Overview

The JavaFX Scene class is the root for all content in a scene graph. The background of the scene is filled as specified by the fill variable. The set of Nodes in the content sequence is then rendered on the scene.

For example:

the code:

import javafx.scene.*;
import javafx.scene.paint.*;
import javafx.scene.shape.*;

Scene {
    width: 250
    height: 150
    fill: LinearGradient {
        endX: 0.0
        stops: [ Stop { offset: 0.0 color: Color.LIGHTGRAY }
                 Stop { offset: 1.0 color: Color.GRAY } ]
    }
    content: [
        Circle { centerX: 40 centerY: 50 radius: 25 fill: Color.GREEN }
        Rectangle { x: 100 y: 25 width: 75 height: 50 fill: Color.BLUE }
    ]
}

Variable Summary

access	name	type	Default Value	description
public	camera	Camera	null	Specifies the type of camera use for rendering this `Scene`. Specifies the type of camera use for rendering this `Scene`. If `camera` is null, a parallel camera is used for rendering. Note: this is a conditional feature. See ConditionalFeature.SCENE3D for more information. null Profile: common conditional scene3d
public	content	Node[]	empty	The sequence of `Node`s to be rendered on this `Scene`.
public	cursor	Cursor	null	Defines the mouse cursor for this `Scene`. Defines the mouse cursor for this `Scene`. If null, then the default system cursor will be used. null Profile: common
public	fill	Paint	WHITE	Defines the background fill of this `Scene`. Defines the background fill of this `Scene`. Both a `null` value meaning paint no background and a javafx.scene.paint.Paint with transparency are supported, but what is painted behind it will depend on the platform. The default value is the color white. WHITE Profile: common
public-init	height	Number		The height of this `Scene`
public-read	stage	Stage		The `Stage` for this `Scene`
public	stylesheets	String[]		A series string urls linking to the stylesheets to use with this scene's contents.
public-init	width	Number		The width of this `Scene`
public-read	x	Number		The horizontal location of this `Scene` on the `Stage`.
public-read	y	Number		The vertical location of this `Scene` on the `Stage`.

Function Summary

public lookup(id: java.lang.String) : Node

Looks for any node within the scene's content hierarchy with the specified id.

Looks for any node within the scene's content hierarchy with the specified id. If more than one node has the specified id, this function returns one of them. Which node it returns in that case is unspecified. If no nodes are found with this id, then null is returned. Note that the lookup function will not descend into the children of a CustomNode. A CustomNode provides a means of encapsulation for objects whose details are not exposed to the application scene graph.

id: the id to look up

Node: the Node in the scene with the specified id, or null if no node with that id string is found.
