Is it possible to make a javafx ui application without using layout managers ?

Question

I want to make an user interface application without using layout managers. In my previous attempt i made an application in java swing. There i used the setBounds() function. Is there any function like setBounds() in javafx ?

Answer 1

There really isn't any more to it than that.
Again, I have no idea why you would do things this way (either in JavaFX or in Swing), but:
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.control.TextField;
import javafx.scene.layout.Pane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class ManualPositioningExample extends Application {
    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        final Pane root = new Pane();
        final Button button = new Button("Click me");
        final Label label = new Label("A Label");
        final TextField textField = new TextField();
        root.getChildren().addAll(button, label, textField);
        label.relocate(25, 25);
        textField.relocate(75, 25);
        textField.setPrefSize(100, 20);
        button.relocate(25, 50);
        button.setPrefSize(150, 20);
        Scene scene = new Scene(root, 400, 200);
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
