The Application class's ________ method is the main entry point for a JavaFx application.

In JavaFX, this component is commonly used as a GUI's root node.

A(n) ________ is a method that automatically executes when a specific event occurs.

Even if a variable will not reference a component in the GUI, it is necessary to precede the declaration by the @FMXL annotation.

This variable references the window that the GUI will be displayed in.

This is a special annotation that must precede any nonpublic field declaration or nonpublic method definition that is used by the FXML file.

This is a name that identifies a component in the FXML file and will also become a variable name that you can use later in the Java code that you will write to run the application.

This is an action that takes place within a program, such as the clicking of a button.

Although these are often displayed in groups, they are not usually grouped in a toggle group like RadioButtons are.

A ________ is a tree-like, hierarchical data structure that contains nodes.

In a scene graph, the root node and branch nodes can have children, but leaf nodes cannot.

As an alternative for manually typing the code for the controller class, Scene Builder can provide a sample "skeleton" for the controller class.

FXML uses tags to organize data, in a manner similar to the way that HTML uses tags to format text in a Web browser.

This is a graphical window or a system of graphical windows presented by an application for interaction with the user.

You can use this component to display images in an application's GUI.

In addition to accepting input from the keyboard, GUIs typically accept input from a mouse, or a touch screen.

You can use JavaFX to create standalone graphics applications that run on your local computer, applications that run from a remote server, or applications that are embedded in a Web page.

Oracle provides a free design tool named ________ that you can use to visually create a GUI.
