The JavaFX implementation uses the same Application base class and main method as used in the previous examples. We will not use a separate method for creating the GUI, but instead place this code in the start method, as shown here:
public class PieChartSample extends Application {
public void start(Stage stage) {
Scene scene = new Scene(new Group());
stage.setTitle("Europian Country Population");
stage.setWidth(500);
stage.setHeight(500);
...
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
