JavaFX 27 · javafx.scene.effect.Shadow · APIdia, the JavaDoc alternative

An effect which creates a monochrome duplicate of an input with blurry edges. This effect is primarily used along with its default black color for purposes of combining it with the original to create a shadow. It can also be used with a light color and combined with an original to create a glow effect. The DropShadow effect is a utility effect which automatically combines this Shadow effect with an original graphic for ease of adding a shadow to an existing scene graph Node with a single effect.

Field Detail

blurType	back to summary
private ObjectProperty<BlurType> blurType The algorithm used to blur the shadow. Min: n/a Max: n/a Default: BlurType.THREE_PASS_BOX Identity: n/a Default Value THREE_PASS_BOX

blurType

back to summary

private ObjectProperty<BlurType> blurType

The algorithm used to blur the shadow.

      Min: n/a
      Max: n/a
  Default: BlurType.THREE_PASS_BOX
 Identity: n/a

Default Value: THREE_PASS_BOX

changeIsLocal	back to summary
private boolean changeIsLocal

color back to summary

color	back to summary
private ObjectProperty<Color> color The shadow `Color`. Min: n/a Max: n/a Default: Color.BLACK Identity: n/a Default Value BLACK

private ObjectProperty<Color> color

The shadow Color.

      Min: n/a
      Max: n/a
  Default: Color.BLACK
 Identity: n/a

Default Value: BLACK

height back to summary

height	back to summary
private DoubleProperty height The vertical size of the shadow blur kernel. This attribute controls the vertical size of the total area over which the shadow of a single pixel is distributed by the blur algorithm. Values less than `1.0` are not distributed beyond the original pixel and so have no blurring effect on the shadow. Min: 0.0 Max: 255.0 Default: 21.0 Identity: <1.0 Default Value 21.0

private DoubleProperty height

The vertical size of the shadow blur kernel. This attribute controls the vertical size of the total area over which the shadow of a single pixel is distributed by the blur algorithm. Values less than 1.0 are not distributed beyond the original pixel and so have no blurring effect on the shadow.

      Min:   0.0
      Max: 255.0
  Default:  21.0
 Identity:  <1.0

Default Value: 21.0

input back to summary

input	back to summary
private ObjectProperty<Effect> input The input for this `Effect`. If set to `null`, or left unspecified, a graphical image of the `Node` to which the `Effect` is attached will be used as the input. Default Value null

private ObjectProperty<Effect> input

The input for this Effect. If set to null, or left unspecified, a graphical image of the Node to which the Effect is attached will be used as the input.

Default Value: null

radius back to summary

radius	back to summary
private DoubleProperty radius The radius of the shadow blur kernel. This attribute controls the distance that the shadow is spread to each side of the source pixels. Setting the radius is equivalent to setting both the `width` and `height` attributes to a value of `(2 * radius + 1)`. Min: 0.0 Max: 127.0 Default: 10.0 Identity: 0.0 Default Value 10.0

private DoubleProperty radius

The radius of the shadow blur kernel. This attribute controls the distance that the shadow is spread to each side of the source pixels. Setting the radius is equivalent to setting both the width and height attributes to a value of (2 * radius + 1).

      Min:   0.0
      Max: 127.0
  Default:  10.0
 Identity:   0.0

Default Value: 10.0

width back to summary

width	back to summary
private DoubleProperty width The horizontal size of the shadow blur kernel. This attribute controls the horizontal size of the total area over which the shadow of a single pixel is distributed by the blur algorithm. Values less than `1.0` are not distributed beyond the original pixel and so have no blurring effect on the shadow. Min: 0.0 Max: 255.0 Default: 21.0 Identity: <1.0 Default Value 21.0
