Explanation of Solution

“VBox” Layout container:

  • “VBox” layout pane is used to display nodes in a vertical row.
  • Syntax: VBox vbox_Object = new VBox ();
  • Setting alignment for VBox pane: Setting alignment for “VBox” pane is done by using the function “setAlignmnet()”.

Padding:

  • In JavaFX, padding property is for managing the distance between the nodes and edges of the pane.
  • It is also a space that appears around the inside edge of the container.
  • Padding is done with the help of “setPadding ()” method.
    • This method carries an “Insets” object as the argument. At the time of constructing “Insets” object, a pixel value is passed as its argument.
      • The “Insets” class is in the package “javafx.geometry”.

Example: Consider padding is done for “VBox” pane with 20 pixels.

myVbox.setPadding(new Insets(20));

Here, “myVbox” references “VBox” container object.

Algorithm:

Step 1: Create an empty “VBox” container and name its object as “vbox”...
