Thank you Roger, your explanation was quite helpful. I had already tried using TabPanes for this, but was not working. After reading your explanation I tried to solve the issue and I did it, the problem was that the ImageView was inside a BoxPane, which was causing the ImageView not to expand to fill the window.

Again, thanks for your help!

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

I just want my components (ImageView or any other) to fill the entire window, what am I missing here?

Hello, I've been trying to get my components to fill the whole window of
my application but I haven't been able to, I've got a simple BoxPane

<ImageView image="@background.png" styles="{fill: true,
preserveAspectRatio: false}"/>

Do you actually want background.png to strech to fill the entire Window?
