JavaFX and (Affine)Transforms

[Pedro Duque Vieira]

Problem is, in certain apps, I have one like that, you do not want so
separate the label from the other components on the scene graph, you just
want to make it readable.

It's a Billboard behavior, very used in 3D computer graphics, usually to
render sprites parallel to the camera but also useful in these cases.

Thanks,
