Class SequentialTransition

javafx.animation.SequentialTransition

public final class SequentialTransition
extends Transition

This Transition plays a list of Animations in sequential order.

Children of this Transition inherit node, if their node property is not specified.

Code Segment Example:

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

     final Duration SEC_2 = Duration.millis(2000);
     final Duration SEC_3 = Duration.millis(3000);

     PauseTransition pt = new PauseTransition(Duration.millis(1000));
     FadeTransition ft = new FadeTransition(SEC_3);
     ft.setFromValue(1.0f);
     ft.setToValue(0.3f);
     ft.setCycleCount(2f);
     ft.setAutoReverse(true);
     TranslateTransition tt = new TranslateTransition(SEC_2);
     tt.setFromX(-100f);
     tt.setToX(100f);
     tt.setCycleCount(2f);
     tt.setAutoReverse(true);
     RotateTransition rt = new RotateTransition(SEC_3);
     rt.setByAngle(180f);
     rt.setCycleCount(4f);
     rt.setAutoReverse(true);
     ScaleTransition st = new ScaleTransition(SEC_2);
     st.setByX(1.5f);
     st.setByY(1.5f);
     st.setCycleCount(2f);
     st.setAutoReverse(true);

     SequentialTransition seqT = new SequentialTransition (rect, pt, ft, tt, rt, st);
     seqT.play();

Property Details

node

public final ObjectProperty<Node> nodeProperty

This Node is used in all child Transitions, that do not define a target Node themselves. This can be used if a number of Transitions should be applied to a single Node.

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

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

Constructor Details

SequentialTransition

public SequentialTransition(Node node, Animation... children)

The constructor of SequentialTransition.

Parameters:: node - The target Node to be used in child Transitions that have no Node specified themselves; children - The child Animations of this SequentialTransition

SequentialTransition

public SequentialTransition(Animation... children)

The constructor of SequentialTransition.

Parameters:: children - The child Animations of this SequentialTransition

SequentialTransition

public SequentialTransition(Node node)

The constructor of SequentialTransition.

Parameters:: node - The target Node to be used in child Transitions that have no Node specified themselves

SequentialTransition

public SequentialTransition()

The constructor of SequentialTransition.

Method Details

setNode

public final void setNode(Node value)

Sets the value of the property node.

Property description:: This Node is used in all child Transitions, that do not define a target Node themselves. This can be used if a number of Transitions should be applied to a single Node.
It is not possible to change the target node of a running Transition. If the value of node is changed for a running Transition, the animation has to be stopped and started again to pick up the new value.

getNode

public final Node getNode()

Gets the value of the property node.

Property description:: This Node is used in all child Transitions, that do not define a target Node themselves. This can be used if a number of Transitions should be applied to a single Node.
It is not possible to change the target node of a running Transition. If the value of node is changed for a running Transition, the animation has to be stopped and started again to pick up the new value.

nodeProperty

public final ObjectProperty<Node> nodeProperty()

This Node is used in all child Transitions, that do not define a target Node themselves. This can be used if a number of Transitions should be applied to a single Node.

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

getChildren

public final ObservableList<Animation> getChildren()

A list of Animations that will be played sequentially.

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

Returns:: a list of Animations that will be played sequentially
