Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants
Enum Constant	Description
`CENTERED`	The stroke is applied by thickening the boundary of the `Shape` node by a distance of half of the `strokeWidth` on either side of the boundary.
`INSIDE`	The stroke is applied by extending the boundary of a closed `Shape` node into its interior by a distance specified by the `strokeWidth`.
`OUTSIDE`	The stroke is applied by extending the boundary of a closed `Shape` node outside of its interior by a distance specified by the `strokeWidth`.

Method Summary

`static StrokeType`	`valueOf(String name)`	Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
`static StrokeType[]`	`values()`	Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Enum Constant Details

INSIDE

public static final StrokeType INSIDE

The stroke is applied by extending the boundary of a closed Shape node into its interior by a distance specified by the strokeWidth. Since the definition of INSIDE depends on the filled interior of the shape, this StrokeType is undefined for unclosed shapes.

The image shows a shape without stroke and the same shape with a thick inside stroke applied.

OUTSIDE

public static final StrokeType OUTSIDE

The stroke is applied by extending the boundary of a closed Shape node outside of its interior by a distance specified by the strokeWidth. Since the definition of OUTSIDE depends on the filled interior of the shape, this StrokeType is undefined for unclosed shapes.

The image shows a shape without stroke and the same shape with a thick outside stroke applied.

CENTERED

public static final StrokeType CENTERED

The stroke is applied by thickening the boundary of the Shape node by a distance of half of the strokeWidth on either side of the boundary. Since the definition of CENETERED is symmetric and agnostic as to the location of any interior of a shape, it can be used for either closed or unclosed shapes.

The image shows a shape without stroke and the same shape with a thick centered stroke applied.

Method Details

values

public static StrokeType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Returns:: an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static StrokeType valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:: name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
Returns:: the enum constant with the specified name
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name; NullPointerException - if the argument is null
