javafx.scene.paint.RadialGradient

public final class RadialGradient extends Paint

The RadialGradient class provides a way to fill a shape with a circular radial color gradient pattern. The user may specify 2 or more gradient colors, and this paint will provide an interpolation between each color.

The user must specify the circle controlling the gradient pattern, which is defined by a center point and a radius. The user can also specify a separate focus point within that circle, which controls the location of the first color of the gradient. By default the focus is set to be the center of the circle.

The center and radius are specified relative to a unit square, unless the proportional variable is false. By default proportional is true, and the gradient will be scaled to fill whatever shape it is applied to. The focus point is always specified relative to the center point by an angle and a distance relative to the radius.

This paint will map the first color of the gradient to the focus point, and the last color to the perimeter of the circle, interpolating smoothly for any in-between colors specified by the user. Any line drawn from the focus point to the circumference will thus span all of the gradient colors.

The focus distance will be clamped to the range (-1, 1) so that the focus point is always strictly inside the circle.

The application provides an array of Stops specifying how to distribute the colors along the gradient. The Stop#offset variable must be the range 0.0 to 1.0 and act like keyframes along the gradient. They mark where the gradient should be exactly a particular color.

Method Details
- getFocusAngle
  
  public final double getFocusAngle()
  
  Defines the angle in degrees from the center of the gradient to the focus point to which the first color is mapped.
  
  Returns:
  
  the angle in degrees from the center of the gradient to the focus point to which the first color is mapped
- getFocusDistance
  
  public final double getFocusDistance()
  
  Defines the distance from the center of the gradient to the focus point to which the first color is mapped. A distance of 0.0 will be at the center of the gradient circle. A distance of 1.0 will be on the circumference of the gradient circle.
  
  Returns:
  
  the distance from the center of the gradient to the focus point to which the first color is mapped
- getCenterX
  
  public final double getCenterX()
  
  Defines the X coordinate of the center point of the circle defining the gradient. If proportional is true (the default), this value specifies a point on a unit square that will be scaled to match the size of the the shape that the gradient fills. The last color of the gradient is mapped to the perimeter of this circle.
  
  Default value:
  
  0.0
  
  Returns:
  
  the X coordinate of the center point of the circle defining the gradient
- getCenterY
  
  public final double getCenterY()
  
  Defines the X coordinate of the center point of the circle defining the gradient. If proportional is true (the default), this value specifies a point on a unit square that will be scaled to match the size of the the shape that the gradient fills. The last color of the gradient is mapped to the perimeter of this circle.
  
  Default value:
  
  0.0
  
  Returns:
  
  the X coordinate of the center point of the circle defining the gradient
- getRadius
  
  public final double getRadius()
  
  Specifies the radius of the circle defining the extents of the color gradient. If proportional is true (the default), this value specifies a size relative to unit square that will be scaled to match the size of the the shape that the gradient fills.
  
  Default value:
  
  1.0
  
  Returns:
  
  the radius of the circle defining the extents of the color gradient
- isProportional
  
  public final boolean isProportional()
  
  Indicates whether the center and radius values are proportional or absolute. If this flag is true, the center point and radius are defined in a coordinate space where coordinates in the range [0..1] are scaled to map onto the bounds of the shape that the gradient fills. If this flag is false, then the center coordinates and the radius are specified in the local coordinate system of the node.
  
  Default value:
  
  true
  
  Returns:
  
  true if the center and radius values are proportional, otherwise absolute
- getCycleMethod
  
  public final CycleMethod getCycleMethod()
  
  Defines the cycle method applied to the RadialGradient. One of: CycleMethod.NO_CYCLE, CycleMethod.REFLECT, or CycleMethod.REPEAT.
  
  Default value:
  
  NO_CYCLE
  
  Returns:
  
  the cycle method applied to this radial gradient
- getStops
  
  public final List<Stop> getStops()
  
  A sequence of 2 or more Stop values specifying how to distribute the colors along the gradient. These values must be in the range 0.0 to 1.0. They act like keyframes along the gradient: they mark where the gradient should be exactly a particular color.
  Each stop in the sequence must have an offset that is greater than the previous stop in the sequence.
  
  The list is unmodifiable and will throw UnsupportedOperationException on each modification attempt.
  
  Default value:
  
  empty
  
  Returns:
  
  the list of Stop values
- isOpaque
  
  public final boolean isOpaque()
  
  Gets whether this Paint is completely opaque. An opaque paint is one that has no alpha component in any of its colors. It may be possible for a Paint to be opaque and yet return false, if it cannot be easily determined whether the paint is actually opaque. For example, the ImagePattern may not be able to cheaply determine its opacity.
  
  Specified by:
  
  isOpaque in class Paint
  
  Returns:
  
  true if the Paint is opaque, false if it is not opaque or if it cannot be determined.

  Overrides:
  
  equals in class Object
  
  Parameters:

  Returns:
  
  a string representation of this RadialGradient object.
- valueOf
  
  public static RadialGradient valueOf(String value)
  Creates a radial gradient value from a string representation.
  The format of the string representation is based on JavaFX CSS specification for radial gradient which is
  radial-gradient([focus-angle <angle>, ]? [focus-distance <percentage>, ]? [center <point>, ]? radius [<length> | <percentage>], [[repeat | reflect],]? <color-stop>[, <color-stop>]+)
  where
  <point> = [ [ <length> <length> ] | [ <percentage> | <percentage> ] ] <color-stop> = [ <color> [ <percentage> | <length>]? ]
  
  Currently length can be only specified in px, the specification of unit can be omited. Format of color representation is the one used in Color.web(String color). The radial-gradient keyword can be omited. For additional information about the format of string representation, see the CSS Reference Guide.
  Examples:
  RadialGradient g = RadialGradient.valueOf("radial-gradient(center 100px 100px, radius 200px, red 0%, blue 30%, black 100%)"); RadialGradient g = RadialGradient.valueOf("center 100px 100px, radius 200px, red 0%, blue 30%, black 100%"); RadialGradient g = RadialGradient.valueOf("radial-gradient(center 50% 50%, radius 50%, cyan, violet 75%, magenta)"); RadialGradient g = RadialGradient.valueOf("center 50% 50%, radius 50%, cyan, violet 75%, magenta");
  Parameters:
  
  value - the string to convert
  
  Returns:
  
  a RadialGradient object holding the value represented by the string argument.
  
  Throws:
  
  NullPointerException - if the value is null
  
  IllegalArgumentException - if the value cannot be parsed
