[FIXED] JavaFX add margin to Rectangle shape

Issue

In the following layout, how can I add right margin for each rectangle. For example, is there any method that allows to add margin?

    @Override
    public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {

        HBox hBox = new HBox();
        Rectangle rect1 = new Rectangle(100, 100, Color.BLACK);
        Rectangle rect2 = new Rectangle(100, 100, Color.GREEN);
        Rectangle rect3 = new Rectangle(100, 100, Color.YELLOW);

        hBox.getChildren().addAll(rect1, rect2, rect3);
        Scene scene = new Scene(hBox, 500, 500);
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.show();

    }

Solution

As mentioned by @Phil Freihofner, you can set spacing using hBox.setSpacing() and margin using static method HBox.setMargin():

    Rectangle rect1 = new Rectangle(100, 100, Color.BLACK);
    Rectangle rect2 = new Rectangle(100, 100, Color.GREEN);
    Rectangle rect3 = new Rectangle(100, 100, Color.YELLOW);
    
    HBox hBox = new HBox(rect1, rect2, rect3);
    
    // Space between rectangles
    hBox.setSpacing(20);
    
    // Margins
    HBox.setMargin(rect1, new Insets(30, 0, 30, 30));
    HBox.setMargin(rect2, new Insets(30, 0, 30, 0));
    HBox.setMargin(rect3, new Insets(30, 30, 30, 0));

Output without setting spacing or margin:
