JavaFX | MotionBlur Class

MotionBlur is a part of JavaFX. MotionBlur class implements motion blur effect using a Gaussian convolution kernel, with a configurable radius and angle. MotionBlur class inherits Effect class.

Constructors of the class:

MotionBlur(): Creates a new object of MotionBlur.
MotionBlur(double a, double r): Creates a new object of MotionBlur with specified angle and radius.

Commonly Used Methods:

Method	Explanation
getAngle()	Return the angle of the MotionBlur object
getRadius()	Return the radius of the MotionBlur object
getInput()	Return the input of the MotionBlur object
setAngle(double v)	Sets the angle of the MotionBlur object
getRadius(double v)	Set the radius of the MotionBlur object
setInput(Effect v)	Sets the input of the MotionBlur object

Below programs illustrate the use of MotionBlur class:

Java program to import an image and add Motion Blur 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 MotionBlur effect is created with a specified level passed as parameters and the effect is set to the image view using setEffect() function.

        // create a image 
        Image image = new Image(input); 
  
        // create a image View 
        ImageView imageview = new ImageView(image); 
  
        // create a Motion blur effect 
        MotionBlur motion_blur = new MotionBlur(); 
  
        // set effect 
        imageview.setEffect(motion_blur); 
  
        // 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); 
    } 
}
