Box is a part of JavaFX. Box class defines a 3 dimensional box width, height and depth . The box is centered at origin.
Constructor of the class are:
- Box(): creates an empty instance of Box.
- Box(double w, double h, double d): creates an empty instance of Box with specified width, height and depth.
Commonly used methods
| method | explanation |
|---|---|
| getDepth() | get the depth of the box. |
| getWidth() | get the width of the box. |
| getHeight() | get the height of the box |
| setHeight(double v) | set the height of the box |
| setWidth(double v) | set the width of the box |
| setDepth(double v) | set the depth of the box |
The following programs will illustrate the use of Box class.
Java program to create a box and display it on the stage
This program creates a Box indicated by the name box( the height, width and depth is passed as arguments). The Box will be created inside a scene, which in turn will be hosted inside a stage. The function setTitle() is used to provide title to the stage. Then a Group is created, and the box is attached.The group is attached to the scene. Finally, the show() method is called to display the final results.
Java
// Java program to create a box and display it on the stageimport javafx.application.Application;import javafx.scene.Scene;import javafx.scene.shape.DrawMode;import javafx.scene.layout.*;import javafx.event.ActionEvent;import javafx.scene.shape.Box;import javafx.scene.control.*;import javafx.stage.Stage;import javafx.scene.Group;public class box_0 extends Application { // launch the application public void start(Stage stage) { // set title for the stage stage.setTitle("creating box"); // create a box Box box = new Box(200.0f, 120.0f, 150.0f); // create a Group Group group = new Group(box); // translate the box to a position box.setTranslateX(100); box.setTranslateY(100); // create a scene Scene scene = new Scene(group, 500, 300); // set the scene stage.setScene(scene); stage.show(); } public static void main(String args[]) { // launch the application launch(args); }} |
