Reusable JavaFX tools for QuPath (and beyond)

QuPath FX

What's here?

This repository contains code that can help when working with JavaFX.

It's developed alongside QuPath, but intended to be reusable across other projects too.

In this way, it's similar in purpose to ControlsFX and JFxtras (which gave some inspiration for the name), but distinct from both.

Features

The main features are:

• Controls - several custom controls, including a rotation slider and input display window (to show mouse and keyboard input)
• Dialogs - to simplify showing custom dialogs - and notifications, if ControlsFX is available
• Localization - to help manage StringProperty instances backed by resource bundles
• Prefs - to support creating JavaFX properties backed by Java Preferences
• Utils - Other helper classes, to reduce some boilerplate

Dependencies

Dependencies are minimal to try to keep things simple. They are:

• Java 17
• JavaFX 17
• SLF4J-API 2.0.0
• ControlsFX 11.1.2 (optional)
