Class PauseTransition

javafx.animation.PauseTransition

public final class PauseTransition extends Transition

This Transition executes an Animation.onFinished at the end of its duration.

Code Segment Example:

 
 import javafx.scene.shape.*;
 import javafx.animation.*;

 ...

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

     RotateTransition rt = new RotateTransition(Duration.millis(3000), rect);
     rt.setByAngle(180);
     rt.setCycleCount(4f);
     rt.setAutoReverse(true);
     SequentialTransition seqTransition = new SequentialTransition (
         new PauseTransition(Duration.millis(1000)), // wait a second
         rt
     );
     seqTransition.play();

 ...

Property Details

duration

public final ObjectProperty<Duration> durationProperty

The duration of this Transition.

It is not possible to change the duration of a running PauseTransition. If the value of duration is changed for a running PauseTransition, 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

interpolate

public 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
