Mastering JavaFX 10

Using ScaleTransition

The scale can be changed by the vertical and horizontal dimension separately as shown in the following code snippet:

ScaleTransition st = new ScaleTransition(Duration.seconds(3), node);st.setToX(2); // double the size of the nodest.play();

While using the byX/byY methods, keep in mind that you are starting from a scale equal to 1 in both dimensions, for example:

st.setByX(1); // double the size of the nodest.setByX(-1); // change size to 0
