JavaFX | HLineTo Class

HLineTo class is a part of JavaFX. HLineTo class creates a Horizontal line from the present position to specified x coordinate. HLineTo class inherits PathElement class.

Constructor of the class:

1. HLineTo(): Creates an empty object of HLineTo.
2. HLineTo(double x): Creates an object of HLineTo with specified value of x coordinate.

Commonly Used Methods:

Method	Explanation
getX()	Returns the value of x coordinate.
setX(double v)	Sets the value of x coordinate.
toString()	Returns the string representation of HLineTo object.
xProperty()	Defines the X coordinate.

Below programs illustrate the use of HLineTo Class:

• Java program to create a path and add HLineTo to it and display it:
  1. In this program, we will create a Path object named path.
  2. Create an HLineTo object with specified X coordinate.
  3. Then create a MoveTo object named moveto.
  4. Now add the MoveTo and HLineto object to the path.
  5. Add this path to Group object and add the group object to the scene and add the scene to the stage and call the show() function to display the final results.

          try {
  
              // set title for the stage
              stage.setTitle("HLineTo");
  
              // create HLineTo
              HLineTo HLineto = new HLineTo(200);
  
              // create moveto
              MoveTo moveto = new MoveTo(100, 100);
  
              // create a Path
              Path path = new Path(moveto, HLineto);
  
              // set fill for path
              path.setFill(Color.BLACK);
  
              // set stroke width
              path.setStrokeWidth(2);
  
              // create a Group
              Group group = new Group(path);
  
              // create a scene
              Scene scene = new Scene(group, 400, 300);
  
              // set the scene
              stage.setScene(scene);
  
              stage.show();
          }
  
          catch (Exception e) {
  
              System.out.println(e.getMessage());
          }
      }
  
      // Main Method
      public static void main(String args[])
      {
  
          // launch the application
          launch(args);
      }
  }

  Output:

  

• Java program to create a path and add multiple HLineTo object to it and display it:
  1. In this program, we will create a Path object named path.
  2. Create three HLineTo object with specified X coordinate.
  3. Then create three MoveTo object named moveto, moveto_1, and moveto_2.
  4. Add all the MoveTo and HLineTo objects to the path in a order.
  5. After that add this path to Group object.
  6. Add the group object to scene and add the scene to the stage and call the show() function to display the final results.
