Commonly used methods
method |
explanation |
getDepth() |
get the depth of the box. |
getWidth() |
get the width of the box. |
getHeight() |
get the height of the box |
setHeight(double v) |
set the height of the box |
setWidth(double v) |
set the width of the box |
setDepth(double v) |
set the depth of the box |
The following programs will illustrate the use of Box class.
Java program to create a box and display it on the stage
This program creates a Box indicated by the name box( the height, width and depth is passed as arguments). The Box will be created inside a scene, which in turn will be hosted inside a stage. The function setTitle() is used to provide title to the stage. Then a Group is created, and the box is attached.The group is attached to the scene. Finally, the show() method is called to display the final results.
Java
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.shape.DrawMode;
import javafx.scene.layout.*;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.scene.shape.Box;
import javafx.scene.control.*;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.scene.Group;
public class box_0 extends Application {
public void start(Stage stage)
{
stage.setTitle( "creating box" );
Box box = new Box( 200 .0f, 120 .0f, 150 .0f);
Group group = new Group(box);
box.setTranslateX( 100 );
box.setTranslateY( 100 );
Scene scene = new Scene(group, 500 , 300 );
stage.setScene(scene);
stage.show();
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
launch(args);
}
}
