A base class for all lists that wrap another list in a way that changes (transforms) the wrapped list's elements, order, size, or structure. If the source list is observable, a listener is automatically added to it and the events are delegated to sourceChanged(Change). 
Type parameters:
  • <E> – the type parameter of this list
  • <F> – the upper bound of the type of the source list
Since:JavaFX 8.0
