Grid Panes

Grid panes are used to arrange components in a fixed two-dimensional grid. Grid panes have a "columnCount" property that defines the column structure of the grid and a "rows" collection that defines both the row structure of the grid and the contents of each row.

Each cell in a grid pane is given the same size, based on the available width and height. For more complex table layouts, TablePane, discussed next, may be used.

Below is a simple application that demonstrates the use of the GridPane component. Note the use of the GridPane.Filler component, which is used to insert empty cells:

The BXML source for the application is shown below:
