Usually when you begin to write any sort of application that requires visual flare, animations are always on the cards.
Since WPF and JavaFX (and Apple’s Cocoa Touch) use a similar animation framework of a declarative nature, meaning, that the developer defines elements at time steps and then the framework works out the rest, it becomes [...]
As some of you may be aware, for a long time I have been eagerly following JavaFX. Playing with it, getting involved in the entire JavaFX world.
It was easy for me to get into it because at work I was also heavily involved in Java work. I was writing a Gwt application that used a [...]
Just a quick note to say that my RSS Feed Example as fully documented here, is now posted as a full loaded sample on the very popular JFXtras.org website.
The link can be found here.

JavaFX is known to be a rich media platform, for use in creating a rich interface for the end user, but when you think of rich media you tend to think of streaming video, animations, graphics etc… what you tend to quickly forget about is RSS (and Atom for that matter).
It has become such a [...]
“Some” of you may know of the SpaceMissionFX game that I wrote a while back to get familiar with JavaFX.
Well that was written in JavaFX 1.1 and I have decided that it is time to update it and make it compatible with 1.2 (also, I have not posted in a while!)…
In case you were wondering, [...]
In my last post on building some bar charts with the data gathered from the Hudson REST api, http://markmacumber.blogspot.com/2009/07/javafx-graphing-and-charting-with.html.
In this article I would like to extend the basic functionality of that graph and also highlight broken builds with RED bars.
The basic idea behind this small enhancement, is to structure the XML parsing in a more [...]
With the release of JavaFX 1.2, came a whole heap of API changes and new features.
Some of these new features include the charting API, this impressive API includes charts for Bar Graphs, Pie Charts, Bubble Charts, Lines Charts, and more. My own graphing API that I was building was solid, but did not cover as [...]
I came across a small issue when I was developing some home projects that I’ve got going (namely JFXtras) and I wanted to make a rectangle “grow backwards”.
i.e. the rectangle needs to grow upwards, not downwards when increasing the “height” of a rectangle.
Actually, the solution is quite simple, all you need to do is to [...]
I have joined a great open source project focused on creating great UI based widgets for JavaFX, its called “JFXtras” and its only in its early stages, but its looking like its going to get very popular and choc full of features very quick.
Just a quick list of features include:
Shapes and Silhouettes
Many layout controls such [...]
G’Day.
In this post, I will demonstrate with code samples, just how a developer would use the JFXGraph application.
Note:I have made a small update to the application that I posted about in the previous post, which will allow you to add your own bars to the graph, and, by double-clicking on a bar, will remove the [...]
