Hi Tom, this seems to be the case.
Node's rotate property only accepts x and y coordinates, but not pivotX and pivotY for the rotation center. Interestingly RotateTransition uses the rotate property (in Transition#interpolate()) instead of a Rotate transformation. If you want to specify pivot coordinates, you have to use the Rotate transformation (or the Scale transformation). I transform Rotate and Scale transformation with Timeline; it also provides a stop() method which I needed for a geographical information system. --Benjamin On 2/15/15, Tom Eugelink <t...@tbee.org> wrote: > Just to check that I'm seeing this right: > - The rotate property of a node can only rotate around the node's center. > - The RotateTransition simply manipulates a node's rotate property. > > So as soon as you have to rotate around any other point except the center, > these two classes cannot be used. > > The alternative is: > - Use a Rotate transformation, which allows specifying the rotation center. > - Animate that using a Timeline, because that is the easiest way to animatie > a transformation. > > Tom >
