Chapter 13
GUI Programming Continued
It's possible to program a wide variety of GUI applications using only the techniques covered in Chapter 6. In many cases, the basic events, components, layouts, and graphics routines covered in that chapter suffice. But the JavaFX graphical user interface library is far richer than what we have seen so far, and it can be used to build highly sophisticated applications. This chapter continues the study of JavaFX, but still does not cover it fully. Some advanced topics, such as support for video and three-dimensional graphics, are not even mentioned. Full coverage of JavaFX would require at least another complete book. However, this chapter should deepen your understanding of JavaFX and GUI programming.
