I'm trying to achieve this effect here but on a static background (without the scrolling). I'm getting this weird clip on my results though (without the frost effect). I think I know where the problem is in my code but I'm not sure how to solve it.
public class App extends Application {
private static final double BLUR_AMOUNT = 80;
private static final Effect frostEffect = new BoxBlur(BLUR_AMOUNT, BLUR_AMOUNT, 3);
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
ImageView background = new ImageView(bgImage);
StackPane centerBlurredPane = (StackPane) frozenCenterUI();
BorderPane centerContent = new BorderPane();
centerContent.setCenter(new Text("Center"));
centerContent.setTop(new Text("Top"));
centerContent.setLeft(new Text("Left"));
centerContent.setRight(new Text("Right"));
centerBlurredPane.getChildren.add(centerContent);
Scene scene = new Scene(new StackPane(background,centerBlurredPane),414, 849);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
private Node frozenCenterUI() {
Image frostImage = background.snapshot(new SnapshotParameters(), null);
ImageView frost = new ImageView(frostImage);
Rectangle filler = new Rectangle(24, 762, 366, 696);
filler.setArcHeight(50);
filler.setArcWidth(50);
filler.setFill(Color.AZURE);
Pane frostPane = new Pane(frost);
frostPane.setEffect(frostEffect);
StackPane frostView = new StackPane(filler, frostPane);
Rectangle clipShape = new Rectangle(24, 762, 366, 696);
frostView.setClip(clipShape);
return frostView;
}
}
This is what i'm getting, however. I want to apply frost on the white area here. What should my clip shape be?
Here's my background image, backgroundImage
Edit: I found that if I change my clipShape
to have the same dimensions as the scene, then I get the desired effect. However, the BorderPane
I added to the frozen pane is not constrained to it, but actually stretches and fills the entire window.
