Class Glyph

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    javafx.css.Styleable, javafx.event.EventTarget, javafx.scene.control.Skinnable, Duplicatable<Glyph>

    public class Glyph
    extends javafx.scene.control.Label
    implements Duplicatable<Glyph>
    Represents one glyph from the font. The glyph is actually a label showing one character from the specified font. It can be used as 'graphic' on any UI control or Action. It can also directly be used in FXML. Examples:
    
     new Button("", new Glyph("FontAwesome", "BEER"))
     
    
     new Button("", new Glyph("FontAwesome", FontAwesome.Glyph.BEER))
     
    Thy Glyph-Class also offers a fluent API to customize the look of the Glyph. For example, you can set the color color(javafx.scene.paint.Color) or also add effects such as useHoverEffect()

    An ability to retrieve glyph node by combination of font name and glyph name extends to the ActionProxy graphic attribute, where the "font>" prefix should be used. For more information see ActionProxy.
