Chapter 14.3, Problem 14.25CP

Explanation of Solution

effect class:

• The class “effect” is used to apply special effects for nodes in scene graph.
• The images are filtered by adding effects such as blurs as well as color adjustments.
• The “effect” classes includes:
  • DropShadow:
    • It creates a shadow appearing behind a node.
    • The attributes like radius, color as well as offset of shadow could be defined.
  • InnerShadow:
    • It creates a shadow appearing inside node edges.
    • The attributes like radius, color as well as offset of shadow could be defined.
  • ColorAdjust:
    • The hue, brightness, saturation as well as contrast of images could be adjusted.
  • BoxBlur:
    • It creates a blurring effect using box blur algorithm.
  • GaussianBlur:
    • It creates a blurring effect using Gaussian algorithm.
  • MotionBlur:
    • It blurs image pixels in a particular direction. It creates motion illusion.
  • SepiaTone:
    • It provides image an antique as well as sepia tone affect.
  • Glow:
    • It creates a glowing effect.
  • Reflection:
    • It creates a node’s reflection.
• The “effect” class is present in “javafx.scene.effect” package.

ColorAdjust class:

• The class “ColorAdjust” allows adjusting hue, saturation, brightness as well as contrast of a node at pixel level.
• The methods used in “ColorAdjust” includes:
  • setHue(value):
    • This method adjusts hue or color of each pixel in image, shape or other node.
    • The argument used is a “double” that represents amount to change color...
