It is better to use anchors instead. Click to expand... Thank you for the information. I am studying anchor properties to apply them as suggested. It seems that the placement and size of a node in an AnchorPane is overridden by use of SetAnchor for the node. I also assume that to account for changes in font size I need to calculate the font size as a function of width and/or height of the anchor pane. Please let me know if I am not thinking correctly.
