public class InfoOverlay
extends Control

A simple UI control that allows for an information popup to be displayed over a node to describe it in further detail. In some ways, it can be thought of as a always visible tooltip (although by default it is collapsed so only the first line is shown - clicking on it will expand it to show all text).

Shown below is a screenshot of the InfoOverlay control in both its collapsed and expanded states:

Property Summary

Type	Property and Description
ObjectProperty<Node>	content Specifies the arbitrarily complex scenegraph over which the text will be displayed.
BooleanProperty	showOnHover Specifies whether to show the overlay on hover of the content node (and to hide it again when the content is no longer being hovered).
StringProperty	text Specifies the text to display over top of the content.
