18.5 Managing the Stage Size of JavaFX Applications

When a JavaFX application is embedded in a web page, the application cannot control stage dimensions. Dimensions specified at packaging time are preferences only and can be overridden by the user, for example if the user has custom browser zoom settings. Also, the stage can be resized at any time by the user.

To provide a good user experience, be prepared for arbitrary stage sizes. Otherwise, the application might be cropped, or garbage could be painted in the unused area of the stage.
