-4 Manipulating
Layout via Grids ");
Group root = new Group();
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 640, 480,
Color.WHITE);
// Left and right split pane
SplitPane splitPane = new SplitPane();
splitPane.prefWidthProperty().bind(scene.widthProperty());
splitPane.prefHeightProperty().bind(scene.heightProperty());
