@jamie-purchase Instead of Google, try Ctrl+N in IDEA 🙂

[jamie-purchase]

ooh didn't know that was there 😄

[jamie-purchase]

thanks!

[edvin]

Hehe, np 🙂

[jamie-purchase]

but yeah that was probably the class i meant - but there's no tornadofx specific canvas that we can use instead was the question really

[edvin]

@jamie-purchase No, we don't reinvent the wheel. For the most part, TornadoFX are wrappers on top of JavaFX classes.

[jamie-purchase]

but there's nothing to add in this case, so there's no point creating unnecessary faff then, I take it

[jamie-purchase]

thanks

[edvin]

Yeah, and since Kotlin provides extension functions and extension properties, we most often go that route. TornadoFX was never meant to be a complete UI toolkit written from scratch, it was always meant as a convenience layer on top of JavaFX 🙂

[jamie-purchase]

ok, I don't feel like i'm working against the grain or missing out on anything by using the canvas stuff i love from Java then. thanks for the clarification

[edvin]

You're welcome 🙂
