Noel Grandin commented on PIVOT-790:
------------------------------------
"Adding complexity" is not an argument against adding a new feature. All new
features add complexity.
The question is "is the complexity justified" and "is it the minimum necessary
complexity"
I think the complexity is justified and that it is minimised by adding the
feature to BoxPane, since BoxPane already
implements most of this logic - it really just needs some conditional checks to
decide how much width/height to work
with i.e. all of it, or just the minimum amount.
StackPane lays things out on top of each other, so it's not appropriate for
this case, and ScrollPane...... scrolls.

> Would like to have a FillPane that lays out its components to fill the
> available space both horizontally and vertically. It does have an
> orientation (like BoxPane) to specify the direction to lay things out but it
> always allows its children to fill up the space.
