Canvas
Coming back to the painting, artists have been painting their masterpieces on the canvas. A canvas is also available in JavaFX - Canvas class.
Here is our black square, but with a canvas:
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
Group root = new Group(); // create a root node
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(535, 535); // create a canvas
GraphicsContext gc = canvas.getGraphicsContext2D(); // graphics content
gc.fillRect(50, 50, 435, 435); // square
root.getChildren().add(canvas); // place a canvas on the scene
Scene scene1 = new Scene(root, 535, 535, Color.SNOW); // create a scene
primaryStage.setTitle("Black square"); // set the stage title
primaryStage.setScene(scene1); // place the scene on the stage
primaryStage.show(); // display the stage
}
