JavaFX overlay with ImageView

Replacing the Canvas with an ImageView from my previous post was easy.

    public static void main(String[] args) {

The only thing to point out is that the event handler creates a new ImageView each time. Besides the fact that this can be optimized, it is important that the new image view replaces the old one.
