JavaFX Box

In general, a box can be defined as the three dimensional shape having all the faces in the rectangular shape. Boxes are generally the cuboid having three dimensions height, depth and width. In JavaFX, box is represented by the class javafx.scene.shape.Box. We just need to instantiate this class in order to create the box.

The height, width and depth of a cube (box) is shown in the following image.

Properties

The class contains various properties that are described in the following table.

Property	Description	Setter Methods
depth	It is a double type property. It represents the z-dimension of the Box.	setDepth(double value)
height	It is a double type property. It represents the Y-dimension of the Box.	setHeight(double value)
width	It is a double type property. It represents the X-dimension of the Box.	setWidth(double value)

Constructors

The class contains two constructors described below.

public Box(): creates the instance of Box class with the default parameters.
public Box(double width, double height, double depth) : creates the instance of Box class with the specified dimensions

Example

package application;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.PerspectiveCamera;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.shape.Box;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class BoxExample extends Application{
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
	// TODO Auto-generated method stub
	//Creating Boxes 
	Box box1 = new Box();
	Box box2 = new Box();
	
	//Setting properties for second box 
	box2.setTranslateX(450);
	box2.setTranslateY(300);
	box2.setTranslateZ(100);
	box2.setHeight(150);
	box2.setWidth(50);
	box2.setDepth(400);
	
	//Setting properties for first box
	box1.setHeight(100);
	box1.setWidth(100);
	box1.setDepth(400);
	box1.setTranslateX(200);
	box1.setTranslateY(200);
	box1.setTranslateZ(200);
	
	//Setting the perspective camera
	PerspectiveCamera camera = new PerspectiveCamera();
	camera.setTranslateX(100);
	camera.setTranslateY(100);
	camera.setTranslateZ(50);
	
	//Configuring Group, Scene and Stage
	Group root = new Group();
	root.getChildren().addAll(box1,box2);
	Scene scene = new Scene(root,450,350,Color.LIMEGREEN);
	scene.setCamera(camera);
	primaryStage.setScene(scene);
	primaryStage.setTitle("Box Example");
	primaryStage.show();

public static void main(String[] args) {
	launch(args);
