Class BoxBlur

  • public class BoxBlur
extends Effect
    A blur effect using a simple box filter kernel, with separately configurable sizes in both dimensions, and an iteration parameter that controls the quality of the resulting blur.

    Example: 

    
 BoxBlur boxBlur = new BoxBlur();
 boxBlur.setWidth(10);
 boxBlur.setHeight(3);
 boxBlur.setIterations(3);

 Text text = new Text();
 text.setText("Blurry Text!");
 text.setFill(Color.web("0x3b596d"));
 text.setFont(Font.font(null, FontWeight.BOLD, 50));
 text.setX(10);
 text.setY(50);
 text.setEffect(boxBlur);

    The code above produces the following:

    • Property Detail

      • input

        public final ObjectProperty<Effect> inputProperty
        The input for this Effect. If set to null, or left unspecified, a graphical image of the Node to which the Effect is attached will be used as the input.
        Default value:
        null
        See Also:
        getInput(), setInput(Effect)

      • width

        public final DoubleProperty widthProperty
        The horizontal dimension of the blur effect. The color information for a given pixel will be spread across a Box of the indicated width centered over the pixel. Values less than or equal to 1 will not spread the color data beyond the pixel where it originated from and so will have no effect. 
               Min:   0.0
       Max: 255.0
   Default:   5.0
  Identity:  <1.0
        Default value:
        5.0
        See Also:
        getWidth(), setWidth(double)

      • height

        public final DoubleProperty heightProperty
        The vertical dimension of the blur effect. The color information for a given pixel will be spread across a Box of the indicated height centered over the pixel. Values less than or equal to 1 will not spread the color data beyond the pixel where it originated from and so will have no effect. 
               Min:   0.0
       Max: 255.0
   Default:   5.0
  Identity:  <1.0
        Default value:
        5.0
        See Also:
        getHeight(), setHeight(double)

      • iterations

        public final IntegerProperty iterationsProperty
        The number of times to iterate the blur effect to improve its "quality" or "smoothness". Iterating the effect 3 times approximates the quality of a Gaussian Blur to within 3%. 
               Min:   0
       Max:   3
   Default:   1
  Identity:   0
        Default value:
        1
