JavaFX SepiaTone

Introduction

JavaFX includes the SepiaTone class. The SepiaTone class is used to provide a sepia tone effect to a picture, similar to that of an antique photograph. SepiaTone Effect basically changes the tone of the image to a reddish brown color.

The class javafx.scene.effect.SepiaTone in JavaFX represents the SepiaTone effect. To generate an appropriate impact, we simply need to instantiate this class.

Constructors

The SepiaTone class contains two constructors

1. public Sepiatone(): creates a new instance of SepiaTone class.
    
2. public Sepiatone(double level): Creates a new instance with a specified level value.

Properties

The table below describes the SepiaTone class properties as well as the setter methods.

Usage

This program serves as an example of the SepiaTone Effect in JavaFX. In this case, we are using the Image and ImageView classes to display an image of the Coding Ninjas logo in a JavaFX scene.

The Sepia Tone Effect has been applied to this image. Put this code in a file called SepiaToneEffectExample.java.

Implementation

import javafx.application.Application; 
import javafx.scene.Scene; 
import javafx.scene.Group; 
import javafx.scene.effect.SepiaTone; 
import javafx.scene.image.ImageView; 
import javafx.scene.image.Image; 
import javafx.stage.Stage;  


public class SepiaToneEffectExample extends Application { 
   @Override 
   public void start(Stage stage) {       
      //import the image
      Image image = new Image("D://CodingNinjas.png"); 
       
      //Setting the image view 
      ImageView imageView = new ImageView(image); 
      
      //Setting the position of the image  
      imageView.setX(150); 
      imageView.setY(0);
      
      //Instantiate the SepiaTone class 
      SepiaTone sepiaTone = new SepiaTone(); 
      
      //Set the level of the effect 
      sepiaTone.setLevel(0.8); 
      
      //Applying SepiaTone effect to the image 
      imageView.setEffect(sepiaTone);      
         
      //Creating a Group and scene object  
      Group root = new Group(imageView);
      Scene scene = new Scene(root, 600, 300);  
      
      //Setting title to the Stage 
      stage.setTitle("Sepia tone effect example"); 
         
      //Adding scene to the stage 
      stage.setScene(scene); 
         
      //Displaying the contents
      stage.show();         
   } 
   public static void main(String args[]){ 
      launch(args); 
   } 
}
