JavaFX时间轴控件

Question

I want to create a scrollable timeline controller with circles connected to a baseline filled with a number ( size of circle corresponding to containing number) and a trailing icon.

Since I am new to JavaFX i have no idea how to start. In Swing i would eg use JPanel and ovverride its onPaint() method to draw the circles, lines and icons...

In JavaFX I thought about using a horizontal ListView with custom ListCell , but i am not sure if the baseline is possible with it. So i am looking for ideas how to implementiert such a controll...

Try using a HBox wrapped inside a ScrollPane .

You can add elements to HBox using getChildren.add(node) . The elements will be automatically shown on the scene and the ScrollPane will adjust the ScrollBar for you.
