Posted by: Josh Marinacci on: December 8, 2009
The JFXStudio Challenge:Holiday challenge is almost over. You’ve still got about a week until December 15th. The rules are the same: 30 lines or 3000 characters to do something cool with the theme holiday. You can only have one .fx file, but you *can* use images, movies, sounds, or other resources hosted on the web. You might even create something cool using a custom font like this:

Proportional transparent scrollbars
Posted by: Josh Marinacci on: November 20, 2009
I’ve been working lately on a new project called MaiTai. In order to build MaiTai exactly as I wanted I had to build several custom controls, including a proportional scrollbar for the canvas.
A proportional scrollbar is one where the thumb changes size to reflect the current fraction of a document that you are viewing. It has three values which matter: the current position (value), the total viewable area (totalSpan), and the amount of the viewable area currently visible (viewSpan). This scrollbar only really makes sense when combined with a scrollable document area, so I created a ScrollCanvas as well. Wiring the bars up to the actual document up requires several tricky binds, but the ScrollCanvas already does this for you. Here’s what it looks like:

Sometimes you need to use sound effects. Besides the usual using a sampled sounds you can use the MIDI API.
CRUDfx SDK has several classes to work with the MIDI.
Pro
- There are 128 instruments and 40 percussions in any computer.
Contra
- Different soundcards plays same instruments with different sounds.
MIDI sounds tester:
See example applet and sourcecode at JavaFX.me

Challenge: Five is over!
Posted by: Josh Marinacci on: November 2, 2009
JFXStudio Challenge: Five is now completely over. We got several entries that I’m excited for you to see. Unfortunately I won’t be able to get them judged this week as I am in Sweden for the OreDev conference, but rest assured you’ll find out the winner, and next month’s theme, very soon.
In the mean time, here’s a great article on doing bitmapped graphics in JavaFX. Keep in mind that everything in this article uses non-public APIs that may change in the future, but it’s fun to play with. Fortunately some of the ideas in this article are influencing API design for future versions of JavaFX, so you may be able to do these sorts of tricks in a supported way one day. (and of course with blinding speed.
