Try this:
public class HelloAnimatedRectangle extends Application {
@Override public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
final double sceneWidth = 1024;
final double sceneHeight = 768;
final double squareSize = 200;
final double halfStroke = 0;
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(squareSize, squareSize, Color.ORANGE);
rect.setStroke(Color.WHITE);
rect.setStrokeWidth(halfStroke * 2);
Group root = new Group(rect);
Scene scene = new Scene(root, sceneWidth, sceneHeight);
scene.setFill(Color.BLACK);
stage.setScene(scene);
stage.setTitle("Animated Rectangle");
stage.show();
TranslateTransition translation = new
TranslateTransition(Duration.seconds(20), rect);
translation.setFromX(halfStroke);
translation.setFromY(halfStroke);
translation.setToX((sceneWidth - squareSize) / 2);
translation.setToY((sceneHeight - squareSize) / 2);
RotateTransition rotation = new RotateTransition(Duration.seconds(10),
rect);
rotation.setAutoReverse(true);
rotation.setCycleCount(2);
rotation.setToAngle(720);
TranslateTransition translation2 = new
TranslateTransition(Duration.seconds(20), rect);
translation2.setFromX((sceneWidth - squareSize) / 2);
translation2.setFromY((sceneHeight - squareSize) / 2);
translation2.setToX(sceneWidth - squareSize - halfStroke);
translation2.setToY(sceneHeight - squareSize - halfStroke);
SequentialTransition tx = new SequentialTransition(translation,
rotation, translation2);
tx.play();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
You can mess with the "halfStroke" variable to stroke it white to get greater
contrast between the background and the shape. The translations looks smooth to
me, I don't see any dropped frames. The rotation looks alternately smooth and
chunky depending on the position of the rotation. I believe this is due to
anti-aliasing and pixel refresh speeds (as opposed to an actual performance
problem or timing problem).
What do you see?
