FX

Often developers need to use several copies of the same object but of different colors. A typical case of this is game counters of different colors or similar cars in the racing game.

Multiple copies of similar objects may substantially increase application size. Besides, if you decide to change the image, you will have to perform updates in several places. A more efficient solution is to store a single copy of the image and change its color at runtime using power of JavaFX effects:

for (i in [1..count]) ImageView {
  image: image
  effect: ColorAdjust {
    hue: 1.0 - 2.0 * i / count
  }
}
