Transform translating a JavaFX Line - javafx

Question

So I have a displayed Line, which I now want to move to a new locations by animation. TranslateTransition only uses one pair of X and Y coordinates, whereas a Line has two sets of coordinates, one for the start and one for the end of the Line. Is there anyway to specify a TranslateTransition for a Line?
I know about binding a Line (which I can't easily figure out how to apply in my case), but is there a general TranslateTransition solution I can apply to a Line (I know the new start and end coordinates where I want the Line to move to .. so this might be the easiest way, if there is a way ...)

Answer 1

This example shows how to use TranslateTransition using a Line.
import javafx.animation.ParallelTransition;
import javafx.animation.Timeline;
import javafx.animation.TranslateTransition;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.layout.Pane;
import javafx.scene.shape.Line;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.util.Duration;

public class JavaFXTestingGround extends Application{
/**
* #param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
Line line = new Line(10, 10, 10, 40);
TranslateTransition translateTransition = new TranslateTransition(Duration.seconds(6),line);
translateTransition.setFromX(10);
translateTransition.setToX(380);
translateTransition.setCycleCount(Timeline.INDEFINITE);
translateTransition.setAutoReverse(true);
Line line1 = new Line(10, 60, 10, 90);
Line line2 = new Line(10, 60, 40, 60);
Line line3 = new Line(40, 60, 40, 90);
Line line4 = new Line(10, 90, 40, 90);
Group group = new Group(line1, line2, line3, line4);
TranslateTransition translateTransition2 = new TranslateTransition(Duration.seconds(6),group);
translateTransition2.setFromX(10);
translateTransition2.setToX(380);
translateTransition2.setCycleCount(Timeline.INDEFINITE);
translateTransition2.setAutoReverse(true);
ParallelTransition parallelTransition = new ParallelTransition(translateTransition, translateTransition2);
parallelTransition.play();
Pane root = new Pane(line, group);
root.setPrefSize(500, 500);
// Show the stage
primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root));
primaryStage.setTitle("TableColumnGrow Sample");
primaryStage.show();
}
}
Updated Code: I added a Group to the example.
