As in the subject - how one can get width and height of the javafx.scene.text.Text control? This question refers to an example situation, where one want to create background for the Text in a form of javafx.scene.shape.Rectangle, whose size depends on the size of Text.

4`text.getBoundsInLocal().getWidth()` and `text.getBoundsInLocal().getHeight()` should do it. – James_D Jan 12 '16 at 18:49

Have you thought about using Label? This allows for backgrounds, and the size of the label depends on the text.

I'm using `Label` currently, but I'm curious about the possibility of getting values of parameters I've mentioned in my question. – bluevoxel Jan 12 '16 at 18:47

One thing to note is that if you are doing that before the component is visible, then the bounds may not be correct. I have had to handle it this way:
final Text text = new Text("This is my text");
text.applyCss();
//then get you height & width
