Hi Edgar,
Have you looked at the ComponentExplorer demo? It is very useful for
seeing some of these things. It is located at:
http://pivot.apache.org/demos/component-explorer.html
But, in short, a BoxPane, generally speaking, takes on the dimensions
of its children. It is usually a container used to line up components along a
vertical or horizontal axis. But, if you set the "fill" style to "true", then
it will try to fill up the opposite direction of its axis. So, a horizontal
BoxPane will fill the entire space vertically, and a vertical one will fill the
entire space horizontally. If you want to fill in both dimensions, then either
a GridPane with one cell or a TablePane with widths and/or heights of "1*" will
fill up the entire space in either or both dimensions. You can see you to use
these from the Tutorial pages starting here: http://pivot.apache.org/tutorials/
Hope that helps,
~Roger Whitcomb
