JavaFX - Stroke Transition
We have learned that the fill transition is used to change the colors of a shape area. Similar to it, the stroke transition is used to change the stroke color of a shape.
A shape in JavaFX can consist of three types of strokes: inside, outside and centered; with different properties applied to it. This transition is ignorant to the property of a stroke and instead just changes its color over a course of duration specified.
Stroke Transition
JavaFX offers stroke transition using the StrokeTransition class which belongs to the javafx.animation package. By importing this class, we can change the stroke color of any shape on a JavaFX application. To implement this animation, there are various properties this class provides −
duration − The duration of this StrokeTransition.
shape − The target shape of this StrokeTransition.
fromValue − Specifies the start color value for this StrokeTransition.
toValue − Specifies the stop color value for this StrokeTransition.
Example
Following is the program which demonstrates Stoke Transition in JavaFX. Save this code in a file with the name StrokeTransitionExample.java.
import javafx.animation.StrokeTransition; import javafx.application.Application; 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 StrokeTransitionExample extends Application { @Override public void start(Stage stage) { //Drawing a Circle Circle circle = new Circle(); //Setting the position of the circle circle.setCenterX(300.0f); circle.setCenterY(135.0f); //Setting the radius of the circle circle.setRadius(100.0f); //Setting the color of the circle circle.setFill(Color.BROWN); //Setting the stroke width of the circle circle.setStrokeWidth(20); //creating stroke transition StrokeTransition strokeTransition = new StrokeTransition(); //Setting the duration of the transition strokeTransition.setDuration(Duration.millis(1000)); //Setting the shape for the transition strokeTransition.setShape(circle); //Setting the fromValue property of the transition (color) strokeTransition.setFromValue(Color.BLACK); //Setting the toValue property of the transition (color) strokeTransition.setToValue(Color.BROWN); //Setting the cycle count for the transition strokeTransition.setCycleCount(50); //Setting auto reverse value to false strokeTransition.setAutoReverse(false); //Playing the animation strokeTransition.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("Stroke 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 StrokeTransitionExample.java java --module-path %PATH_TO_FX% --add-modules javafx.controls StrokeTransitionExample
Output
On executing, the above program generates a JavaFX window as shown below.
