This Transition creates an animation, that changes the stroke color of a shape over a duration. This is done by updating the stroke variable of the shape at regular intervals.

It starts from the fromValue if provided else uses the shape 's stroke value. (The stroke value has to be a Color in this case).

It stops at the toValue value.

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(null);
    StrokeTransition st = new StrokeTransition(Duration.millis(3000), rect, Color.RED, Color.BLUE);
    st.setCycleCount(4);
    st.setAutoReverse(true);
    st.play();
...

The target shape of this StrokeTransition.

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

The duration of this StrokeTransition.

It is not possible to change the duration of a running StrokeTransition. If the value of duration is changed for a running StrokeTransition, 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.
