A JavaFX Display Shelf control that supports the following features:

  • Image Titles - Images can have titles that are shown below them on the shelf.
  • Scrollbar - Quick navigation of the list via a scrollbar.
  • Reflection - Supports a reflection effect that can be enabled or disabled
  • Configurable aspect ratio - The aspect ratio of the images in the list can be set based on the type of images loaded.  The default value is 1:1 (square).
  • Highly scalable - You can add an extremely large list of image urls, and only the images displayed on screen will be loaded or even have Nodes created.  Tested up to 10,000 images with no degredation in performance.
  • Intelligent caching - Uses Soft References to cache images that are offscreen.  This will save images up to available memory, and free the least recently used images on garbage collection.

This version works with the JFXtras 0.5 release, but is not yet included in the base distribution.  As of the next JFXtras release (0.6?) this will become a part of the core.
