JavaFX - Pause Transition
Pause transition is a type of transition offered by JavaFX, which pauses the animation for a while before resuming another transition in a sequential order.
Multiple transitions can be applied on a JavaFX node in two ways: sequentially and parallelly. When applied sequentially, you can also pause the animation for a while before applying another transition. This helps in scenarios where you need to see the transitions applied in a more clear way.
Let us learn more about this transition further in this chapter.
Pause Transition
PauseTransition class belongs to the javafx.animation package and is used while applying multiple transitions on a JavaFX node in a sequential order. This class pauses the animation after each transition for a specified duration. All the transitions applied on the node are child transitions of this class that inherit its node property (only if their own node property is not specified).
Example
Following is the program which demonstrates Pause Transition in JavaFX. Save this code in a file with the name PauseTransitionExample.java.
import javafx.animation.PauseTransition; import javafx.animation.ScaleTransition; import javafx.animation.SequentialTransition; import javafx.animation.TranslateTransition; import javafx.application.Application; import static javafx.application.Application.launch; import javafx.scene.Group; import javafx.scene.Scene; import javafx.scene.paint.Color; import javafx.scene.shape.Circle; import javafx.stage.Stage; import javafx.util.Duration; public class PauseTransitionExample extends Application { @Override public void start(Stage stage) { //Drawing a Circle Circle circle = new Circle(); //Setting the position of the circle circle.setCenterX(150.0f); circle.setCenterY(135.0f); //Setting the radius of the circle circle.setRadius(50.0f); //Setting the color of the circle circle.setFill(Color.BROWN); //Setting the stroke width of the circle circle.setStrokeWidth(20); //Creating a Pause Transition PauseTransition pauseTransition = new PauseTransition(); //Setting the duration for the transition pauseTransition.setDuration(Duration.millis(1000)); //Creating Translate Transition TranslateTransition translateTransition = new TranslateTransition(); //Setting the duration for the transition translateTransition.setDuration(Duration.millis(1000)); //Setting the node of the transition translateTransition.setNode(circle); //Setting the value of the transition along the x axis translateTransition.setByX(300); //Setting the cycle count for the stroke translateTransition.setCycleCount(5); //Setting auto reverse value to true translateTransition.setAutoReverse(false); //Creating scale Transition ScaleTransition scaleTransition = new ScaleTransition(); //Setting the duration for the transition scaleTransition.setDuration(Duration.millis(1000)); //Setting the node for the transition scaleTransition.setNode(circle); //Setting the dimensions for scaling scaleTransition.setByY(1.5); scaleTransition.setByX(1.5); //Setting the cycle count for the translation scaleTransition.setCycleCount(5); //Setting auto reverse value to true scaleTransition.setAutoReverse(false); //Applying Sequential transition to the circle SequentialTransition sequentialTransition = new SequentialTransition( circle, translateTransition, pauseTransition, scaleTransition ); //Playing the animation sequentialTransition.play(); //Creating a Group object Group root = new Group(circle); //Creating a scene object Scene scene = new Scene(root, 600, 300); //Setting title to the Stage stage.setTitle("Pause transition 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 --module-path %PATH_TO_FX% --add-modules javafx.controls PauseTransitionExample.java java --module-path %PATH_TO_FX% --add-modules javafx.controls PauseTransitionExample
Output
On executing, the above program generates a JavaFX window as shown below.
