Class Reflection

java.lang.Object
javafx.scene.effect.Effect
javafx.scene.effect.Reflection
public class Reflection extends Effect
An effect that renders a reflected version of the input below the actual input content.

Note that the reflection of a Node with a Reflection effect installed will not respond to mouse events or the containment methods on the Node.

Example: 


 Reflection reflection = new Reflection();
 reflection.setFraction(0.7);

 Text text = new Text();
 text.setX(10.0);
 text.setY(50.0);
 text.setCache(true);
 text.setText("Reflections on JavaFX...");
 text.setFill(Color.web("0x3b596d"));
 text.setFont(Font.font(null, FontWeight.BOLD, 40));
 text.setEffect(reflection);

The code above produces the following:
