Adding a Pane to the root StackPane will allow setting of static control position with setLayoutX()/setLayoutY(). Therefore, it will not be necessary to change the root pane in the runtime as proposed above. Presumably any of the other layout panes could be added to the pre-existing root pane, although this has yet to be tested.
// Adding a Pane to root StackPane will allow user to
// set control position with setLayoutX()/setLayoutY()
import javafx.scene.canvas.Canvas;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.scene.layout.Pane;
Canvas canvas;
StackPane root;
Pane pane;
void setup(){
size(350,200,FX2D);
surface.setTitle("JavaFX control in Default Wnd");
canvas = (Canvas)surface.getNative();
println("canvas =",canvas);
root = (StackPane)canvas.getParent();
println("root =",root);
pane = new Pane();
root.getChildren().add(pane);
Button btn = new Button("Push Me");
btn.setLayoutX(60);
btn.setLayoutY(30);
pane.getChildren().add(btn);
println("pane =",pane);
}
Output:
