The javadocs discussing Bounding Rectangles for Node state: "The images show a filled and stroked rectangle and their bounds. The first rectangle [x:10.0 y:10.0 width:100.0 height:100.0 strokeWidth:0] has the following bounds bounds: [x:10.0 y:10.0 width:100.0 height:100.0]. The second rectangle [x:10.0 y:10.0 width:100.0 height:100.0 strokeWidth:5] has the following bounds: [x:5.0 y:5.0 width:110.0 height:110.0]. Since neither of the rectangles has any transformation applied, boundsInParent and boundsInLocal are the same."
But I think that is wrong, or at least incomplete and potentially misleading. Rectangle is a Shape so the StrokeType matters here and the default StrokeType is CENTERED. (Though when I drop one on the Scene in Scene Builder, it defaults to INSIDE, something that I think should be considered a SceneBuilder bug.) So by default the bounds would be only extending 2.5 on each side for a total width and height of 105 and x and y coordinates of 7.5. Scott
