One common layout task that seems harder than necessary in JavaFX is to
temporarily remove a node from the scene graph, without having to actually
mess about with the parent container. In HTML you can do use #foo {
display: none; } to hide something temporarily. In JFX you have to remove
from the parent container's child nodes list, and then remember where it
was so it can be put back later.The visible property is nearly good enough except that it doesn't affect layout. Setting both visible and managed to false can sometimes work but seems indirect. Is there any appetite for a boolean display property that makes layout managers ignore/skip the child and also makes it invisible?
