Post Body

I'm making a minesweeper application, and I'm having trouble making my canvas (for the grid) stay centered in the window. I've made my canvas automatically resizable, so it takes up any available space if the window is resized while maintaining its aspect ratio (it can be either square or rectangular). I tried nesting a VBox inside an HBox but that didn't work. Any ideas? Seems like it should be a simple thing to implement...

Another idea I had was just keep a reference to the parent node's dimensions inside the canvas and change the draw logic based on that, but that seems too hacky.
