API Reference
[33:7] extends: Node
Wraps JavaFX Canvas, an image surface that supports direct drawing via a GraphicsContext. Unlike scene graph nodes, drawing operations are immediate and do not create child nodes. Call getGraphicsContext() to obtain the drawing API. Canvas has no class-specific CSS properties beyond those inherited from Node.
