JavaFX: How to fade a text frame in and out?

Using FadeTransition widget, you can fade a text frame in and out.

 

Step 1: Define a Text widget.

 

Text text = new Text("Hello World");

text.setFill(Color.LIGHTSALMON);

text.setFont(Font.font(null, FontWeight.SEMI_BOLD, 40));

 

Step  2: Apply FadeTransition to the Text widget.

FadeTransition fadeTransition = new FadeTransition(Duration.seconds(3), text);

fadeTransition.setFromValue(2.0);

fadeTransition.setToValue(0.0);

fadeTransition.setCycleCount(Animation.INDEFINITE);

fadeTransition.play();
