This Transition creates a fade effect animation that spans its duration. This is done by updating the opacity variable of the node at regular interval.

It starts from the fromValue if provided else uses the node's opacity value.

It stops at the toValue value if provided else it will use start value plus byValue.

The toValue takes precedence if both toValue and byValue are specified.

Code Segment Example:


import javafx.scene.shape.*;
import javafx.animation.*;
...
    Rectangle rect = new Rectangle (100, 40, 100, 100);
    rect.setArcHeight(50);
    rect.setArcWidth(50);
    rect.setFill(Color.VIOLET);
    FadeTransition ft = new FadeTransition(Duration.millis(3000), rect);
    ft.setFromValue(1.0);
    ft.setToValue(0.3);
    ft.setCycleCount(4);
    ft.setAutoReverse(true);
    ft.play();
...

The duration of this FadeTransition.

It is not possible to change the duration of a running FadeTransition. If the value of duration is changed for a running FadeTransition, the animation has to be stopped and started again to pick up the new value.

Note: While the unit of duration is a millisecond, the granularity depends on the underlying operating system and will in general be larger. For example animations on desktop systems usually run with a maximum of 60fps which gives a granularity of ~17 ms. Setting duration to value lower than Duration.ZERO will result in IllegalArgumentException.
