Overview of this book

: JavaFX 10 is used to create media-rich client applications. This book takes you on a journey to use JavaFX 10 to build applications that display information in a high-performance, modern user interface featuring audio, video, graphics, and animation. Mastering JavaFX 10 begins by introducing you to the JavaFX API. You will understand the steps involved in setting up your development environment and build the necessary dependencies. This is followed by exploring how to work with the assets, modules, and APIs of JavaFX. This book is filled with practical examples to guide you through the major features of JavaFX 10. In addition to this, you will acquire a practical understanding of JavaFX custom animations, merging different application layers smoothly, and creating a user-friendly GUI with ease. By the end of the book, you will be able to create a complete, feature-rich Java graphical application using JavaFX.

Using the Interpolator API

By default, Timeline calculates how property values change between KeyFrame objects using a linear function—changing property values proportionally to the time passed.

You can control that more precisely using the Interpolator API.

Predefined interpolators

You can set interpolators when creating KeyValue:

new KeyValue(node.translateYProperty(), 200, Interpolator.LINEAR);

The default interpolator is Interpolator.LINEAR.

Visually, it looks like an abrupt stop at the end of the animation. To soften that, you can use one of the easing interpolators:

  • Interpolator.EASE_IN: Starts slowly
  • Interpolator.EASE_OUT: Ends slowly
  • Interpolator.EASE_BOTH: Starts and ends slowly

You can see them all at work...
