How to create a separator using JavaFX?
A separator is a horizontal or, the vertical line separating the UI elements of an application.
In JavaFX the javafx.scene.control.Separator class represents a separator, to create a separator you need to instantiate this class. This class has three properties namely −
halignment − This property specifies the horizontal alignment of a vertical separator. You can set value to this, using the setHalignment() method
orientation − This property specifies the orientation of the current separator i.e. horizontal or vertical. You can set value to this property using the setOrientation() method.
valignment − This property specifies the vertical alignment of a horizontal separator. You can set value to this, using the setValignment() method
By default the separator class creates a horizontal separator, to create a vertical separator you need to change its orientation using the setOrientation() method.
Example
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.geometry.HPos;
import javafx.geometry.Insets;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.CheckBox;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.control.Separator;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.text.Font;
import javafx.scene.text.FontPosture;
import javafx.scene.text.FontWeight;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class SeparatorExample extends Application {
public void start(Stage stage) {
//Creating the check boxes
CheckBox checkBox1 = new CheckBox("Hindi");
CheckBox checkBox2 = new CheckBox("Gujarathi");
CheckBox checkBox3 = new CheckBox("Punjabi");
CheckBox checkBox4 = new CheckBox("Telugu");
CheckBox checkBox5 = new CheckBox("Tamil");
CheckBox checkBox6= new CheckBox("Malayalam");
//Creating a label
Label label = new Label("Select known languages:");
Font font = Font.font("verdana", FontWeight.BOLD, FontPosture.REGULAR, 12);
label.setFont(font);
//Creating a separator
Separator sep = new Separator();
sep.setMaxWidth(80);
sep.setHalignment(HPos.CENTER);
//Adding the check boxes and separator to the pane
VBox vBox = new VBox(5);
vBox.setPadding(new Insets(5, 5, 5, 50));
vBox.getChildren().addAll(label, checkBox1, checkBox2, checkBox3,
checkBox4, checkBox5, checkBox6);
//Adding the separator after the 3rd check box
vBox.getChildren().add(4, sep);
//Setting the stage
Scene scene = new Scene(vBox, 595, 200, Color.BEIGE);
stage.setTitle("Seperator Example");
stage.setScene(scene);
stage.show();
}
public static void main(String args[]){
launch(args);
}
}Output
