Remove padding/margin from JavaFX Label

Question

Is there a way to remove the default space (padding/margin) that JavaFX label adds? I want to get rid of the space displayed between the black lines on the image below:

Answer 1

One of the more dynamic ways to do this is to use a Text instead of a Label and set the boundsType as VISUAL. This results in a Text without any padding on the any of the sides of the Text, irrespective of the font size.

Text text = new Text();
text.setBoundsType(TextBoundsType.VISUAL);
