Description

This tutorial covers a brief introduction to Java Fx using IntelliJ platform. Below is a screenshot if the welcome screen for intelliJ IDEA 2017.

I have explained how to create a new project in the video, here's a few very important code segments in the video.

• AnchorPane root = new AnchorPane(); This creates a component holder pane in the program, to a single component to the pane, the method pane.getChildren().add(); while method pane.getChildren().addAll(1,2,3); is used to add multiple components to the pane.
• Scene newscene = new Scene(100, 200); This creates a new scene to hold the pane, the width and height of the scene should be specified in the parenthesis and separated with a comma.
• Text text1 = new Text(150, 100, "Text to be displayed"); This creates a text object to be displayed at coordinates x(150) and y(100) with it's content as "Text to be displayed"; If the text is too long to fit it the window, Java Fx supports escape sequence \n, this can be used to break the text.
• DropShadoww shadow = new DropShadow(); This creates a new Drop shadow effect, methods such as setOffsetX() and setOffsetY() are used to edit the effect.
• Reflection reflect = new Reflection(); This creates a reflection effect in the program, methods which include setFraction() are used to edit the effect to required taste.
• Font font = new Font("Tahoma", 20) This is used to create a font styling for text in the program, a font requires the style and size to be added upon declaration.
