Layouts and Resizable Containers are provided to handle Stage, Scene and Component resizing, maintaining logical positioning and sizing across the desired component range.

The folowing classes are available:

• MigLayout - Use MigLayout to size and position nodes.
• XCustomNode - I have this (Steve)
• XGrid - I have this (Steve)
• XHBox - I have this (Steve)
• XScene - I have this (Steve)
• XStack - I have this (Steve)
• XVBox - I have this (Steve)

The JFXtras Layout Zen

To fully use the above layout classes you need to first understand a little bit about the design of the JFXtras layout system. First a few principles that this is all built upon:

1. Absolute positioning is a sin - You should *never* have to resort to setting layoutX/Y or translateX/Y manually. If you have a problem with this, go back to your favorite little GUI builder and leave the hardcore layouts to the pros! (GUI builders that get layouts excepted)
2. Simple layouts should be easy - Drop a few controls in a Grid and you are good to go. No fuss, no muss.
3. Complex layouts should be possible - Want that button to stretch to fill the width? Sure, we can do that (with a little tweaking).
