Overview

This Transition creates a fade effect animation that spans its duration. This is done by updating the opacity variable of the node at regular interval.

It starts from the fromValue if provided else uses the node's opacity value.

It stops at the toValue value if provided else it will use start value plus byValue.

The toValue takes precedence if both toValue and byValue are specified.

Code Segment Example:


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

...

    var node = Rectangle {
        x: 100 y: 40
        height: 100 width:  100
        arcHeight: 50 arcWidth: 50
        fill: Color.VIOLET
    }

    var fadeTransition = FadeTransition {
        duration: 3s node: node 
        fromValue: 1.0 toValue: 0.3
        repeatCount:4 autoReverse: true
    }
    fadeTransition.play();

Variable Summary

access	name	type	Default Value	description
public	byValue	Number	Transition.UNDEFINED	Specifies the incremented stop opacity value, from the start, of this `Transition`.
public	fromValue	Number	Transition.UNDEFINED	Specifies the start opacity value for this `Transition`.
public	toValue	Number	Transition.UNDEFINED	Specifies the stop opacity value for this `Transition`.

Inherited Variables

javafx.animation.transition.Transition

access	name	type	Can Read	Can Init	Can Write	Default Value	description
public	action	function():Void				null	The action to be executed at the end of this `duration`.
public	autoReverse	Boolean				false	Defines whether this `Transition` reverses direction on alternating cycles. Defines whether this `Transition` reverses direction on alternating cycles. If `true`, the transition will proceed forward on the first cycle, then reverses on the second cycle, and so on. The default value is `false`, indicating that the transition will loop such that each cycle proceeds forward from the initial KeyFrame. false Profile: common
public-read	currentRate	Number					Defines the current direction/rate at which the transition is being played. Defines the current direction/rate at which the transition is being played. Rate `1.0` is normal play, and `-1.0` is backwards. Profile: common
public	duration	Duration				0	The length of this `Transition`, in milliseconds. The length of this `Transition`, in milliseconds. This may only be changed prior to starting the transition or after the transition has ended. 0 Profile: common
public	interpolate	Interpolator				EASEBOTH	Controls the timing for acceleration and deceleration at each transition cycle. Controls the timing for acceleration and deceleration at each transition cycle. This may only be changed prior to starting the transition or after the transition has ended. Default interpolator is set to Interpolator#EASEBOTH. EASEBOTH Profile: common
public	node	Node				null	The target node of this `Transition`.
protected	parent	Transition	subclass	subclass	subclass	null	The parent of this `Transition`. The parent of this `Transition`. If this transition has not been added to another transition, such as ParallelTransition and SequentialTransition, then parent will be null. null Profile: common
public-read	paused	Boolean					Read-only var that indicates whether this `Transition` is currently paused. Read-only var that indicates whether this `Transition` is currently paused. This value is initially `false`. It will become `true` after pause() has been called on a running transition, and then becomes `false` again after an explicit call to play(), playFromStart() or stop(). Note that running will remain `true` even when `paused==true`. Profile: common
public	rate	Number				1.0	Defines the direction/rate at which the transition is being played. Defines the direction/rate at which the transition is being played. Rate `1.0` is normal play, and `-1.0` is backwards. 1.0 Profile: common
public	repeatCount	Number				1.0	Defines the number of cycles in this transition. Defines the number of cycles in this transition. The `repeatCount` may be `INDEFINITE` for transition that repeat indefinitely, but must otherwise be >= 0. The default value is 1. 1.0 Profile: common
public-read	running	Boolean					Read-only var that indicates whether this `Transition` is currently running. Read-only var that indicates whether this `Transition` is currently running. This value is initially `false`. It will become `true` after start() has been called, and then becomes `false` again after the transition ends naturally, or after an explicit call to stop(). Note that `running` will remain `true` even when `paused==true`. Profile: common
public	time	Duration				0	Defines the reference elapsed time offset within the Timeline. Defines the reference elapsed time offset within the Timeline. If timeline is running, it jumps to this time position immediately. If not running, then it will set the current time position to this value and start from here next time play() is called. 0 Profile: common
protected	timeline	Timeline	subclass	subclass	subclass		An internal Timeline that get created at the creation of this `Transition`. An internal Timeline that get created at the creation of this `Transition`. It is used to control to the transition operations, such as play() and pause(). Profile: common
protected	timelineDirty	Boolean	subclass	subclass	subclass	true	A Boolean value to indicate, to the subclass, its internal `timeline` need to be rebuilt. A Boolean value to indicate, to the subclass, its internal `timeline` need to be rebuilt. It is the subclass responsibility to set this value to `false` once the `timeline` is rebuilt. true Profile: common
protected	UNDEFINED	Number	subclass				A Number value which do not map to a valid value for use in animation of `node`. A Number value which do not map to a valid value for use in animation of `node`. This value is used to indicate a Number variable is not initialized or manipulated by a user program.

Function Summary

public play() : Void: Starts or resumes this Transition.

Starts or resumes this Transition. It is a no-op if already running. See Timeline#play() for details.

Profile: common
 
public playFromStart() : Void: A convenient function.

A convenient function. It plays this Transition from initial position in forward direction. See Timeline#playFromStart() for details.

Profile: common

protected getTargetNode() : Node

Returns the target Node for animation of this Transition.

Returns the target Node for animation of this Transition. This method returns node if it is set, else returns its parent.getTargetNode() otherwise null.
