title: Does JavaFX support hierarchical transformations of nested objects like Piccolo2D
body: <p>Piccolo2D has two significant advantages above Swing:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Each child can be shifted both in negative and positive
  directions of coordinates (Swing supports preliminary positive
  directions (and layout managers))</li>
  <li>Each component has associated affine transform and all it's
  children obey this transform. All parent path components' transform
  superpose to give final transform. In Swing some children components
  can ignore parent transform.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I regard this traits as "normal" and "essential" and the absence of these thing means that graphic library is invalid (like Swing).</p>
  
  <p>So, I wonder if <code>JavaFX</code>, which is proposed as improved alternative to Swing, contain essential traits above?</p>
