JavaFX Box

Implementation

We’ll look at the program in which we’ll implement the JavaFX box object.

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.PerspectiveCamera;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.shape.Box;
import javafx.scene.paint.PhongMaterial;

public class BoxUI extends Application {  

    @Override  
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception 
    {
        // create a box
        Box box1 = new Box();  
        box1.setLayoutX(50);
        box1.setLayoutY(50);

        //Setting properties for the box 
        box1.setWidth(200);
        box1.setHeight(200);
        box1.setDepth(400);  

        // translate the box to a position
        box1.setTranslateX(200);
        box1.setTranslateZ(200);  
        box1.setTranslateY(200);
        PhongMaterial blueStuff = new PhongMaterial();

        //set the color
        blueStuff.setDiffuseColor(Color.YELLOW);
        box1.setMaterial(blueStuff);

        // create a perspective camera
        // to view the 3D shape of the container.
        PerspectiveCamera camera = new PerspectiveCamera();  
        camera.setTranslateY(100);
        camera.setTranslateX(100);  
        camera.setTranslateZ(50);  
          
         Group box = new Group();  
         box.getChildren().addAll(box1);
         box.getChildren().addAll();  

         // create a scene   
         Scene scene = new Scene(box,600,400);  
         scene.setCamera(camera);
         
         // set the scene
         primaryStage.setScene(scene);  

         //Setting title to the Stage 
         primaryStage.setTitle("Box Example"); 

         //displays the content 
         primaryStage.show();  
        }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Application.launch(args);
    }
}
