Layout using the transformed bounds

Question

I have scaled a node in a Pane. But the layout of the Pane take into account the bounds without any transformation. I want it to take into account the transformed bounds. For example : And the code : ``` import javafx.application.Application; import javafx.geometry.Pos; import javafx.scene.Scene; import javafx.scene.control.Label; import javafx.scene.layout.HBox; import javafx.scene.layout.VBox; import javafx.scene.shape.Circle; import javafx.scene.transform.Scale; import javafx.scene.transform.Translate; import javafx.stage.Stage; public class HBoxApp extends Application { public static void main(String[] args) { launch(args); } @Override public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception { double scale = 0.75; HBox box1 = createBox(); box1.getChildren().add(new Circle(20)); box1.getChildren().add(new Label("Test without any scale")); HBox box2 = createBox(); Circle c2 = new Circle(20); c2.setScaleX(scale); c2.setScaleY(scale); box2.getChildren().add(c2); box2.getChildren().add(new Labe…

Accepted Answer

I found the answer in the post JavaFX1.2: Understanding Bounds :

If you want layoutBounds to match a node's physical bounds (including effects, clip, and transforms) then wrap it in a Group (ex. if you want a node to scale up on mouse-over and you want its neighbors to scoot over to make room for the magnified node).

So for solving my problem, i wrote :

```
...
HBox box5 = createBox();
Circle c5 = new Circle(20);
c5.setScaleX(scale);
c5.setScaleY(scale);
box5.getChildren().add(new Group(c5));
box5.getChildren().add(new Label("Test with the Scale transform and a group"));
...
```

and i got the expected result.
