JavaFX not able to read images

Hi,
My javafx code is not able to read image and hence not able to display it on runtime. Am using Net Beans IDE. Other nodes (Circle & Text are appearing fine). Any ideas please ?
Code:

Code:

---


package test2;

import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.image.Image;
import javafx.scene.image.ImageView;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.shape.Circle;
import javafx.scene.text.Text;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

Stage {
    title: "Group-Nodes-Transformation"
    scene: Scene {
        width: 600
        height: 600
        content: Group {
            content: [
                Circle {
                    centerX: 300
                    centerY: 300
                    radius: 250
                    fill: Color.WHITE
                    stroke: Color.BLACK
                },
                Text {
                    x: 300
                    y: 300
                    content: "Mr. Duke"
                },
                ImageView {
                    image: Image {
                        url: "D:\\TEST\\Documents\\duke.png"
                        width:50
                        height:50
                    }
                }
            ]//content
        }//Group
    }//Scene
}//Stage

Hey ajeeb,

I got the same problem. I'll give you a solution as soon as i get one.

Hey ajeeb,

I don't know whether you got the answer for this question elsewhere. I joined this forum just yesterday. Although your post is quite old I thought of answering bcoz no one else has answered.
Answer is quite simple. "url" instance varable does not support system paths. So JavaFX provides "fromBuffereImage(java.awt.image.BufferedImage ): Image" method which has a BufferedImage argument and returns a JavaFX Image object.
You have to modify your code as follows:

package test2;

import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.image.Image;
import javafx.scene.image.ImageView;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.shape.Circle;
import javafx.scene.text.Text;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
//Add imports for ImageIO, File, BufferedImage

var img = Image {};

Stage {
title: "Group-Nodes-Transformation"
scene: Scene {
width: 600
height: 600
content: Group {
content: [
Circle {
centerX: 300
centerY: 300
radius: 250
fill: Color.WHITE
stroke: Color.BLACK
},
Text {
x: 300
y: 300
content: "Mr. Duke"
},
ImageView {
image: img.fromBufferedImage(ImageIO.read(new File("D:\\TEST\\Documents\\duke.png")));
}
]//content
}//Group
}//Scene
}//Stage

just make a url out of the url like
url: "file:\D:\\TEST\\Documents\\duke.png"

and it will work. At least on windows. On Linux I am still working to get this running.
