Pane | JavaFX GUI Tutorial for Beginners

In this JavaFX GUI tutorial for Beginners we will learn how to use the Pane Class. Pane is the base class for layout panes that need to expose their list of child nodes as public so that users can freely add and remove child nodes.

The Pane class requires you to use absolute positioning of child nodes as it does not perform any layout except resizing child nodes to their preferred sizes. As a programmer, you are responsible for positioning ALL child nodes.

Looks like configuring a pane is kinda a pain.

Hi! Nice video. I get an error message in my last line of code
'root.getChildren().addAll(title, description);'
Error: 'getChildren()' has protected access in 'javafx.scene.Parent'

And when I try to type 'Pane', the IDE suggests that I do 'javafx.scene.layout.Pane' instead.
Do you think you can provide any help?
