JavaFX GridPane

GridPane Layout pane allows us to add the multiple nodes in multiple rows and columns. It is seen as a flexible grid of rows and columns where nodes can be placed in any cell of the grid. It is represented by javafx.scence.layout.GridPane class. We just need to instantiate this class to implement GridPane.

Properties

The properties of the class along with their setter methods are given in the table below.

Property	Description	Setter Methods
alignment	Represents the alignment of the grid within the GridPane.	setAlignment(Pos value)
gridLinesVisible	This property is intended for debugging. Lines can be displayed to show the gidpane's rows and columns by setting this property to true.	setGridLinesVisible(Boolean value)
hgap	Horizontal gaps among the columns	setHgap(Double value)
vgap	Vertical gaps among the rows	setVgap(Double value)

Constructors

The class contains only one constructor that is given below.

Public GridPane(): creates a gridpane with 0 hgap/vgap.

Example:

 package application;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.control.TextField;
import javafx.scene.layout.GridPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class Label_Test extends Application {

	@Override
	public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
		Label first_name=new Label("First Name");
		Label last_name=new Label("Last Name");
		TextField tf1=new TextField();
		TextField tf2=new TextField();
		Button Submit=new Button ("Submit"); 
		GridPane root=new GridPane();
		Scene scene = new Scene(root,400,200);
		root.addRow(0, first_name,tf1);
		root.addRow(1, last_name,tf2);
		root.addRow(2, Submit);
		primaryStage.setScene(scene);
		primaryStage.show();
	}
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		launch(args);
	}
	
}

Output:
