public class StackPane extends Pane
The z-order of the children is defined by the order of the children list with the 0th child being the bottom and last child on top. If a border and/or padding have been set, the children will be layed out within those insets.
The stackpane will attempt to resize each child to fill its content area. If the child could not be sized to fill the stackpane (either because it was not resizable or its max size prevented it) then it will be aligned within the area using the alignment property, which defaults to Pos.CENTER.
StackPane example:
StackPane stack = new StackPane();
stack.getChildren().addAll(new Rectangle(100,100,Color.BLUE), new Label("Go!));
StackPane lays out each managed child regardless of the child's visible property value; unmanaged children are ignored.
StackPane may be styled with backgrounds and borders using CSS. See
Region for details.
| width | height | |
|---|---|---|
| minimum | left/right insets plus the largest of the children's min widths. | top/bottom insets plus the largest of the children's min heights. |
| preferred | left/right insets plus the largest of the children's pref widths. | top/bottom insets plus the largest of the children's pref heights. |
| maximum | Double.MAX_VALUE | Double.MAX_VALUE |
A stackpane's unbounded maximum width and height are an indication to the parent that it may be resized beyond its preferred size to fill whatever space is assigned to it.
StackPane provides properties for setting the size range directly. These properties default to the sentinel value USE_COMPUTED_SIZE, however the application may set them to other values as needed:
// ensure stackpane is never resized beyond it's preferred size
stackpane.setMaxSize(Region.USE_PREF_SIZE, Region.USE_PREF_SIZE);
StackPane does not clip its content by default, so it is possible that childrens' bounds may extend outside its own bounds if a child's min size prevents it from being fit within the stackpane.
| Constraint | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| alignment | javafx.geometry.Pos | The alignment of the child within the stackpane. |
| margin | javafx.geometry.Insets | Margin space around the outside of the child. |
Examples:
// Align the title Label at the bottom-center of the stackpane
Label title = new Label();
StackPane.setAlignment(title, Pos.BOTTOM_CENTER);
stackpane.getChildren.addAll(new ImageView(...), title);
// Create an 8 pixel margin around a listview in the stackpane
ListView list = new ListView();
StackPane.setMargin(list, new Insets(8,8,8,8);
stackpane.getChildren().add(list);

Creates a StackPane layout with default CENTER alignment.
|

|---|---|
ObjectProperty<Pos> |
alignmentProperty()
The default alignment of children within the stackpane's width and height.
|
static void |

Computes the minimum height of this region.
|
protected double |
computeMinWidth(double height)
Computes the minimum width of this region.
|
protected double |
computePrefHeight(double width)
Computes the preferred height of this region for the given width;
Region subclasses should override this method to return an appropriate
value based on their content and layout strategy.
|
protected double |
computePrefWidth(double height)
Computes the preferred width of this region for the given height.
|
Pos |
getAlignment()
Gets the value of the property alignment.
|
static Pos |
getAlignment(Node child)
Returns the child's alignment constraint if set.
|
static List<CssMetaData<? extends Styleable,?>> |
getClassCssMetaData() |
Orientation |
getContentBias()
Returns the orientation of a node's resizing bias for layout purposes.
|
List<CssMetaData<? extends Styleable,?>> |
getCssMetaData()
This method should delegate to
Node.getClassCssMetaData() so that
a Node's CssMetaData can be accessed without the need for reflection. |
static Insets |
getMargin(Node child)
Returns the child's margin constraints if set.
|
protected void |
layoutChildren()
Invoked during the layout pass to layout the children in this
Parent. |
void |
requestLayout()
Requests a layout pass to be performed before the next scene is
rendered.
|
static void |
setAlignment(Node child,
Pos value)
Sets the alignment for the child when contained by a stackpane.
|
void |
setAlignment(Pos value)
Sets the value of the property alignment.
|
static void |
setMargin(Node child,
Insets value)
Sets the margin for the child when contained by a stackpane.
