Prohibit resizing below a certain window size

Question

I was wondering if anyone has some useful insights into the following problem:
I have a scene with a certain initial size. Resizing is allowed, however below certain dimensions the application becomes unusable as not everything can be displayed (Think of an image that should be displayed in a window that is smaller than the image).
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.image.Image;
import javafx.scene.image.ImageView;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class ForceMinSize extends Application {
    private double minWidth = 100;
    private double minHeigth = 100;
    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        try {
            Image img = new Image( getClass().getResource("kajak4_small.png").openStream());
            ImageView imgView = new ImageView(img);
            StackPane root = new StackPane();
            root.getChildren().add(imgView);
            Scene scene = new Scene(root, 190, 163);
            primaryStage.setTitle("Force minimal size");
            primaryStage.setScene(scene);
            primaryStage.show();
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(ForceMinSize.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
Resizing the components to match the size is not an option. As the dimension properties of the stage are readonly I can only get notified when the size goes below the threshold, but can do nothing about it. The only other solution I can see is disabling resize and only allow the initial dimension (configurable) and fullscreen.

Answer 1

primaryStage.setMinWidth(minWidth);
primaryStage.setMinHeight(minHeigth);
