    copied!<p>I have a <code>GridPane</code> filled with 1-letter-labels.</p> <p>Here is an image:</p> <p><a href="http://s1.directupload.net/images/121010/xu8o79sr.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">image http://s1.directupload.net/images/121010/xu8o79sr.jpg</a></p> <p>Here is the code:</p> <pre><code>int charSpacing = 1; int charsInWidth = 28; int charsInHeight = 16; double charWidth = 15; double charHeight = 20; GridPane gp = new GridPane(); gp.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER); Label[] tmp = new Label[charsInHeight*charsInWidth]; String text = "W"; int currArrPos = 0; for(int y = 0; y &lt; charsInHeight; y++) { HBox hbox = new HBox(charSpacing); for(int x = 0; x &lt; charsInWidth; x++) { tmp[currArrPos] = new Label(text); tmp[currArrPos].setTextFill(Paint.valueOf("white")); tmp[currArrPos].setMinHeight(charHeight); tmp[currArrPos].setMinWidth(charWidth); tmp[currArrPos].setMaxHeight(charHeight); tmp[currArrPos].setMaxWidth(charWidth); tmp[currArrPos].setStyle("-fx-border-color: white;"); hbox.getChildren().add(tmp[currArrPos++]); if(x%2 == 0){ text = "I"; } else{ text = "W"; } } gp.add(hbox, 1, y); } guiDisplay.getChildren().add(gp); </code></pre> <p>How can I center the characters? </p> <p>I have put them in a <code>HBox</code> and gave them spacing. I tried to make the <code>textAlignment</code> of the label to <code>CENTER</code>, but that doesn't work of course. </p> <p>I tried this also:</p> <pre><code>gp.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER); </code></pre> <p>Has anybody an idea? Thanks!</p>
