Class FXExecutor

java.lang.Object
madkit.gui.FXExecutor
public class FXExecutor extends Object
Provides a wrapper around the JavaFX Platform class with additional functionality for managing calls to the JavaFX Platform. Since MaDKit is not a JavaFX application per se, it needs to manage the JavaFX Platform lifecycle. So, the JavaFX Platform is automatically started when the environment is not in headless mode. This class provides methods to run actions on the JavaFX application thread. Especially, it provides a way to run actions on the JavaFX thread and wait for completion. This is useful when performing rendering actions in simulation.
