Last Updated :
02 Apr, 2024
Glow class is a part of JavaFX. Glow is a high-level effect that makes the input image appear to glow using a configurable threshold. Glow class inherits
Effect
class.
Constructors of the class:
- Glow(): Creates a new glow object with default parameters.
- Glow(double l): Creates a new instance of Glow with specified level.
Commonly Used Methods:
Method | Explanation |
---|
getInput() | Returns the value of property input |
setInput(Effect v) | Sets the value of property input |
setLevel(double v) | Set the value of level of glow object |
getLevel() | Returns the value of level of glow object |
Below programs illustrate the use of the Glow class:
- Java Program to add a image and add Glow effect to it: In this program a FileInputStream is created and an image is taken as input from a file. Image named image is created using the input from the file input stream. From the image, an image view object is created and it is added to the VBox. The VBox is then added to the scene and the scene is added to the stage. A Glow effect is created with a specified level passed as parameters and the effect is set to the image view using setEffect() function.

// create a image
Image image = new Image(input);
// create a image View
ImageView imageview = new ImageView(image);
// create a glow effect
Glow glow = new Glow(0.5);
// set effect
imageview.setEffect(glow);
// create a VBox
VBox vbox = new VBox(imageview);
// create a scene
Scene scene = new Scene(vbox, 200, 200);
// set the scene
stage.setScene(scene);
stage.show();
}
// Main Method
public static void main(String args[])
{
// launch the application
launch(args);
}
}

- Java Program to add an image and add a Glow effect to it, and also add a button to change the glow level: In this program, an FileInputStream is created and an image is taken as input from a file. Image named image is created using the input from the file input stream. From the image, an image view object is created and it is added to the VBox. The VBox is then added to the scene and the scene is added to the stage. A Glow effect is created with a specified level passed as parameters and the effect is set to the image view using setEffect() function. A Button named button is created which is used to increase the glow of the image. The button is also added to the VBox. The glow of the image is increased using the setLevel() function. The events related to the button is handled using EventHandler.
