JavaFX Tutorial - JavaFX Rectangle Ellipse








The JavaFX Shape classes defines common shapes such as lines, rectangles, circles, Arc, CubicCurve, Ellipse, and QuadCurve.

Drawing rectangles on the scene graph requires a width, height, and an (x, y) location for upper-left corner.

To draw a rectangle in JavaFX we can use the javafx.scene.shape.Rectangle class. 

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.shape.Rectangle;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
//  w  w  w  .  j a  v  a2s . c  o m
public class Main extends Application {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Application.launch(args);
    }
    
    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        primaryStage.setTitle("");
        Group root = new Group();
        Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250, Color.WHITE);
        

        Rectangle r = new Rectangle();
        r.setX(50);
        r.setY(50);
        r.setWidth(200);
        r.setHeight(100);
        
        root.getChildren().add(r); 
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();
    }
}

The code above generates the following result.

Rounded corner rectangle

The Rectangle class implements an arc width and arc height. And we can use those feature to draw rounded corner rectangle. 

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.shape.Rectangle;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
//from w w  w . ja v  a2s  .co  m
public class Main extends Application {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Application.launch(args);
  }

  @Override
  public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
    Group group = new Group();

    Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(20,20,200,200);
    
    rect.setArcHeight(15);
    rect.setArcWidth(15);

    rect.setStroke(Color.BLACK);
    group.getChildren().add(rect);
    
    Scene scene = new Scene(group, 300, 200);
    primaryStage.setScene(scene);
    primaryStage.show();
  }
}

The code above generates the following result.

Ellipse

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.effect.DropShadow;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.shape.Ellipse;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
/*from  w w  w .j a va2  s .c  o  m*/
public class Main extends Application {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Application.launch(args);
  }

  @Override
  public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
    primaryStage.setTitle("");
    Group root = new Group();
    Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250, Color.WHITE);

    Group g = new Group();

    DropShadow ds = new DropShadow();
    ds.setOffsetY(3.0);
    ds.setColor(Color.color(0.4, 0.4, 0.4));

    Ellipse ellipse = new Ellipse();
    ellipse.setCenterX(50.0f);
    ellipse.setCenterY(50.0f);
    ellipse.setRadiusX(50.0f);
    ellipse.setRadiusY(25.0f);
    ellipse.setEffect(ds);
      
    g.getChildren().add(ellipse);

    root.getChildren().add(g);
    primaryStage.setScene(scene);
    primaryStage.show();
  }
}

The code above generates the following result.
