Bloom class is a part of JavaFX. Bloom is a high-level effect that makes brighter portions of the input image appear to glow, based on a configurable threshold. Bloom class inherits Effect class.

Constructors of the class:

1. Bloom(): Creates a new Bloom Object .
2. Bloom(double t): Creates a new Bloom effect with a specified threshold.

Commonly Used Methods:

Below programs illustrate the use of Bloom class:

1. Java program to import an image and add bloom effect to it: In this program a FileInputStream is created and an image is taken as input from a file. Image named image is created using the input from the file input stream. From the image, an image view object is created and it is added to the VBox.The VBox is then added to the scene and the scene is added to the stage. A Bloom effect is created with a specified level passed as parameters and the effect is set to the image view using setEffect() function.

   
   

   
   
   

   // Java program to import an image // and add bloom effect to it import javafx.application.Application; import javafx.scene.Scene; import javafx.scene.control.*; import javafx.scene.layout.*; import javafx.stage.Stage; import javafx.scene.image.*; import javafx.scene.effect.*; import java.io.*; import javafx.event.ActionEvent; import javafx.event.EventHandler; import javafx.scene.Group;    public class bloom_1 extends Application {        // launch the application     public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception     {            // set title for the stage         stage.setTitle("Bloom Example");            // create a input stream         FileInputStream input = new FileInputStream("D:\\GFG.png");            // create a image         Image image = new Image(input);            // create a image View         ImageView imageview = new ImageView(image);            // create a bloom effect         Bloom bloom = new Bloom(0.9);            // set effect         imageview.setEffect(bloom);            // create a VBox         VBox vbox = new VBox(imageview);            // create a scene         Scene scene = new Scene(vbox, 200, 200);            // set the scene         stage.setScene(scene);            stage.show();     }        // Main Method     public static void main(String args[])     {            // launch the application         launch(args);     } }

2. Java program to import an image and set bloom effect to it, the Threshold value of the bloom effect can be controlled using a button: In this program an FileInputStream is created and an image is taken as input from a file. Image named image is created using the input from the file input stream. From the image, an image view object is created and it is added to the VBox.The VBox is then added to the scene and the scene is added to the stage. A Bloom effect is created with a specified level passed as parameters and the effect is set to the image view using setEffect() function. A Button named button is created which is used to increase the bloom of the image. The button is also added to the VBox. The bloom of the image is increased using the setThreshold() function. The events related to button is handled using EventHandler.
