JavaFX Reflection Effect

In general, Reflection can be defined as the change in the direction. JavaFX allows us to generate the reflection effect on any node. Reflection effect basically adds the reflection of the node to its bottom. It is represented by the class javafx.scene.effect.Reflection. We just need to instantiate this class in order to apply the appropriate effect to a node.

Properties

The properties of the class along with the setter methods are described in the following table.

Property	Description	Setter Methods
bottomOpacity	It is a double type property. It represents the opacity of the reflection at the bottom extreme.	setBottomOpacity(double value)
fraction	It is a double type property. It represents the fraction of the input that is to be displayed in the reflection.	setFraction(double value)
input	It is a object type property. It represents the input for the effect.	setInput(Effect value)
topOffset	It is a double type property. It represents the distance between the top and bottom of the reflection.	setTopOffset(Double value)
topOpacity	It represents the opacity of the reflection at the top of the input.	setTopOpacity(Double value)

Constructors

The class contains two constructors.

public Reflection() : Creates a new instance of Reflection with the default parameters
public Reflection(double topOffset, double fraction, double topOpacity, double bottomOpacity) : Creates a new instance of Reflection with the specified parameters

Example:

  package application;  import javafx.application.Application;  import javafx.scene.Group;  import javafx.scene.Scene;  import javafx.scene.effect.Reflection;  import javafx.scene.text.Font;  import javafx.scene.text.FontPosture;  import javafx.scene.text.FontWeight;  import javafx.scene.text.Text;  import javafx.stage.Stage;  public class ReflectionExample extends Application{    @Override  public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {  // TODO Auto-generated method stub  Text text = new Text();  text.setFont(Font.font(“calibri”,FontWeight.BLACK,FontPosture.REGULAR,20));  text.setText(“Welcome to Tutor Aspire”);  text.setX(90);  text.setY(90);  Reflection ref = new Reflection();  ref.setBottomOpacity(0.2);  ref.setFraction(12);  ref.setTopOffset(10);  ref.setTopOpacity(0.2);  text.setEffect(ref);  Group root = new Group();  Scene scene = new Scene(root,400,300);  root.getChildren().add(text);  primaryStage.setScene(scene);  primaryStage.setTitle(“Reflection Example”);  primaryStage.show();  }  public static void main(String[] args) {  launch(args);  }  }
