Class Bloom

java.lang.Object
javafx.scene.effect.Effect
javafx.scene.effect.Bloom
public class Bloom extends Effect
A high-level effect that makes brighter portions of the input image appear to glow, based on a configurable threshold.

Example: 

Bloom bloom = new Bloom();
bloom.setThreshold(0.1);

Rectangle rect = new Rectangle();
rect.setX(10);
rect.setY(10);
rect.setWidth(160);
rect.setHeight(80);
rect.setFill(Color.DARKSLATEBLUE);

Text text = new Text();
text.setText("Bloom!");
text.setFill(Color.ALICEBLUE);
text.setFont(Font.font(null, FontWeight.BOLD, 40));
text.setX(25);
text.setY(65);
text.setEffect(bloom);

The code above produces the following:
