## Enum FontWeight

- java.lang.Object
- - java.lang.Enum<FontWeight>
  - - javafx.scene.text.FontWeight

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    `Serializable`, `Comparable<FontWeight>`, `java.lang.constant.Constable`

      public enum FontWeight
      extends Enum<FontWeight>

  Specifies different font weights which can be used when searching for a font on the system. The names correspond to pre-defined weights in the OS/2 table of the OpenType font specification. The CSS 3 specification references the same as a sequence of values.
  Since:
    JavaFX 2.0

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### values

          public static FontWeight[] values()

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

    - #### valueOf

          public static FontWeight 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

    - #### getWeight

          public int getWeight()

      Return the visual weight (degree of blackness or thickness) specified by this `FontWeight`.
      Returns:
        weight

    - #### findByName

          public static FontWeight findByName​(String name)

      Returns `FontWeight` by its name.
      Parameters:
        `name` - name of the `FontWeight`
      Returns:
        the FontWeight by its name

    - #### findByWeight

          public static FontWeight findByWeight​(int weight)

      Returns the closest `FontWeight` for a weight value as defined by the CSS and OpenType specifications. Where the specified value is equidistant between two `FontWeight` values, then the implementation may select either at its discretion. This lookup is without reference to a font, so this is purely a mapping to the set of `FontWeight` instances and does not mean that a font of that weight will be available.
      Parameters:
        `weight` - the weight value
      Returns:
        closest `FontWeight`
