Class Stop

java.lang.Object

javafx.scene.paint.Stop

public final class Stop
extends Object

Defines one element of the ramp of colors to use on a gradient. For more information see javafx.scene.paint.LinearGradient and javafx.scene.paint.RadialGradient.

Example:


 // object bounding box relative (proportional:true, default)
 Stop[] stops = { new Stop(0, Color.WHITE), new Stop(1, Color.BLACK)};
 LinearGradient lg = new LinearGradient(0, 0, 1, 0, true, CycleMethod.NO_CYCLE, stops);
 Rectangle r = new Rectangle();
 r.setFill(lg);

Since:: JavaFX 2.0

Constructor Details

Stop

public Stop(double offset, Color color)

Creates a new instance of Stop.

Parameters:: offset - Stop's position (ranging from 0 to 1; color - Stop's color

Method Details

getOffset

public final double getOffset()

Gets a number ranging from 0 to 1 that indicates where this gradient stop is placed. For linear gradients, the offset variable represents a location along the gradient vector. For radial gradients, it represents a percentage distance from the focus point to the edge of the outermost/largest circle.

Returns:: position of the Stop within the gradient (ranging from 0 to 1)

getColor

public final Color getColor()

Gets the color of the gradient at this offset.

Returns:: the color of the gradient at this offset

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

Overrides:: equals in class Object
Parameters:: obj - the reference object with which to compare.
Returns:: true if this object is equal to the obj argument; false otherwise.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns a hash code for this Stop object.

Overrides:: hashCode in class Object
Returns:: a hash code for this Stop object.

toString

public String toString()

Returns a string representation of this Stop object.

Overrides:: toString in class Object
Returns:: a string representation of this Stop object.
