Creating your own custom node
Part of the fun in working with JavaFX is the ease with which you can create your own visual
components. As your needs outgrow the basic nodes that are available, you will find it
necessary to create new components that capture more complex interactivity behaviors and
functionalities. In this recipe, we will explore how to create customized graphical nodes that
can be used wherever you can attach a node to the scene graph.
