TilesFX is a powerful JavaFX library that provides sleek and customizable tiles for creating dashboards. In this blog, we’ll explore how to effectively utilize the TilesFX library, which can enhance your application’s user interface with dynamic and visually appealing components. Let’s delve into the details!

Getting Started with TilesFX

The Tile is a core component of the TilesFX library. It comes with various skins and customizable parameters, allowing you to create tiles that suit your application design perfectly. To gain insights into using these skins and parameters, you can explore the following resources:

• Demo file: This file showcases different skins and how they operate.
• TilesFX Demo project: This comprehensive project not only demonstrates TilesFX but also integrates it with other libraries, such as Medusa.
• My blog: Additional detailed information about various tiles can be found here.

Running the Demo

To experience TilesFX firsthand, you can run the demo easily. Navigate to the project folder in your command line and execute the following command:

.gradlew Demo

This command will load the demo application, allowing you to interact with TilesFX and see its features in action.

Understanding TilesFX through Analogy

Think of TilesFX as a set of building blocks for a dashboard—much like how a painter selects colors, brushes, and canvases to create a masterpiece. Each Tile acts as a color or tool in your palette:

• Tiles: Individual tiles can represent different segments of information, similar to how different colors can express diverse moods in artwork.
• Skins: The various skins are like the textures and techniques a painter uses; choosing the right skin allows you to create a specific vibe in your application.
• Customization: Just as artists mix colors or adjust luminescence, you can tweak parameters of TilesFX to fit your specific project needs.

Troubleshooting Tips

Here are a few troubleshooting ideas to consider while using TilesFX:

• Issue with demo not running: Ensure you are in the correct project directory and that you have the necessary dependencies installed.
• Error messages: Check the console output for any error logs that might indicate missing libraries or incorrect configurations.
• Customization not working: Double-check the parameters you are using for the tiles and refer back to the demo files for examples of proper syntax.
