Applying Transformations in JavaFX
4 Shearing
A shearing transformation rotates one axis so that the x-axis and y-axis are no longer perpendicular. The coordinates of the node are shifted by the specified multipliers.
To shear, use the Shear
class or the shear
function of the Transform
class.
In the Xylophone application, you can shear the xylophone by dragging the mouse while holding Shift and pressing the left mouse button.
Example 4-1 shows the code snippet for the shear transformation.
