Chaining JavaFX effects

Unfortunately, it appears that the only way to chain JavaFX effects together is by using a Group control. (There is a Effect(input1, input2) constructor, but I can’t seem to access it from JavaFX Script, while the Blend effect doesn’t chain effects, but instead applies them in parallel).

To achieve a Coverflow-like look, we apply a reflection effect, then apply a PerspectiveTransform.

import javafx.application.*;
import javafx.scene.geometry.*;
import javafx.scene.*;
import javafx.scene.paint.*;
import javafx.scene.effect.*;

Frame
{
    visible: true
    name: "Beginnings of Coverflow"
    closeAction: function() { java.lang.System.exit(0); }
    stage: Stage
    {
        width: 1024 height: 768
        fill: Color.BLACK
        content:
        [
            Group { content: [Rectangle
                                {
                                    width: 100 height: 100
                                    x: 0 y: 0
                                    fill: Color.WHITE
                                    effect: Reflection { topOffset:1.0 topOpacity:0.50},
                                },]
                    effect: PerspectiveTransform
                    {
                        llx: 10.0  lly: 200.0 ulx: 10.0   uly:  0.0
                        lrx: 100.0 lry: 170.0 urx: 100.0  ury: 10.0
                    }
            },

        ]
    }
}
