Module 36: Introduction to JavaFX

🎨 What is JavaFX?

JavaFX is a modern Java library for creating desktop GUI applications. It provides a rich set of UI controls, graphics, and media features, and replaces the older Swing library for building graphical user interfaces.

🧱 JavaFX Features

• Rich set of UI controls
• CSS styling support
• FXML for UI design
• 2D and 3D graphics
• Built-in animation and media support

🛠 JavaFX Example

                    import javafx.application.Application;
                    import javafx.scene.Scene;
                    import javafx.scene.control.Label;
                    import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
                    import javafx.stage.Stage;
                    
                    public class HelloFX extends Application {
                      public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
                        Label label = new Label("Hello, JavaFX!");
                        StackPane root = new StackPane(label);
                        Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 200);
                        primaryStage.setTitle("JavaFX Example");
                        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
                        primaryStage.show();
                      }
                    
                      public static void main(String[] args) {
                        launch(args);
                      }
                    }

Note: JavaFX is not bundled with JDK from Java 11 onwards. You may need to install it separately or use an IDE like IntelliJ or Eclipse with JavaFX support.
