LayoutInfo

Inherits from: LayoutInfoBase

Overview

Defines a set of common layout variables that can be used to specify how a particular node should be layed out within the layout space allocated to it by its parent container.

All of the container classes provided in javafx.scene.layout support LayoutInfo, however setting layoutInfo on a node which is inside one of these containers is only required when the application needs to override the default layout behavior of that container. For example, to override the preferred sizes of a button so it will always be 100 wide:

             
HBox {
    content: [
        Button {
            layoutInfo: LayoutInfo { minWidth: 100 width: 100 maxWidth: 100 }
        }
        // ..other nodes in hbox
    ]
 }

Variable Summary

name	type	description
minWidth	Number	If set, will override a resizable node's minimum width. If the node is not resizable, will be ignored.
minHeight	Number	If set, will override a resizable node's minimum height. If the node is not resizable, will be ignored.
width	Number	If set, will override a resizable node's preferred width. If the node is not resizable, will be ignored.
height	Number	If set, will override a resizable node's preferred height. If the node is not resizable, will be ignored.
maxWidth	Number	If set, will override a resizable node's maximum width. If the node is not resizable, will be ignored.
maxHeight	Number	If set, will override a resizable node's maximum height. If the node is not resizable, will be ignored.
hfill	Boolean	If set, indicates that resizable node's width should be resized beyond its preferred width (up to its maximum) to fill it's allocated layout area. If the node is not resizable, will be ignored.
vfill	Boolean	If set, indicates that resizable node's height should be resized beyond its preferred height (up to its maximum) to fill it's allocated layout area. If the node is not resizable, will be ignored.
hpos	HPos	If set, will define how the node should be horizontally positioned relative to its allocated layout area.
vpos	VPos	If set, will define how the node should be vertically positioned relative to its allocated layout area.
hgrow	Priority	If set, will define the horizontal grow priority for the node's layout area. This constraint controls how a container allocates additional horizontal space to the node's layout area if the container is resized larger than its preferred width and multiple nodes are competing for horizontal space. If `ALWAYS`, the node'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 node's layout area will never be grown beyond the node's maximum width. If `SOMETIMES`, the node'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 node's layout area will never be grown horizontally if there is additional space.
vgrow	Priority	If set, will define the vertical grow priority for the node's layout area. This constraint controls how a container allocates additional vertical space to the node's layout area if the container is resized larger than its preferred height and multiple nodes are competing for vertical space. If `ALWAYS`, the node's layout area will always grow vertically if there is additional space, sharing the increase with other nodes that have a vgrow of ALWAYS. The node's layout area will never be grown beyond the node's maximum height. If `SOMETIMES`, the node'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. If `NEVER`, the node's layout area will never be grown vertically if there is additional space.
hshrink	Priority	If set, will define the horizontal shrink priority for the node's layout area. This constraint controls how a container subtracts horizontal space from the node's layout area if the container is resized smaller than its preferred width and multiple nodes are competing for horizontal space. If `ALWAYS`, the node'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 node's layout area will never be sized smaller than the node's minimum width. If `SOMETIMES`, the node'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 node's layout area will never be shrunken horizontally if there is reduced space.
vshrink	Priority	If set, will define the vertical shrink priority for the node's layout area. This constraint controls how a container subtracts vertical space from the node's layout area if the container is resized smaller than its preferred height and multiple nodes are competing for vertical space. If `ALWAYS`, the node's layout area will always shrink vertically if there is less space, sharing the decrease with other nodes that have a vshrink of ALWAYS. The node's layout area will never be sized smaller than the node's minimum height. If `SOMETIMES`, the node's layout area will only shrink vertically 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 node's layout area will never be shrunken vertically if there is reduced space.
margin	Insets	If set, will define a margin of space that should be allocated around the outside of the node's layout bounds during layout.
