clicking on an image with transparency

[Tom Eugelink]

PickOnBounds, yes, that was what I was looking for.

I found the SVG loader implementations as well, just wanted to confirm that it is not something JFX will be doing in the near future. We'll add an implementation to JFXtras then.

For these images I use PNGs with have some transparency in them and an onMouseClick event handler won't react on these transparent areas. So now I wrap the ImageView in a Pane and do the on-click on the pane. That works, but seems like a bit of overkill. Group won't do it.
