import javafx.scene.paint.*;
import javafx.scene.effect.*;

Group {
    content: [
        Rectangle {
            x: 0 y: 0 width: 180 height: 100
            fill: LinearGradient {
                startX: 0.0 startY: 0.0 endX: 0.25 endY: 0.25
                cycleMethod: CycleMethod.REFLECT
                stops: [
                    Stop { offset: 0.0 color: Color.RED },
                    Stop { offset: 1.0 color: Color.YELLOW }
                ]
            }
        },
        Text {
            effect: Blend {
                mode: BlendMode.SRC_OUT
                topInput: Flood {
                    paint: Color.BLUE
                    x: 10 y: 10
                    width: 160 height: 80
                }
            }
            x: 25 y: 65
            content: "SrcOut"
            fill: Color.BLUE
