I am creating a 2d canvas and want to integrate several “views”, and I need to have a compatability with JavaFX. However it seems that jfx panels do not respect composables’ parameters, such as zoom or zIndex. Offset and size are respected though. In the example below I have a WebView as example but I assume other JPanels will behave the same

I think that’s by design. Swing components are placed and sized correctly, but that’s about it.

Whatever goes on inside them is pure Swing.

So the zIndex parameter of Modifier has nothing todo with Swing’s Components zOrder?

It can also be that the WebView is a heavyweight component which might need calling setMixingCutoutShape on other lightweight Swing components.
