## Enum StrokeType

- java.lang.Object
- - java.lang.Enum<StrokeType>
  - - javafx.scene.shape.StrokeType

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    `Serializable`, `Comparable<StrokeType>`

      public enum StrokeType
      extends Enum<StrokeType>

  Defines where to draw the stroke around the boundary of a Shape node.
  Since:
    JavaFX 2.0

    `Shape`

- - ### Enum Constant Summary

    Enum Constants
    Enum Constant | Description
    --- | ---
    `CENTERED` | The stroke is applied by thickening the boundary of the `Shape` node by a distance of half of the `strokeWidth` on either side of the boundary.
    `INSIDE` | The stroke is applied by extending the boundary of a closed `Shape` node into its interior by a distance specified by the `strokeWidth`.
    `OUTSIDE` | The stroke is applied by extending the boundary of a closed `Shape` node outside of its interior by a distance specified by the `strokeWidth`.

  - ### Method Summary

    All Methods Static Methods Concrete Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method | Description
    --- | --- | ---
    `static StrokeType` | `valueOf​(String name)` | Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
    `static StrokeType[]` | `values()` | Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

    - #### INSIDE

          public static final StrokeType INSIDE

      The stroke is applied by extending the boundary of a closed `Shape` node into its interior by a distance specified by the `strokeWidth`. Since the definition of `INSIDE` depends on the filled interior of the shape, this `StrokeType` is undefined for unclosed shapes.

      The image shows a shape without stroke and the same shape with a thick inside stroke applied.

    - #### OUTSIDE

          public static final StrokeType OUTSIDE

      The stroke is applied by extending the boundary of a closed `Shape` node outside of its interior by a distance specified by the `strokeWidth`. Since the definition of `OUTSIDE` depends on the filled interior of the shape, this `StrokeType` is undefined for unclosed shapes.

      The image shows a shape without stroke and the same shape with a thick outside stroke applied.

    - #### CENTERED

          public static final StrokeType CENTERED

      The stroke is applied by thickening the boundary of the `Shape` node by a distance of half of the `strokeWidth` on either side of the boundary. Since the definition of `CENETERED` is symmetric and agnostic as to the location of any interior of a shape, it can be used for either closed or unclosed shapes.

      The image shows a shape without stroke and the same shape with a thick centered stroke applied.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### values

          public static StrokeType[] values()

      Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

          for (StrokeType c : StrokeType.values())
              System.out.println(c);

      Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

    - #### valueOf

          public static StrokeType valueOf​(String name)

      Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
      Parameters:
        `name` - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
      Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        `NullPointerException` - if the argument is null
