I'm trying to set the shape property of an hbox to a polygon. The following code is within a class that extends Hbox with a constructor that requires a list of points called origPoints.
val polygon = new javafx.scene.shape.Polygon()
origPoints.foreach{case (x,y) => polygon.getPoints.addAll(x,y)}
setShape(polygon)
setStyle("-fx-border-color: red")
Sorry if the syntax is a little different. I am using ScalaFX, but I don't believe that is causing any issues in this case.
For more information: I am making an intractable map of the United States. I have the coordinates mapped out for each state. I would like to have the advantages of using an hbox, such as being able to add children such as text.
As Sedrick Jefferson pointed out, the minWidth and minHeight need to be set or else the hbox prefers a 0 height/width. I wanted my countries to be able to scale when the window was resized so I binded their minHeight/minWidth properties to a SimpleDoubleProperty that kept track of the scale ratio of the background in order to scale the height/width accordingly.
origPoints.foreach{case (x,y) => polygon.getPoints.addAll(x,y)}
shape = polygon
styleClass.setAll("country")
minHeight.bind(yScale.multiply(origHeight))
minWidth.bind(xScale.multiply(origWidth))
