How to properly resize a group

Question

I have following problem:
To fit a group properly into a pane I want to resize it. Currently, I use setScale.. . The size changes, however the bounds remain the same.
What is the correct way to achieve that?
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.control.TitledPane;
import javafx.scene.layout.HBox;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.shape.Circle;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class JavaFXApplication1 extends Application {
    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        HBox root = new HBox();
        VBox left = new VBox();
        root.getChildren().add(left);
        //create a titled pane with the max width of 100
        TitledPane tp = new TitledPane();       
        tp.setPrefWidth(100);
     tp.setMaxWidth(100);
     tp.setText("Notification");
     tp.setCollapsible(false);
        left.getChildren().add(tp);
        StackPane stackPane = new StackPane();
     stackPane.setPrefHeight(180);
     stackPane.setPrefWidth(100);
     stackPane.setMaxWidth(100);
     tp.setContent(stackPane);
       //just a second node beneth the Titled Pane  
        root.getChildren().add(new Button("Test"));
       // now create a larger circle, scale it down
       // and add it to the stackpane within the titdled pane
       Group gnote = new Group();       
       Circle cleft = new Circle(100,Color.GOLDENROD);
       gnote.getChildren().add(cleft);
       gnote.setScaleX(0.5);
       gnote.setScaleY(0.5);             
       stackPane.getChildren().add(gnote);
        Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);       
        primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World!");
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();

Answer 1

Note to myself:
Put the scaling group into another group. This was too obvious.
