Class FillTransition

java.lang.Object

javafx.animation.Animation
- javafx.animation.Transition
- - javafx.animation.FillTransition

public final class FillTransition
extends Transition

This Transition creates an animation, that changes the filling of a shape over a duration. This is done by updating the fill variable of the shape at regular intervals.

It starts from the fromValue if provided else uses the shape 's fill value. (The stroke value has to be a Color in this case).

It stops at the toValue value.

Code Segment Example:

import javafx.scene.shape.*;
 import javafx.animation.transition.*;
 
 ...
 
     Rectangle rect = new Rectangle (100, 40, 100, 100);
     rect.setArcHeight(50);
     rect.setArcWidth(50);
 
     FillTransition ft = new FillTransition(Duration.millis(3000), rect, Color.RED, Color.BLUE);
     ft.setCycleCount(4);
     ft.setAutoReverse(true);
 
     ft.play();
 
 ...

Property Detail
- shape
```
public final ObjectProperty<Shape> shapeProperty
```
  The target shape of this FillTransition.
  It is not possible to change the target shape of a running FillTransition. If the value of shape is changed for a running FillTransition, the animation has to be stopped and started again to pick up the new value.
  
  See Also:
  
  getShape(), setShape(Shape)
- duration
```
public final ObjectProperty<Duration> durationProperty
```
  The duration of this FillTransition.
  It is not possible to change the duration of a running FillTransition. If the value of duration is changed for a running FillTransition, 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)
- fromValue
```
public final ObjectProperty<Color> fromValueProperty
```
  Specifies the start color value for this FillTransition.
  It is not possible to change fromValue of a running FillTransition. If the value of fromValue is changed for a running FillTransition, the animation has to be stopped and started again to pick up the new value.
  
  Default value:
  
  null
  
  See Also:

- toValue
```
public final ObjectProperty<Color> toValueProperty
```
  Specifies the stop color value for this FillTransition.
  It is not possible to change toValue of a running FillTransition. If the value of toValue is changed for a running FillTransition, the animation has to be stopped and started again to pick up the new value.

- interpolate
```
protected void interpolate(double frac)
```
  The method interpolate() has to be provided by implementations of Transition. While a Transition is running, this method is called in every frame. The parameter defines the current position with the animation. At the start, the fraction will be 0.0 and at the end it will be 1.0. How the parameter increases, depends on the interpolator, e.g. if the interpolator is Interpolator.LINEAR, the fraction will increase linear. This method must not be called by the user directly.
  
  Specified by:
  
  interpolate in class Transition
  
  Parameters:
  
  frac - The relative position
