Insert text at the center of a image

javafx, javafx-2, javafx-8

Solution

You can use a `StackPane` to performed the desired image overlap. The following code can be used on your example:

private static final ImageView iv;    

static {
    iv = new ImageView(StartPanel.class.getResource("/com/dx57dc/images/6.jpg").toExternalForm());
    Text inftx = new Text("Infrastructure");
    StackPane pane = new StackPane();

    pane.getChildren().add(iv);
    pane.getChildren().add(inftx);

    pane.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER);
}

As informed on `StackPane` tutorial:

The StackPane layout pane places all of the nodes within a single stack with each new node added on top of the previous node. This layout model provides an easy way to overlay text on a shape or image or to overlap common shapes to create a complex shape.

Problem

I have this code which inserts Image into the center of a borderpane: ``` private static final ImageView iv; static { iv = new ImageView(StartPanel.class.getResource("/com/dx57dc/images/6.jpg").toExternalForm()); } bpi.setCenter(iv); ``` And now I have this problem. I have this insert text as a label at the center of the image. Text inftx = new Text("Infrastructure"); How I can do this?
