Class BackgroundSize


  • public final class BackgroundSize
    extends Object
    Defines the size of the area that a BackgroundImage should fill relative to the Region it is styling. There are several properties whose values take precedence over the others. In particular there are 4 key properties, width, height, contain, and cover. Both width and height are independent of each other, however both interact with contain and cover.

    From the CSS Specification, cover is defined to:

    Scale the image, while preserving its intrinsic aspect ratio (if any), to the smallest size such that both its width and its height can completely cover the background positioning area.
    contain is defined to:
    Scale the image, while preserving its intrinsic aspect ratio (if any), to the largest size such that both its width and its height can fit inside the background positioning area.
    And width and height both specify (in absolute values or percentages) the size to use. These two properties only apply if both cover and contain are false. If both cover and contain are true, then cover will be used.

    The width and height may also be set to AUTO, indicating that the area should be sized so as to use the image's intrinsic size, or if it cannot be determined, 100%.

      Fields 
      Modifier and Type Field Description
      static double AUTO
      From the CSS Specification: An "auto" value for one dimension is resolved by using the image's intrinsic ratio and the size of the other dimension, or failing that, using the image's intrinsic size, or failing that, treating it as 100%.
      static BackgroundSize DEFAULT
      The default BackgroundSize used by BackgroundImages when an explicit size is not defined.

      • AUTO

        public static final double AUTO
        From the CSS Specification:
        An "auto" value for one dimension is resolved by using the image's intrinsic ratio and the size of the other dimension, or failing that, using the image's intrinsic size, or failing that, treating it as 100%.

        If both values are "auto" then the intrinsic width and/or height of the image should be used, if any, the missing dimension (if any) behaving as "auto" as described above. If the image has neither an intrinsic width nor an intrinsic height, its size is determined as for "contain".

        When set to AUTO, the values for widthAsPercentage and heightAsPercentage are ignored.

      • DEFAULT

        public static final BackgroundSize DEFAULT
        The default BackgroundSize used by BackgroundImages when an explicit size is not defined. By default, the BackgroundSize is AUTO, AUTO for the width and height, and is neither cover nor contain.

      • BackgroundSize

        public BackgroundSize​(double width,
                              double height,
                              boolean widthAsPercentage,
                              boolean heightAsPercentage,

        heightAsPercentage - Whether the height is to be interpreted as a percentage
        contain - Whether the image should be sized to fit within the Region maximally
        cover - Whether the image should be sized to "cover" the Region
    • Method Detail

      • getWidth

        public final double getWidth()
        The width of the area within the Region where the associated BackgroundImage should render. If set to AUTO, then widthAsPercentage is ignored. This value has no meaning if either contain or cover are specified. This value cannot be negative, except when set to the value of AUTO.
        Returns:
        the width of the area within the Region where the associated BackgroundImage should render
      • getHeight

        public final double getHeight()
        The height of the area within the Region where the associated BackgroundImage should render. If set to AUTO, then heightAsPercentage is ignored. This value has no meaning if either contain or cover are specified. This value cannot be negative, except when set to the value of AUTO.
        Returns:
        the height of the area within the Region where the associated BackgroundImage should render
      • isWidthAsPercentage

        public final boolean isWidthAsPercentage()
        Specifies whether the value contained in width should be interpreted as a percentage or as a normal value.
        Returns:
        true if width should be interpreted as a percentage
      • isHeightAsPercentage

        public final boolean isHeightAsPercentage()
        Specifies whether the value contained in height should be interpreted as a percentage or as a normal value.
        Returns:
        true if height should be interpreted as a percentage
      • isContain

        public final boolean isContain()
        If true, scale the image, while preserving its intrinsic aspect ratio (if any), to the largest size such that both its width and its height can fit inside the background positioning area.
        Returns:
        true if the image can fit inside the background positioning area
      • isCover

        public final boolean isCover()
        If true, scale the image, while preserving its intrinsic aspect ratio (if any), to the smallest size such that both its width and its height can completely cover the background positioning area.
        Returns:
        true if image can completely cover the background positioning area
