2D Shapes(Objects) - Union Operation
This operation takes two or more shapes as inputs and returns the area occupied by them combinedly as shown below.
You can perform union operation on the shapes using the method called union(). Since this is a static method, you should call it using the class name (Shape or its subclasses) as shown below.
Shape shape = Shape.subtract(circle1, circle2);
Example
Following is an example of the union operation. In here, we are drawing two circles and performing a union operation on them. Save this code in a file with the name unionExample.java.
import javafx.application.Application; import javafx.scene.Group; import javafx.scene.Scene; import javafx.scene.paint.Color; import javafx.stage.Stage; import javafx.scene.shape.Circle; import javafx.scene.shape.Shape; public class UnionExample extends Application { @Override public void start(Stage stage) { //Drawing Circle1 Circle circle1 = new Circle(); //Setting the position of the circle circle1.setCenterX(250.0f); circle1.setCenterY(135.0f); //Setting the radius of the circle circle1.setRadius(100.0f); //Setting the color of the circle circle1.setFill(Color.DARKSLATEBLUE); //Drawing Circle2 Circle circle2 = new Circle(); //Setting the position of the circle circle2.setCenterX(350.0f); circle2.setCenterY(135.0f); //Setting the radius of the circle circle2.setRadius(100.0f); //Setting the color of the circle circle2.setFill(Color.BLUE); //Performing union operation on the circle Shape shape = Shape.union(circle1, circle2); //Setting the fill color to the result shape.setFill(Color.DARKSLATEBLUE); //Creating a Group object Group root = new Group(shape); //Creating a scene object Scene scene = new Scene(root, 600, 300); //Setting title to the Stage stage.setTitle("Union Example"); //Adding scene to the stage stage.setScene(scene); //Displaying the contents of the stage stage.show(); } public static void main(String args[]){ launch(args); } }
Compile and execute the saved java file from the command prompt using the following commands.
javac UnionExample.java java UnionExample
On executing, the above program generates a JavaFX window displaying the following output −
