    public class Region
extends Parent
    Region is the base class for all JavaFX Node-based UI Controls, and all layout containers. It is a resizable Parent node which can be styled from CSS. It can have multiple backgrounds and borders. It is designed to support as much of the CSS3 specification for backgrounds and borders as is relevant to JavaFX. The full specification is available at the W3C.

    Every Region has its layout bounds, which are specified to be (0, 0, width, height). A Region might draw outside these bounds. The content area of a Region is the area which is occupied for the layout of its children. This area is, by default, the same as the layout bounds of the Region, but can be modified by either the properties of a border (either with BorderStrokes or BorderImages), and by padding. The padding can be negative, such that the content area of a Region might extend beyond the layout bounds of the Region, but does not affect the layout bounds.

    A Region has a Background, and a Border, although either or both of these might be empty. The Background of a Region is made up of zero or more BackgroundFills, and zero or more BackgroundImages. Likewise, the border of a Region is defined by its Border, which is made up of zero or more BorderStrokes and zero or more BorderImages. All BackgroundFills are drawn first, followed by BackgroundImages, BorderStrokes, and finally BorderImages. The content is drawn above all backgrounds and borders. If a BorderImage is present (and loaded all images properly), then no BorderStrokes are actually drawn, although they are considered for computing the position of the content area (see the stroke width property of a BorderStroke). These semantics are in line with the CSS 3 specification. The purpose of these semantics are to allow an application to specify a fallback BorderStroke to be displayed in the case that an ImageStroke fails to download or load.

    By default a Region appears as a Rectangle. A BackgroundFill radii might cause the Rectangle to appear rounded. This affects not only making the visuals look like a rounded rectangle, but it also causes the picking behavior of the Region to act like a rounded rectangle, such that locations outside the corner radii are ignored. A Region can be made to use any shape, however, by specifying the shape property. If a shape is specified, then all BackgroundFills, BackgroundImages, and BorderStrokes will be applied to the shape. BorderImages are not used for Regions which have a shape specified.

    Although the layout bounds of a Region are not influenced by any Border or Background, the content area insets and the picking area of the Region are. The insets of the Region define the distance between the edge of the layout bounds and the edge of the content area. For example, if the Region layout bounds are (x=0, y=0, width=200, height=100), and the insets are (top=10, right=20, bottom=30, left=40), then the content area bounds will be (x=40, y=10, width=140, height=60). A Region subclass which is laying out its children should compute and honor these content area bounds.

    By default a Region inherits the layout behavior of its superclass, Parent, which means that it will resize any resizable child nodes to their preferred size, but will not reposition them. If an application needs more specific layout behavior, then it should use one of the Region subclasses: StackPane, HBox, VBox, TilePane, FlowPane, BorderPane, GridPane, or AnchorPane.

    To implement a more custom layout, a Region subclass must override computePrefWidth, computePrefHeight, and layoutChildren. Note that layoutChildren is called automatically by the scene graph while executing a top-down layout pass and it should not be invoked directly by the region subclass.

    Region subclasses which layout their children will position nodes by setting layoutX/layoutY and do not alter translateX/translateY, which are reserved for adjustments and animation.

    • Property Detail

      • snapToPixel

        public final BooleanProperty snapToPixelProperty
        Defines whether this region adjusts position, spacing, and size values of its children to pixel boundaries. This defaults to true, which is generally the expected behavior in order to have crisp user interfaces. A value of false will allow for fractional alignment, which may lead to "fuzzy" looking borders.

        isSnapToPixel(), setSnapToPixel(boolean)

      • padding

        public final ObjectProperty<Insets> paddingProperty
        The top, right, bottom, and left padding around the region's content. This space will be included in the calculation of the region's minimum and preferred sizes. By default padding is Insets.EMPTY. Setting the value to null should be avoided.
        See Also:
        getPadding(), setPadding(Insets)

      • background

        public final ObjectProperty<Background> backgroundProperty
        The background of the Region, which is made up of zero or more BackgroundFills, and zero or more BackgroundImages. It is possible for a Background to be empty, where it has neither fills nor images, and is semantically equivalent to null.

      • border

        public final ObjectProperty<Border> borderProperty
        The border of the Region, which is made up of zero or more BorderStrokes, and zero or more BorderImages. It is possible for a Border to be empty, where it has neither strokes nor images, and is semantically equivalent to null.

      • opaqueInsets

        public final ObjectProperty<Insets> opaqueInsetsProperty
        Defines the area of the region within which completely opaque pixels are drawn. This is used for various performance optimizations. The pixels within this area MUST BE fully opaque, or rendering artifacts will result. It is the responsibility of the application, either via code or via CSS, to ensure that the opaqueInsets is correct for a Region based on the backgrounds and borders of that region. The values for each of the insets must be real numbers, not NaN or Infinity. If no known insets exist, then the opaqueInsets should be set to null.

        See Also:
        getOpaqueInsets(), setOpaqueInsets(Insets)

      • insets

        public final ReadOnlyObjectProperty<Insets> insetsProperty
        The insets of the Region define the distance from the edge of the region (its layout bounds, or (0, 0, width, height)) to the edge of the content area. All child nodes should be laid out within the content area. The insets are computed based on the Border which has been specified, if any, and also the padding.

      • width

        public final ReadOnlyDoubleProperty widthProperty
        The width of this resizable node. This property is set by the region's parent during layout and may not be set by the application. If an application needs to explicitly control the size of a region, it should override its preferred size range by setting the minWidth, prefWidth, and maxWidth properties.
        See Also:
        getWidth(), setWidth(double)

      • height

        public final ReadOnlyDoubleProperty heightProperty

      • shape

        public final ObjectProperty<Shape> shapeProperty
        When specified, the Shape will cause the region to be rendered as the specified shape rather than as a rounded rectangle. When null, the Region is rendered as a rounded rectangle. When rendered as a Shape, any Background is used to fill the shape, although any background insets are ignored as are background radii. Any BorderStrokes defined are used for stroking the shape. Any BorderImages are ignored.

                              VPos valignment)
        Utility method which positions the child within an area of this region defined by areaX, areaY, areaWidth x areaHeight, with a baseline offset relative to that area.

        This function does not resize the node and uses the node's layout bounds width and height to determine how it should be positioned within the area.

        If the vertical alignment is VPos.BASELINE then it will position the node so that its own baseline aligns with the passed in baselineOffset, otherwise the baseline parameter is ignored.

        If snapToPixel is true for this region, then the x/y position values will be rounded to their nearest pixel boundaries.

        Parameters:
        child - the child being positioned within this region
        areaX - the horizontal offset of the layout area relative to this region
        areaY - the vertical offset of the layout area relative to this region
        areaWidth - the width of the layout area
        areaHeight - the height of the layout area
        areaBaselineOffset - the baseline offset to be used if VPos is BASELINE
        halignment - the horizontal alignment for the child within the area

        Utility method which positions the child within an area of this region defined by areaX, areaY, areaWidth x areaHeight, with a baseline offset relative to that area.

        This function does not resize the node and uses the node's layout bounds width and height to determine how it should be positioned within the area.

        If the vertical alignment is VPos.BASELINE then it will position the node so that its own baseline aligns with the passed in baselineOffset, otherwise the baseline parameter is ignored.

        If snapToPixel is true for this region, then the x/y position values will be rounded to their nearest pixel boundaries.

        If margin is non-null, then that space will be allocated around the child within the layout area. margin may be null.

        Parameters:
        child - the child being positioned within this region
        areaX - the horizontal offset of the layout area relative to this region
        areaY - the vertical offset of the layout area relative to this region

                            VPos valignment)
        Utility method which lays out the child within an area of this region defined by areaX, areaY, areaWidth x areaHeight, with a baseline offset relative to that area.

        If the child is resizable, this method will resize it to fill the specified area unless the node's maximum size prevents it. If the node's maximum size preference is less than the area size, the maximum size will be used. If node's maximum is greater than the area size, then the node will be resized to fit within the area, unless its minimum size prevents it.

        If the child has a non-null contentBias, then this method will use it when resizing the child. If the contentBias is horizontal, it will set its width first to the area's width (up to the child's max width limit) and then pass that value to compute the child's height. If child's contentBias is vertical, then it will set its height to the area height (up to child's max height limit) and pass that height to compute the child's width. If the child's contentBias is null, then it's width and height have no dependencies on each other.

        If the child is not resizable (Shape, Group, etc) then it will only be positioned and not resized.

        If the child's resulting size differs from the area's size (either because it was not resizable or it's sizing preferences prevented it), then this function will align the node relative to the area using horizontal and vertical alignment values. If valignment is VPos.BASELINE then the node's baseline will be aligned with the area baseline offset parameter, otherwise the baseline parameter is ignored.

        If snapToPixel is true for this region, then the resulting x,y values will be rounded to their nearest pixel boundaries and the width/height values will be ceiled to the next pixel boundary.

        Parameters:
        child - the child being positioned within this region
        areaX - the horizontal offset of the layout area relative to this region
        areaY - the vertical offset of the layout area relative to this region

      • getUserAgentStylesheet

        public String getUserAgentStylesheet()
        An implementation may specify its own user-agent styles for this Region, and its children, by overriding this method. These styles are used in addition to whatever user-agent stylesheets are in use. This provides a mechanism for third parties to introduce styles for custom controls.

        The URL is a hierarchical URI of the form [scheme:][//authority][path]. If the URL does not have a [scheme:] component, the URL is considered to be the [path] component only. Any leading '/' character of the [path] is ignored and the [path] is treated as a path relative to the root of the application's classpath.

        Subclasses overriding this method should not assume any particular implementation approach as to the number and frequency with which it is called. For this reason, attempting any kind of dynamic implementation (i.e. returning different user agent stylesheet values) based on some state change is highly discouraged, as there is no guarantee when, or even if, this method will be called. Some JavaFX CSS implementations may choose to cache this response for an indefinite period of time, and therefore there should be no expectation around when this method is called.
