Class RotateTransition


public final class RotateTransition
extends Transition
This Transition creates a rotation animation that spans its duration. This is done by updating the rotate variable of the node at regular interval. The angle value is specified in degrees.

It starts from the fromAngle if provided else uses the node's rotate value.

It stops at the toAngle value if provided else it will use start value plus byAngle.

The toAngle takes precedence if both toAngle and byAngle are specified.

Code Segment Example:

 
 import javafx.scene.shape.*;
 import javafx.animation.*;

 ...

     Rectangle rect = new Rectangle (100, 40, 100, 100);
     rect.setArcHeight(50);
     rect.setArcWidth(50);
     rect.setFill(Color.VIOLET);

     RotateTransition rt = new RotateTransition(Duration.millis(3000), rect);
     rt.setByAngle(180);
     rt.setCycleCount(4);
     rt.setAutoReverse(true);

     rt.play();

 ...

  • Property Details

    • node

      public final ObjectProperty<Node> nodeProperty
      The target node of this RotateTransition.

      It is not possible to change the target node of a running RotateTransition. If the value of node is changed for a running RotateTransition, the animation has to be stopped and started again to pick up the new value.

      See Also:
      getNode(), setNode(Node)
    • duration

      public final ObjectProperty<Duration> durationProperty
      The duration of this RotateTransition.

      It is not possible to change the duration of a running RotateTransition. If the value of duration is changed for a running RotateTransition, the animation has to be stopped and started again to pick up the new value.

      Note: While the unit of duration is a millisecond, the granularity depends on the underlying operating system and will in general be larger. For example animations on desktop systems usually run with a maximum of 60fps which gives a granularity of ~17 ms. Setting duration to value lower than Duration.ZERO will result in IllegalArgumentException.

      Default value:
      400ms
      See Also:
      getDuration(), setDuration(Duration)
    • axis

      public final ObjectProperty<Point3D> axisProperty
