Chapter 12, Problem 2AW

Explanation of Solution

“HBox” Layout container:

• “HBox” layout pane is used to display nodes in a horizontal row.
• Syntax: HBox hbox_Object = new HBox ();
• Setting alignment for HBox pane: Setting alignment for “HBox” pane is done by using the function “setAlignmnet()”.

Algorithm:

Step 1: Create an empty “HBox” container named “hbox”.

Step 2: Create a “Scene” and add the object of “HBox” container as the root node. It is given as the first argument.

Step 3: Give “300” as the second argument which sets the scene’s width to 300 pixels.

Step 4:  Give “200” as the third argument which sets the scene’s height to 200 pixels.

Statements to add the given labels to the “HBox” container:

//Creation of empty HBox container

HBox hbox = new HBox ();

//Creating a "Scene" and adding "HBox" as the root node

//Set scene's width and height

Scene myScene = new Scene (hbox, 300, 200);

In the above statement, “hbox” references “HBox” container object and “myScene” references “Scene” object...
