Class TilePane

javafx.scene.layout.TilePane

All Implemented Interfaces:: Styleable, EventTarget

public class TilePane extends Pane

TilePane lays out its children in a grid of uniformly sized "tiles".

A horizontal tilepane (the default) will tile nodes in rows, wrapping at the tilepane's width. A vertical tilepane will tile nodes in columns, wrapping at the tilepane's height.

The size of each "tile" defaults to the size needed to encompass the largest preferred width and height of the tilepane's children and the tilepane will recompute the size of the tiles as needed to accommodate the largest preferred size of its children as it changes. The application may also control the size of the tiles directly by setting prefTileWidth/prefTileHeight properties to a value other than USE_COMPUTED_SIZE (the default).

Applications should initialize either prefColumns (for horizontal) or prefRows (for vertical) to establish the tilepane's preferred size (the arbitrary default is 5). Note that prefColumns/prefRows is used only for calculating the preferred size and may not reflect the actual number of rows or columns, which may change as the tilepane is resized and the tiles are wrapped at its actual boundaries.

The alignment property controls how the rows and columns are aligned within the bounds of the tilepane and defaults to Pos.TOP_LEFT. It is also possible to control the alignment of nodes within the individual tiles by setting tileAlignment, which defaults to Pos.CENTER.

A horizontal tilepane example:


    TilePane tile = new TilePane();
    tile.setHgap(8);
    tile.setPrefColumns(4);
    for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
        tile.getChildren().add(new ImageView(...));
    }

A vertical TilePane example:


    TilePane tile = new TilePane(Orientation.VERTICAL);
    tile.setTileAlignment(Pos.CENTER_LEFT);
    tile.setPrefRows(10);
    for (int i = 0; i < 50; i++) {
        tile.getChildren().add(new ImageView(...));
    }

The TilePane will attempt to resize each child to fill its tile. If the child could not be sized to fill the tile (either because it was not resizable or its size limits prevented it) then it will be aligned within the tile using tileAlignment.

Resizable Range

A tilepane's parent will resize the tilepane within the tilepane's resizable range during layout. By default the tilepane computes this range based on its content as outlined in the tables below.

Horizontal
	width	height
minimum	left/right insets plus the tile width.	top/bottom insets plus height required to display all tiles when wrapped at a specified width with a vgap between each row.
preferred	left/right insets plus prefColumns multiplied by the tile width.	top/bottom insets plus height required to display all tiles when wrapped at a specified width with a vgap between each row.
maximum	Double.MAX_VALUE	Double.MAX_VALUE

Vertical
	width	height
minimum	left/right insets plus width required to display all tiles when wrapped at a specified height with an hgap between each column.	top/bottom insets plus the tile height.
preferred	left/right insets plus width required to display all tiles when wrapped at the specified height with an hgap between each column.	top/bottom insets plus prefRows multiplied by the tile height.
maximum	Double.MAX_VALUE	Double.MAX_VALUE

A tilepane's unbounded maximum width and height are an indication to the parent that it may be resized beyond its preferred size to fill whatever space is assigned to it.

TilePane provides properties for setting the size range directly. These properties default to the sentinel value Region.USE_COMPUTED_SIZE, however the application may set them to other values as needed:


     tilePane.setMaxWidth(500);

Applications may restore the computed values by setting these properties back to Region.USE_COMPUTED_SIZE.

TilePane does not clip its content by default, so it is possible that children's' bounds may extend outside the tiles (and possibly the tilepane bounds) if a child's pref size prevents it from being fit within its tile. Also, if the tilepane is resized smaller than its preferred size, it may not be able to fit all the tiles within its bounds and the content will extend outside.

Optional Layout Constraints

An application may set constraints on individual children to customize TilePane's layout. For each constraint, TilePane provides a static method for setting it on the child.

TilePane Constraint Table
Constraint	Type	Description
alignment	javafx.geometry.Pos	The alignment of the child within its tile.
margin	javafx.geometry.Insets	Margin space around the outside of the child.

Example:


     TilePane tilepane = new TilePane();
     for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
        Label title = new Label(imageTitle[i]):
        Imageview imageview = new ImageView(new Image(imageName[i]));
        TilePane.setAlignment(label, Pos.BOTTOM_RIGHT);
        tilepane.getChildren().addAll(title, imageview);
     }

Property Details

orientation

public final ObjectProperty<Orientation> orientationProperty

The orientation of this tilepane. A horizontal tilepane lays out children in tiles, left to right, wrapping tiles at the tilepane's width boundary. A vertical tilepane lays out children in tiles, top to bottom, wrapping at the tilepane's height. The default is horizontal.

See Also:

prefRows

public final IntegerProperty prefRowsProperty

The preferred number of rows for a vertical tilepane. This value is used only to compute the preferred size of the tilepane and may not reflect the actual number of rows, which may change if the tilepane is resized to something other than its preferred height. This property is ignored for a horizontal tilepane.

It is recommended that the application initialize this value for a vertical tilepane.

See Also:

prefColumns

public final IntegerProperty prefColumnsProperty

The preferred number of columns for a horizontal tilepane. This value is used only to compute the preferred size of the tilepane and may not reflect the actual number of rows, which may change if the tilepane is resized to something other than its preferred height. This property is ignored for a vertical tilepane.

It is recommended that the application initialize this value for a horizontal tilepane.

See Also:

prefTileWidth

public final DoubleProperty prefTileWidthProperty

The preferred width of each tile. If equal to USE_COMPUTED_SIZE (the default) the tile width will be automatically recomputed by the tilepane when the preferred size of children changes to accommodate the widest child. If the application sets this property to value greater than 0, then tiles will be set to that width and the tilepane will attempt to resize children to fit within that width (if they are resizable and their min-max width range allows it).

See Also:

prefTileHeight

public final DoubleProperty prefTileHeightProperty

The preferred height of each tile. If equal to USE_COMPUTED_SIZE (the default) the tile height will be automatically recomputed by the tilepane when the preferred size of children changes to accommodate the tallest child. If the application sets this property to value greater than 0, then tiles will be set to that height and the tilepane will attempt to resize children to fit within that height (if they are resizable and their min-max height range allows it).

See Also:

tileWidth

public final ReadOnlyDoubleProperty tileWidthProperty

The actual width of each tile. This property is read-only.

See Also:

tileHeight

public final ReadOnlyDoubleProperty tileHeightProperty

The actual height of each tile. This property is read-only.

See Also:

hgap

public final DoubleProperty hgapProperty

The amount of horizontal space between each tile in a row.

See Also:

vgap

public final DoubleProperty vgapProperty

The amount of vertical space between each tile in a column.

See Also:

alignment

public final ObjectProperty<Pos> alignmentProperty

The overall alignment of the tilepane's content within its width and height.

For a horizontal tilepane, each row will be aligned within the tilepane's width using the alignment's hpos value, and the rows will be aligned within the tilepane's height using the alignment's vpos value.

For a vertical tilepane, each column will be aligned within the tilepane's height using the alignment's vpos value, and the columns will be aligned within the tilepane's width using the alignment's hpos value.

See Also:

tileAlignment

public final ObjectProperty<Pos> tileAlignmentProperty

The default alignment of each child within its tile. This may be overridden on individual children by setting the child's alignment constraint.
