Class RowConstraints

java.lang.Object
javafx.scene.layout.ConstraintsBase
javafx.scene.layout.RowConstraints
public class RowConstraints extends ConstraintsBase
Defines optional layout constraints for a row in a GridPane. If a RowConstraints object is added for a row in a gridpane, the gridpane will use those constraint values when computing the row's height and layout.

For example, to create a GridPane with 10 rows 50 pixels tall: 


     GridPane gridpane = new GridPane();
     for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
         RowConstraints row = new RowConstraints(50);
         gridpane.getRowConstraints().add(row);
     }
Or, to create a GridPane where rows take 25%, 50%, 25% of its height: 

     GridPane gridpane = new GridPane();
     RowConstraints row1 = new RowConstraints();
     row1.setPercentHeight(25);
     RowConstraints row2 = new RowConstraints();
     row2.setPercentHeight(50);
     RowConstraints row3 = new RowConstraints();
     row3.setPercentHeight(25);
     gridpane.getRowConstraints().addAll(row1,row2,row3);
Note that adding an empty RowConstraints object has the effect of not setting any constraints, leaving the GridPane to compute the row's layout based solely on its content's size preferences and constraints.

  • Property Details

    • minHeight

      public final DoubleProperty minHeightProperty
      The minimum height for the row. This property is ignored if percentHeight is set.

      The default value is USE_COMPUTED_SIZE, which means the minimum height will be computed to be the largest minimum height of the row's content.

      See Also:

    • prefHeight

      public final DoubleProperty prefHeightProperty
      The preferred height for the row. This property is ignored if percentHeight is set.

      The default value is USE_COMPUTED_SIZE, which means the preferred height will be computed to be the largest preferred height of the row's content.

      See Also:

    • maxHeight

      public final DoubleProperty maxHeightProperty
      The maximum height for the row. This property is ignored if percentHeight is set.

      The default value is USE_COMPUTED_SIZE, which means the maximum height will be computed to be the smallest maximum height of the row's content.

      See Also:

    • percentHeight

      public final DoubleProperty percentHeightProperty
      The height percentage of the row. If set to a value greater than 0, the row will be resized to that percentage of the available gridpane height and the other size constraints (minHeight, prefHeight, maxHeight, vgrow) will be ignored. The default value is -1, which means the percentage will be ignored.
      See Also:

    • vgrow

      public final ObjectProperty<Priority> vgrowProperty
      The vertical grow priority for the row. If set, the gridpane will use this priority to determine whether the row should be given any additional height if the gridpane is resized larger than its preferred height. This property is ignored if percentHeight is set.

      This default value is null, which means that the row's grow priority will be derived from largest grow priority set on a content node.

      See Also:

    • valignment

      public final ObjectProperty<VPos> valignmentProperty
      The vertical alignment for the row. If set, will be the default vertical alignment for nodes contained within the row. If this property is set to VPos.BASELINE, then the fillHeight property will be ignored and nodes will always be resized to their preferred heights.
      See Also:

    • fillHeight

      public final BooleanProperty fillHeightProperty
      The vertical fill policy for the row. The gridpane will use this property to determine whether nodes contained within the row should be expanded to fill the row's height or kept to their preferred heights.

      The default value is true.

      minHeight - the minimum height
      prefHeight - the preferred height
      maxHeight - the maximum height

    • RowConstraints

      Parameters:
      minHeight - the minimum height
