## Introduction
|
||
|
|
JavaFX is a graphics framework created by Sun Microsystems used for developing rich desktop and Internet applications. JavaFX was created to replace the much older Swing and Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) libraries and serve as the Java language's standard graphics API for Java Standard Edition.

### Gulon SceneBuilder
|
||
|
|
Gulon Scene Builder is an application used for user interface (UI) design in JavaFX. The application uses drag-and-drop for rapid UI design that allows you to visualize the interface you are creating while designing it.

### FXML
|
||
|
|
FXML is an XML-based markup language used for defining structures in JavaFX. The FXML document lays out the various objects in the class in a tree similar to tag nesting in XML documents.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Example:
|
||
|
|
```XML
|
||
|
|
<HBox spacing="10" alignment="bottom_right" > // Creates an HBox Object
|
||
|
|
<Button text="Sign In"/> // Nested inside the HBox is a Button object with the text 'Sign In'
|
||
|
|
</HBox>
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
### Gulon Scenic View
|
||
|
|
Scenic View is an application designed to show the current state of your JavaFX application. Scenic View enables you to debug the graphic elements in your application in real time, including changing various values.
