How to set javafx button Icon using shape?

I want to set my button icon using some geometry shapes, such as circle, square, etc.

I also want to set it in FXML something like:

<Button .....>
  <graphics>
    <group>
      <shape>
      ......
      </shape>
    </group>
  </graphics>
</Button>

Is it possible? I do know how to load image icon into ImageView then setGraphic.

TIA

The graphic in a button can be any Node. A Shape such as a Circle is a Node.

So just set the button graphic to the shape. You can even put many shapes in a container such as a VBox or StackPane and set the button's graphic to the container so the graphic consists of many shapes.

Here is a sample FXML file you can copy and paste and load up in SceneBuilder 2.

<?import javafx.geometry.Insets?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.Button?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.shape.*?>
