public final class RotateTransition
extends Transition

This Transition creates a rotation animation that spans its duration. This is done by updating the rotate variable of the node at regular interval. The angle value is specified in degrees.

It starts from the fromAngle if provided else uses the node's rotate value.

It stops at the toAngle value if provided else it will use start value plus byAngle.

The toAngle takes precedence if both toAngle and byAngle are specified.

Code Segment Example:

 
 import javafx.scene.shape.*;
 import javafx.animation.*;

 ...

     Rectangle rect = new Rectangle (100, 40, 100, 100);
     rect.setArcHeight(50);
     rect.setArcWidth(50);
     rect.setFill(Color.VIOLET);

     RotateTransition rt = new RotateTransition(Duration.millis(3000), rect);
     rt.setByAngle(180);
     rt.setCycleCount(4);
     rt.setAutoReverse(true);

     rt.play();

- Property Detail
  - node
```
public final ObjectProperty<Node> nodeProperty
```
    The target node of this RotateTransition.
    It is not possible to change the target node of a running RotateTransition. If the value of node is changed for a running RotateTransition, the animation has to be stopped and started again to pick up the new value.
    
    See Also:
    
    getNode(), setNode(Node)
  - duration
```
public final ObjectProperty<Duration> durationProperty
```
    The duration of this RotateTransition.
    It is not possible to change the duration of a running RotateTransition. If the value of duration is changed for a running RotateTransition, the animation has to be stopped and started again to pick up the new value.
    Note: While the unit of duration is a millisecond, the granularity depends on the underlying operating system and will in general be larger. For example animations on desktop systems usually run with a maximum of 60fps which gives a granularity of ~17 ms. Setting duration to value lower than Duration.ZERO will result in IllegalArgumentException.

  - interpolate
```
protected void interpolate(double frac)
```
    The method interpolate() has to be provided by implementations of Transition. While a Transition is running, this method is called in every frame. The parameter defines the current position with the animation. At the start, the fraction will be 0.0 and at the end it will be 1.0. How the parameter increases, depends on the interpolator, e.g. if the interpolator is Interpolator.LINEAR, the fraction will increase linear. This method must not be called by the user directly.
    
    Specified by:
    
    interpolate in class Transition
    
    Parameters:
    
    frac - The relative position
