This lesson focuses on creating and handling visual output in applications by using the JavaFX SDK runtime. JavaFX technology takes advantage of the scene graph functionality and offers new facilities to render graphical scenes.
The lesson starts with an overview of the scene graph features and key concepts. It further examines the Nodes demo, which illustrates how to build a graphical scene and to apply animated and translucency effects to visual objects.
The lesson consists of the following sections:
This section provides a brief overview of the scene graph features that simplify creation of graphical applications.
This section uses the Nodes demo to illustrate how to create and handle visual output in graphical applications written in JavaFX Script. Using this demo as an example, you will learn how to create nodes, add them to the scene, and animate them. In addition, this demo extensively uses data binding.
