[130:7] extends: Node, Control, Labeled, ToggleButton
The RadioButton class wraps the JavaFX RadioButton control, a circular
selection indicator typically used inside a ToggleGroup where only one
RadioButton in the group can be selected at a time. It extends ToggleButton,
inheriting the selected pseudo-class and armed behavior, while providing
the classic radio-button visual appearance. RadioButton adds no CSS
properties beyond those inherited from ToggleButton and Labeled.
