      • setTextAlign

        public void setTextAlign​(TextAlignment align)
        Defines horizontal text alignment, relative to the text x origin. The default value is LEFT. The text alignment is a text attribute used for any of the text methods as specified in the Rendering Attributes Table.

        Let horizontal bounds represent the logical width of a single line of text. Where each line of text has a separate horizontal bounds.

        Then TextAlignment is specified as:

        • Left: the left edge of the horizontal bounds will be at x.
        • Center: the center, halfway between left and right edge, of the horizontal bounds will be at x.
        • Right: the right edge of the horizontal bounds will be at x.

        Note: Canvas does not support line wrapping, therefore the text alignment Justify is identical to left aligned text.

        A null value will be ignored and the current value will remain unchanged.

        Parameters:
        align - TextAlignment with values of Left, Center, Right or null.

      • arcTo

        public void arcTo​(double x1,
                          double y1,
                          double x2,
                          double y2,
                          double radius)
        Adds segments to the current path to make an arc. The coordinates are transformed by the current transform as they are added to the path and unaffected by subsequent changes to the transform. The current path is a path attribute used for any of the path methods as specified in the Rendering Attributes Table and is not affected by the save() and restore() operations.

        If p0 is the current point in the path and p1 is the point specified by (x1, y1) and p2 is the point specified by (x2, y2), then the arc segments appended will be segments along the circumference of a circle of the specified radius touching and inscribed into the convex (interior) side of p0->p1->p2. The path will contain a line segment (if needed) to the tangent point between that circle and p0->p1 followed by circular arc segments to reach the tangent point between the circle and p1->p2 and will end with the current point at that tangent point (not at p2). Note that the radius and circularity of the arc segments will be measured or considered relative to the current transform, but the resulting segments that are computed from those untransformed points will then be transformed when they are added to the path. Since all computation is done in untransformed space, but the pre-existing path segments are all transformed, the ability to correctly perform the computation may implicitly depend on being able to inverse transform the current end of the current path back into untransformed coordinates.

        If there is no way to compute and inscribe the indicated circle for any reason then the entire operation will simply append segments to force a line to point p1. Possible reasons that the computation may fail include:

        • The current path is empty.
        • The segments p0->p1->p2 are colinear.
        • the current transform is non-invertible so that the current end point of the current path cannot be untransformed for computation.
        Parameters:
        x1 - the X coordinate of the first point of the arc.
        y1 - the Y coordinate of the first point of the arc.
        x2 - the X coordinate of the second point of the arc.
        y2 - the Y coordinate of the second point of the arc.
        radius - the radius of the arc in the range {0.0-positive infinity}.

      • getPixelWriter

        public PixelWriter getPixelWriter()
        Returns a PixelWriter object that can be used to modify the pixels of the Canvas associated with this GraphicsContext. All coordinates in the PixelWriter methods on the returned object will be in device space since they refer directly to pixels and no other rendering attributes will be applied when modifying pixels using this object.

        the PixelWriter for modifying the pixels of this Canvas
      • setEffect

        public void setEffect​(Effect e)
        Sets the effect to be applied after the next draw call, or null to disable effects. The current effect is a common attribute used for nearly all rendering operations as specified in the Rendering Attributes Table.
        Parameters:
        e - the effect to use, or null to disable effects
      • getEffect

        public Effect getEffect​(Effect e)
        Gets a copy of the effect to be applied after the next draw call. A null return value means that no effect will be applied after subsequent rendering calls. The current effect is a common attribute used for nearly all rendering operations as specified in the Rendering Attributes Table.
        Parameters:
        e - an Effect object that may be used to store the copy of the current effect, if it is of a compatible type
        Returns:
        the current effect used for all rendering calls, or null if there is no current effect
      • applyEffect

        public void applyEffect​(Effect e)
        Applies the given effect to the entire bounds of the canvas and stores the result back into the same canvas. A null value will be ignored. The effect will be applied without any other rendering attributes and under an Identity coordinate transform. Since the effect is applied to the entire bounds of the canvas, some effects may have a confusing result, such as a Reflection effect that will apply its reflection off of the bottom of the canvas even if only a portion of the canvas has been rendered to and will not be visible unless a negative offset is used to bring the reflection back into view.
        Parameters:
        e - the effect to apply onto the entire destination or null.
