JavaFX Effects - DropShadow
On applying this effect to a node, a shadow will be created behind the specified node.
The class named DropShadow of the package javafx.scene.effect represents the drop shadow effect. This class contains nine properties, which are −
color − This property is of Color type representing the color of the shadow.
blur type − This property is of the type − BlurType and it represents the type of the blur effect used to blur the shadow.
radius − This property is of the type double and it represents the radius of the shadow blur kernel.
width − This property is of the type double and it represents the width of the shadow blur kernel.
height − This property is of the type double and it represents the height of the shadow blur kernel.
input − This property is of the type Effect and it represents an input to the shadow effect.
spread − This property is of the type double; it represents the spread of the shadow.
offsetX − This property is of the type double and it represents the shadow offset in the x direction in pixels.
offset − This property is of the type double and it represents the shadow offset in the y direction in pixels.
Example
The following program is an example demonstrating the drop shadow effect of JavaFX. In here, we are drawing a text “Welcome to Tutorialspoint” and a circle in a scene.
To these, we are applying the drop shadow effect. Save this code in a file with the name DropShadowEffectExample.java.
import javafx.application.Application; import javafx.scene.Group; import javafx.scene.Scene; import javafx.scene.effect.BlurType; import javafx.scene.effect.DropShadow; import javafx.scene.paint.Color; import javafx.scene.shape.Circle; import javafx.stage.Stage; import javafx.scene.text.Font; import javafx.scene.text.FontWeight; import javafx.scene.text.Text; public class DropShadowEffectExample extends Application { @Override public void start(Stage stage) { //Creating a Text object Text text = new Text(); //Setting font to the text text.setFont(Font.font(null, FontWeight.BOLD, 40)); //setting the position of the text text.setX(60); text.setY(50); //Setting the text to be embedded. text.setText("Welcome to Tutorialspoint"); //Setting the color of the text text.setFill(Color.DARKSEAGREEN); //Drawing a Circle Circle circle = new Circle(); //Setting the centre of the circle circle.setCenterX(300.0f); circle.setCenterY(160.0f); //Setting the radius of the circle circle.setRadius(100.0f); //Instantiating the Shadow class DropShadow dropShadow = new DropShadow(); //setting the type of blur for the shadow dropShadow.setBlurType(BlurType.GAUSSIAN); //Setting color for the shadow dropShadow.setColor(Color.ROSYBROWN); //Setting the height of the shadow dropShadow.setHeight(5); //Setting the width of the shadow dropShadow.setWidth(5); //Setting the radius of the shadow dropShadow.setRadius(5); //setting the offset of the shadow dropShadow.setOffsetX(3); dropShadow.setOffsetY(2); //Setting the spread of the shadow dropShadow.setSpread(12); //Applying shadow effect to the text text.setEffect(dropShadow); //Applying shadow effect to the circle circle.setEffect(dropShadow); //Creating a Group object Group root = new Group(circle, text); //Creating a scene object Scene scene = new Scene(root, 600, 300); //Setting title to the Stage stage.setTitle("Drop Shadow effect 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 DropShadowEffectExample.java java DropShadowEffectExample
On executing, the above program generates a JavaFX window as shown below.
