JavaFX links of the week, November 5

by Jonathan Giles | Nov 4, 2018 | Links

A quiet week this time, with just two links of note that I could find:

• GestureFX, a lightweight gesture-enabled pane for JavaFX, has had a new release.
• I came across the open-source Paintera, which “is a general visualization tool for 3D volumetric data and proof-reading in segmentation/reconstruction with a primary focus on neuron reconstruction from electron micrographs in connectomics.” It is built using JavaFX 2D and 3D interfaces. There is a cool video linked on Twitter (I wish I could find a better one)

We’ve hit October already! It is crazy how fast the years are racing by, which is why it is so important to take this moment to recognise the people doing contributions to Java on the client. Here’s the links of the week – enjoy 🙂

• Florian Brunner has an update on his Drombler JStore project. There are now REST services, and JAP packaging functionality.
• Pedro DV has blogged about an updated release of his fluent design style project JMetro, which brings support for ProgressBar styling.
• Andres Almiray has released updates to a number of projects to make them JavaFX 11 compatible.
• goxr3plus has open sourced XR3Converter, a “powerful JavaFX application for converting any audio to any audio and any video to any video or audio.”
