JavaFX Rotate Transition

JavaFX Properties

Constructors

• public RotateTransition(): This will create a new instance of Rotate Transition with the default parameters.
   
• public RotateTransition(Duration duration): This will create a new instance of Rotate Transition with the specified duration value.
   
• public RotateTransition(Duration, duration, Node node): This will create a new instance of Rotate Transition with the mentioned duration value and the Node on which it is applied.

Example

Code 

In the following example, we will make a rectangle rotating along the Z-axis by 180 degrees. 

package application;

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.animation.RotateTransition;  
import javafx.application.Application;  
import javafx.geometry.Point3D;  
import javafx.scene.Group;  
import javafx.scene.Scene;  
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;  
import javafx.scene.shape.Rectangle;  
import javafx.scene.transform.Rotate;  
import javafx.stage.Stage;  
import javafx.util.Duration;  
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane;


public class Main extends Application {
	@Override
	public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
	
		Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(200,100,200,200);  
        rect.setFill(Color.YELLOW);  
        rect.setStroke(Color.ORANGE);  
        rect.setStrokeWidth(5);  
          
        //Instantiating RotateTransition class   
        RotateTransition rotate = new RotateTransition();  
          
        //Setting Axis of rotation   
        rotate.setAxis(Rotate.Z_AXIS);  
          
        // setting the angle of rotation   
        rotate.setByAngle(180);  
          
        //setting cycle count of the rotation   
        rotate.setCycleCount(5000);  
          
        //Setting duration of the transition   
        rotate.setDuration(Duration.millis(10000));  
          
        //the transition will be auto reversed by setting this to true   
        rotate.setAutoReverse(true);  
              
        //setting Rectangle as the node onto which the transition will be applied  
        rotate.setNode(rect);  
          
        //playing the transition   
        rotate.play();  
          
        //Configuring Group and Scene   
        Group root = new Group();  
        root.getChildren().add(rect);  
        Scene scene = new Scene(root,600,400,Color.WHITE);  
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);  
        primaryStage.setTitle("Rotate Transition example");  
        primaryStage.show();  
           	
	}

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

Output

In this example, we have used Rotate Transition in JavaFX. We extended the Application class and generated one new class called Main. To provide implementation details, we also need to override the start method. This function generates a primaryStage object from a Stage object. A Group object is generated and then supplied to the Scene class object for the container to house a rotating Rectangle. 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the JAVAFX framework?

We extended the Application class and generated one new class called Main. To provide implementation details, we also need to override the start method. This function generates a primaryStage object from a Stage object. A Group object is generated and then supplied to the Scene class object for the container to house a rotating Rectangle.

How to deploy the JavaFX application?

The first JavaFx application needs to be deployed. Taking up the procedure: By selecting the JavaFX FXML application. There are three sectors in the IDE. The Java file This requires some Java code for the Main Application. The fxml file A user interface portion is defined in this FXML source file.

Why is JavaFX the best choice for building GUI applications?

Java developers can now create richly contented GUI apps efficiently. Adding features like Media, UI controls, Web, 2D, and 3D, etc., required the programmers to rely on various libraries to create Client-Side Applications with rich capabilities. All of these functionalities are part of the JavaFX library.
