Class StrokeTransition

java.lang.Object
javafx.animation.Animation
javafx.animation.Transition
javafx.animation.StrokeTransition
public final class StrokeTransition extends Transition
This Transition creates an animation, that changes the stroke color of a shape over a duration. This is done by updating the stroke variable of the shape at regular intervals.

It starts from the fromValue if provided else uses the shape 's stroke value. (The stroke value has to be a Color in this case).

It stops at the toValue value.

Code Segment Example: 

 
 import javafx.scene.shape.*;
 import javafx.animation.*;

 ...

     Rectangle rect = new Rectangle (100, 40, 100, 100);
     rect.setArcHeight(50);
     rect.setArcWidth(50);
     rect.setFill(null);

     StrokeTransition st = new StrokeTransition(Duration.millis(3000), rect, Color.RED, Color.BLUE);
     st.setCycleCount(4);
     st.setAutoReverse(true);

     st.play();

  • Property Details

    • shape

      public final ObjectProperty<Shape> shapeProperty
      The target shape of this StrokeTransition.

      It is not possible to change the target shape of a running StrokeTransition. If the value of shape is changed for a running StrokeTransition, the animation has to be stopped and started again to pick up the new value.

      See Also:

    • duration

      public final ObjectProperty<Duration> durationProperty
      The duration of this StrokeTransition.

      It is not possible to change the duration of a running StrokeTransition. If the value of duration is changed for a running StrokeTransition, the animation has to be stopped and started again to pick up the new value.

      Note: While the unit of duration is a millisecond, the granularity depends on the underlying operating system and will in general be larger. For example animations on desktop systems usually run with a maximum of 60fps which gives a granularity of ~17 ms. Setting duration to value lower than Duration.ZERO will result in IllegalArgumentException.

      Default value:
      400ms
      See Also:

    • fromValue

      public final ObjectProperty<Color> fromValueProperty

      null
      See Also:

    • toValue

      public final ObjectProperty<Color> toValueProperty
      Specifies the stop color value for this StrokeTransition.

    • interpolate

      protected void interpolate(double frac)
      The method interpolate() has to be provided by implementations of Transition. While a Transition is running, this method is called in every frame. The parameter defines the current position with the animation. At the start, the fraction will be 0.0 and at the end it will be 1.0. How the parameter increases, depends on the interpolator, e.g. if the interpolator is Interpolator.LINEAR, the fraction will increase linear. This method must not be called by the user directly.
      Specified by:
      interpolate in class Transition
      Parameters:
      frac - The relative position
