The javafx.scene.shape package provides classes using which you can draw various 2D shapes, but these are just primitive shapes like line, circle, polygon, and ellipse, etc… Therefore, if you want to draw complex custom shapes you need to use the Path class.The Path ClassThe Path class represents the geometrical outline of a shape using this class you can draw your custom path.To draw a custom path JavaFX provides various path elements and, all these are available as classes in the javafx.scene.shape package.LineTo − This is class represents the path element line. It helps you to draw a straight line from the ... Read More

In general, an arc is a small segment of a curve. In JavaFX it is represented by the javafx.scene.shape.Arc class. This class contains six properties they are −centerX − This property represents the x coordinate of the center of the arc. You can set the value to this property using the setCenterX() method.centerY − This property represents the y coordinate of the center of the arc. You can set the value to this property using the setCenterY() method.radiusX − This property represents the width of the full ellipse of which the current arc is a part of. You can set ... Read More

You can add an effect to any node object in JavaFX using the setEffect() method. This method accepts an object of the Effect class and adds it to the current node.javafx.scene.effect.GaussianBlur.GaussianBlur class represents a blur effect that internally uses Gaussian convolution kernel. Therefore, to add a blur effect to a text node −Instantiate the Text class bypassing basic the x, y coordinates (position) and text string as arguments to the constructor.Set desired properties like font, stoke, etc.Create a blur effect by instantiating the GaussianBlur class.Set the created effect to the text node using the setEffect() method.Finally, add the created text node to ...

For all the 2-Dimensional objects, you can set various properties.Stroke Type − The stroke type property specifies/defines the type of the boundary line of a shape. You can set the stroke type using the setStrokeType() method of the Shape class.JavaFX supports three kinds of strokes represented by three constants of the Enum named StrokeType namely, StrokeType.INSIDE, StrokeType.OUTSIDE, StrokeType.CENTERED.Stroke Width − The stroke width property specifies/defines the width of the boundary line of a shape. You can set the value to the width of the boundary using the setWidth() method of the Shape class.Fill − The fill property specifies/defines the color ... Read More

The JavaFX Application class has three life cycle methods, which are −start() − The entry point method where the JavaFX graphics code is to be written.stop() − An empty method which can be overridden, here you can write the logic to stop the application.init() − An empty method which can be overridden, but you cannot create a stage or scene in this method.In addition to these, it provides a static method named launch() to launch JavaFX application.Since the launch() method is static, you need to call it from a static context (main generally). Whenever a JavaFX application is launched, the ... Read More

In general, a JavaFX application will have three major components namely Stage, Scene and Nodes as shown in the following diagram.StageA stage (a window) contains all the objects of a JavaFX application. It is represented by Stage class of the package javafx.stage. You have to call the show() method to display the contents of a stage.Scene graphA scene graph is a data structure similar to a tree, in modern graphical applications, it is a collection of nodes. In a JavaFX application the javafx.scene.The scene class holds all the contents of a scene graph.While creating a scene it is mandatory to ... Read More
