This is the second part of the VWorkflows tutorial. In the first part we demonstrated how to create nodes, define connections and how to visualize them with JavaFX. Thanks for all your feedback! This was the motivation for me to create this second tutorial. UPDATE [23.05.2014]: This tutorial has been …
JavaFX is ideal for creating interactive visualizations. We currently migrate the user interface of VRL-Studio to JavaFX. Therefore, I started a project that allows to visualize interactive workflows/graphs with JavaFX & JFXtras. In this article I’d like to give an introduction to the first draft of the library VWorkflows. Demo: …
I’ve done some experiments with the upcoming JavaFX 3D API. Therefore I created a small demo application that adds 3D content to a JFXtras window control. In the video I’ll discuss subscenes as well as adding 3D objects directly to JavaFX panes. Here’s the video: Requirements: JDK 8 (preview build, …
Since I work with JavaFX 8 I have the feeling that it performs a lot better than JavaFX 2.x. In September 2012 I created a JavaFX performance benchmark (based on BubbleMark) to measure the framerate with different window/scenegraph sizes. Here is the old post which explains the benchmark. The performance …
