More Transitions
Use the ParallelTransition class to run simultaneous transitions on a Node.
// Create a Node. Could be any kind.
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(50, 200, 100, 50);
// Create a Circle to use as our path Shape
Circle path = new Circle(300, 200, 100, Color.LIGHTBLUE);
// Create two Transitions
PathTransition pt = new PathTransition();
pt.setDuration(Duration.seconds(2));
pt.setPath(path);
RotateTransition rt = new RotateTransition();
rt.setDuration(Duration.seconds(2));
rt.setByAngle(-720);
// Add our transitions to a ParallelTransition
ParallelTransition groupTrans = new ParallelTransition();
groupTrans.getChildren().addAll(pt, rt); // Add path and rotate
groupTrans.setNode(rect); // Run on the rectangle
groupTrans.setCycleCount(2); // Run twice
...
groupTrans.play();
Use the SequentialTransition class to run transitions as a playlist.
// Create a Node. Could be any kind.
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(50, 200, 100, 50);
// Create a Circle to use as our path Shape
Circle path = new Circle(300, 200, 100, Color.LIGHTBLUE);
// Create two Transitions
PathTransition pt = new PathTransition();
pt.setDuration(Duration.seconds(2));
pt.setPath(path);
RotateTransition rt = new RotateTransition();
rt.setDuration(Duration.seconds(2));
rt.setByAngle(-720);
// Add our translations to a SequentialTransition
SequentialTransition groupTrans = new SequentialTransition();
groupTrans.getChildren().addAll(pt, rt); // Add path and rotate
groupTrans.setNode(rect); // Run on the rectangle
groupTrans.setCycleCount(2); // Run twice
...
groupTrans.play();
PauseTransitions are useful when added to a SequentialTransition because they can insert a pause in a playlist of transitions.
// Transition 1
PathTransition pt = new PathTransition();
pt.setDuration(Duration.seconds(2));
pt.setPath(path);
// Pause Transition
PauseTransitionpause = new PauseTransition(Duration.seconds(2));
// Transition 2
RotateTransition rt = new RotateTransition();
rt.setDuration(Duration.seconds(2));
rt.setByAngle(-720);
// Add our translations to a SequentialTransition
SequentialTransition groupTrans = new SequentialTransition();
groupTrans.getChildren().addAll(pt, pause, rt);
groupTrans.setNode(rect);
groupTrans.setCycleCount(2);
...
groupTrans.play();
