JavaFX - How do you place a button in a circle without stacking and hiding the button

In the code given, a circle is created and a pane holds that circle. If I create a button called "OK" before I add my circle, the button gets hidden. Do i simply create and add the button AFTER I add my circle so that the button is not hidden? https://code.sololearn.com/cuW8GQlqHX7q/?ref=app

Yes the order of adding nodes makes a difference. Circle c = new Circle(); Button b = new Button(); pane.getChildren().addAll(c, b); -> button on the circle pane.getChildren().addAll(b, c); -> circle hides the button Btw: pane.getChildren().add(new Button("OK")); This seems not a good idea if you want to add functionality to this button (mouse events). Edit: to place the button you can use setLayoutX() and setLayoutY()
