Class BorderStroke

java.lang.Object

javafx.scene.layout.BorderStroke

public class BorderStroke
extends Object

Defines the stroke to use on a Border for styling a Region. The stroke is a vector-based rendering that outlines the border area. It can be inset (or outset) from the Region's edge, and the values of the stroke are taken into account when computing the Region's insets (for defining the content area). The stroke visuals are not used when any BorderImages are in use.

When applied to a Region with a defined shape, the border width and stroking information for the top is used, while the other attributes are ignored.

Since:: JavaFX 8.0

Constructor Details

BorderStroke

public BorderStroke(Paint stroke, BorderStrokeStyle style, CornerRadii radii, BorderWidths widths)

Creates a new BorderStroke.

Parameters:: stroke - The stroke to use for all sides. If null, defaults to Color.BLACK.; style - The style to use for all sides. If null, defaults to BorderStrokeStyle.NONE.; radii - The radii to use. If null, defaults to CornerRadii.EMPTY.; widths - The widths to use. If null, defaults to DEFAULT_WIDTHS.

BorderStroke

public BorderStroke(Paint stroke, BorderStrokeStyle style, CornerRadii radii, BorderWidths widths, Insets insets)

Creates a new BorderStroke.

Parameters:: stroke - The stroke to use for all sides. If null, defaults to Color.BLACK.; style - The style to use for all sides. If null, defaults to BorderStrokeStyle.NONE.; radii - The radii to use. If null, defaults to CornerRadii.EMPTY.; widths - The widths to use. If null, defaults to DEFAULT_WIDTHS.; insets - The insets indicating where to draw the border relative to the region edges. If null, defaults to Insets.EMPTY.

BorderStroke

public BorderStroke(Paint topStroke, Paint rightStroke, Paint bottomStroke, Paint leftStroke, BorderStrokeStyle topStyle, BorderStrokeStyle rightStyle, BorderStrokeStyle bottomStyle, BorderStrokeStyle leftStyle, CornerRadii radii, BorderWidths widths, Insets insets)

Creates a new BorderStroke, specifying all construction parameters.

Parameters:: topStroke - The fill to use on the top. If null, defaults to Color.BLACK.; rightStroke - The fill to use on the right.

getWidths

public final BorderWidths getWidths()

Defines the thickness of each side of the BorderStroke. This will never be null, and defaults to DEFAULT_WIDTHS.

Returns:: the thickness of each side of the BorderStroke

getInsets

public final Insets getInsets()
