The JavaFX SDK runtime is the foundation library of JavaFX platform, allowing content developers, designers, and GUI architects to quickly and easily create GUIs for Rich Internet Applications. Based on the underlying scene graph functionality, the library provides the ability to present objects in scenes such as a frame containing a circle with a defined filling and stroke, and apply different types of lighting, animation, and transformation effects. For more information about the scene graph API, see the project page at scenegraph.dev.java.net and Presenting Visual Objects lesson.
