How to achieve soft round effect on border in JavaFX - css

Question

I have a generic border of a node and i want to make the border look like this image (both CSS and code way) in JavaFX:
Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You should use box-shadow to add a soft round effect with border and border-radius.
border: 1px solid #888888;
box-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #888888;
border-radius: 25px;

Answer 2

The main Class for stage
public class SpiderMan extends Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
#Override
public void start(Stage stage) throws IOException {
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(
getClass().getResource(
"SpiderMan.fxml"
)
);
loader.setController(new clipRound());
Pane batman = loader.load();
stage.setTitle("Where's Spider man Round image?");
stage.setScene(new Scene(batman));
stage.show();
}
}
The Round Image Class View
class clipRound {
#FXML
private ImageView imageView;
#FXML
public void initialize() {
// set a clip to apply rounded border to the original image.
Rectangle clip = new Rectangle(
imageView.getFitWidth(), imageView.getFitHeight()
);
clip.setArcWidth(20); the radius Arch
clip.setArcHeight(20); the radius Arch
imageView.setClip(clip);
// snapshot the rounded image.
SnapshotParameters parameters = new SnapshotParameters();
parameters.setFill(Color.TRANSPARENT);
WritableImage image = imageView.snapshot(parameters, null);
// remove the rounding clip so that our effect can show through.
imageView.setClip(null);
// apply a shadow effect.
imageView.setEffect(new DropShadow(20, Color.BLACK));
// store the rounded image in the imageView.
imageView.setImage(image);
}
}
The round Image FXML view "SpiderMan.fxml"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?import javafx.scene.image.Image?>
<?import javafx.scene.image.ImageView?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.AnchorPane?>
<AnchorPane id="AnchorPane" maxHeight="-Infinity" maxWidth="-Infinity" minHeight="-Infinity" minWidth="-Infinity" prefHeight="313.0" prefWidth="477.0" style="-fx-background-color: azure;" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/2.2">
<children>
<ImageView fx:id="imageView" layoutX="29.0" layoutY="44.0" fitHeight="224.0" fitWidth="400.0" pickOnBounds="true" preserveRatio="true">
<image>

</ImageView>
