# Interface ObservableFloatArray

All Superinterfaces:
  `Observable`, `ObservableArray<ObservableFloatArray>`

public interface ObservableFloatArray extends ObservableArray<ObservableFloatArray>
`ObservableFloatArray` is a `float[]` array that allows listeners to track changes when they occur. In order to track changes, the internal array is encapsulated and there is no direct access available from the outside. Bulk operations are supported but they always do a copy of the data range.

Since:
  JavaFX 8.0

- ## Method Details

  - ### copyTo

    void copyTo(int srcIndex, float[] dest, int destIndex, int length)
    Copies specified portion of array into `dest` array. Throws the same exceptions as `System.arraycopy()` method.
    Parameters:
      `srcIndex` - starting position in the observable array
      `dest` - destination array
      `destIndex` - starting position in destination array
      `length` - length of portion to copy

  - ### copyTo

    void copyTo(int srcIndex, ObservableFloatArray dest, int destIndex, int length)
    Copies specified portion of array into `dest` observable array. Throws the same exceptions as `System.arraycopy()` method.
    Parameters:
      `srcIndex` - starting position in the observable array
      `dest` - destination observable array
      `destIndex` - starting position in destination observable array
      `length` - length of portion to copy

  - ### get

    float get(int index)
    Gets a single value of array. This is generally as fast as direct access to an array and eliminates necessity to make a copy of array.
    Parameters:
      `index` - index of element to get
    Returns:
      value at the given index
    Throws:
      `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` - if `index` is outside array bounds

  - ### addAll

    void addAll(float... elements)
    Appends given `elements` to the end of this array. Capacity is increased if necessary to match the new size of the data.
    Parameters:
      `elements` - elements to append

  - ### addAll

    void addAll(ObservableFloatArray src)
    Appends content of a given observable array to the end of this array. Capacity is increased if necessary to match the new size of the data.
    Parameters:
      `src` - observable array with elements to append

  - ### addAll

    void addAll(float[] src, int srcIndex, int length)
    Appends a portion of given array to the end of this array. Capacity is increased if necessary to match the new size of the data.
    Parameters:
      `src` - source array
      `srcIndex` - starting position in source array
      `length` - length of portion to append

  - ### addAll

    void addAll(ObservableFloatArray src, int srcIndex, int length)
    Appends a portion of given observable array to the end of this array. Capacity is increased if necessary to match the new size of the data.
    Parameters:
      `src` - source observable array
      `srcIndex` - starting position in source array
      `length` - length of portion to append

  - ### setAll

    void setAll(float... elements)
    Replaces this observable array content with given elements. Capacity is increased if necessary to match the new size of the data.
    Parameters:
      `elements` - elements to put into array content
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - if `src` is null

  - ### setAll

    void setAll(float[] src, int srcIndex, int length)
    Replaces this observable array content with a copy of portion of a given array. Capacity is increased if necessary to match the new size of the data.
    Parameters:
      `src` - source array to copy.
      `srcIndex` - starting position in source observable array
      `length` - length of a portion to copy
