public class StyleConverter<F,T> extends Object
StyleConverter converts ParsedValue<F,T> from type F to type T. The CssMetaData API requires a StyleConverter which is used when computing a value for the StyleableProperty. There are a number of predefined converters which are accessible by the static methods of this class. F is the type of the parsed value and T is the converted type of the ParsedValueImpl. For example, a converter from String to Color would be declared

     public Color convert(ParsedValueImpl<String,Color> value, Font font)
