Next example will answer your questions:
- for (1) it uses binding, connecting pane size with rectangle size
- for (2) it adds
setOnMouseClick
for each rectangle which stores clicked one in the lastOne
field.
for (3) see code of setOnMouseClick()
handler
public class RectangleGrid extends Application {
private Rectangle lastOne;
public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
Pane root = new Pane();
int grid_x = 7; //number of rows
int grid_y = 7; //number of columns
// this binding will find out which parameter is smaller: height or width
NumberBinding rectsAreaSize = Bindings.min(root.heightProperty(), root.widthProperty());
for (int x = 0; x < grid_x; x++) {
for (int y = 0; y < grid_y; y++) {
Rectangle rectangle = new Rectangle();
rectangle.setStroke(Color.WHITE);
rectangle.setOnMouseClicked(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(MouseEvent t) {
if (lastOne != null) {
lastOne.setFill(Color.BLACK);
}
// remembering clicks
lastOne = (Rectangle) t.getSource();
// updating fill
lastOne.setFill(Color.RED);
}
});
// here we position rects (this depends on pane size as well)
rectangle.xProperty().bind(rectsAreaSize.multiply(x).divide(grid_x));
rectangle.yProperty().bind(rectsAreaSize.multiply(y).divide(grid_y));
// here we bind rectangle size to pane size
rectangle.heightProperty().bind(rectsAreaSize.divide(grid_x));
rectangle.widthProperty().bind(rectangle.heightProperty());
root.getChildren().add(rectangle);
}
}
stage.setScene(new Scene(root, 500, 500));
stage.show();
}
public static void main(String[] args) { launch(); }
