Class Inheritance
Imports
javafx.beans.property.DoubleProperty, .ObjectProperty, .ObjectPropertyBase, .SimpleDoubleProperty, .SimpleObjectProperty, javafx.geometry.Point3D, javafx.scene.Node, javafx.util.Duration
This Transition creates a rotation animation that spans its duration. This is done by updating the rotate variable of the node at regular intervals. The angle value is specified in degrees.

It starts from the fromAngle if provided else uses the node's rotate value.

It stops at the toAngle value if provided else it will use start value plus byAngle.

The toAngle takes precedence if both toAngle and byAngle are specified.

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(4);
    rt.setAutoReverse(true);

    rt.play();

Field Detail

axisback to summary
private ObjectProperty<Point3D> axis

Specifies the axis of rotation for this RotateTransition. Use node.rotationAxis for axis of rotation if this axis is null.

It is not possible to change the axis of a running RotateTransition. If the value of axis is changed for a running RotateTransition, the animation has to be stopped and started again to pick up the new value.

Default Value
null
byAngleback to summary
private DoubleProperty byAngle

Specifies the incremented stop angle value, from the start, of this RotateTransition.

It is not possible to change byAngle of a running RotateTransition. If the value of byAngle is changed for a running RotateTransition, the animation has to be stopped and started again to pick up the new value.

durationback to summary
private ObjectProperty<Duration> duration

The duration of this RotateTransition.

It is not possible to change the duration of a running RotateTransition. If the value of duration is changed for a running RotateTransition, 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
EPSILONback to summary
private static final double EPSILON

Hides javafx.animation.Animation.EPSILON.

fromAngleback to summary
private DoubleProperty fromAngle

Specifies the start angle value for this RotateTransition.

It is not possible to change fromAngle of a running RotateTransition. If the value of fromAngle is changed for a running RotateTransition, the animation has to be stopped and started again to pick up the new value.

Default Value
Double.NaN
nodeback to summary
private ObjectProperty<Node> node

The target node of this RotateTransition.

It is not possible to change the target node of a running RotateTransition. If the value of node is changed for a running RotateTransition, the animation has to be stopped and started again to pick up the new value.

startback to summary
private double start
toAngleback to summary
private DoubleProperty toAngle

Specifies the stop angle value for this RotateTransition.

It is not possible to change toAngle of a running RotateTransition. If the value of toAngle is changed for a running RotateTransition, the animation has to be stopped and started again to pick up the new value.

Default Value
Double.NaN

protected void interpolate(double frac)

Implements abstract javafx.animation.Transition.interpolate.

Doc from javafx.animation.Transition.interpolate.

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.

Parameters
frac:double

The relative position
