## Class BackgroundPosition

- java.lang.Object
- - javafx.scene.layout.BackgroundPosition

-     public class BackgroundPosition
      extends Object

  Represents the position of a `BackgroundImage` within the `Region`'s drawing area.

  The BackgroundImage can be positioned either from the left or right side along the horizontal axis, and from either the top or bottom side along the vertical axis. The `horizontalSide` and `verticalSide` properties define to which side the remaining properties pertain. The `horizontalPosition` specifies the distance of the BackgroundImage from the corresponding side of the Region, and `horizontalAsPercentage` indicates whether this is as a literal value or a percentage. Similar properties exist for specifying the size relative to the vertical axis.

  For example, suppose I had a BackgroundPosition with a `horizontalSide` of `Side.RIGHT`, a `horizontalPosition` of .05, and a `horizontalAsPercentage` of `true`. In this case, the right side of the BackgroundImage will be 5% of the width of the Region from the Region's right edge.

    JavaFX 8.0

- - ### Field Detail

    - #### DEFAULT

          public static final BackgroundPosition DEFAULT

      The default BackgroundPosition for any BackgroundImage. The default is to have no insets and to be defined as 0% and 0%. That is, the position is in the top-left corner.

    - #### CENTER

          public static final BackgroundPosition CENTER

      A BackgroundPosition which will center a BackgroundImage.

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### BackgroundPosition

          public BackgroundPosition​(Side horizontalSide,
                                    double horizontalPosition,
                                    boolean horizontalAsPercentage,
                                    Side verticalSide,
                                    double verticalPosition,
                                    boolean verticalAsPercentage)

      Creates a new BackgroundPosition.
      Parameters:
        `horizontalSide` - The horizontal side, must be either null, LEFT, or RIGHT. If null, LEFT will be used. If TOP or BOTTOM is specified, an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.
        `horizontalPosition` - The horizontal position value.
        `horizontalAsPercentage` - Whether to interpret the horizontal position as a decimal or percentage
        `verticalSide` - The vertical side, must be either null, TOP, or BOTTOM. If null, TOP will be used. If LEFT or RIGHT is specified, an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.
        `verticalPosition` - The vertical position value.
        `verticalAsPercentage` - Whether to interpret the vertical position as a decimal or percentage

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getHorizontalSide

          public final Side getHorizontalSide()

      The side along the horizontal axis to which the BackgroundImage is anchored. This will only be LEFT or RIGHT and never null.
      Returns:
        the Side along the horizontal axis to which the BackgroundImage is anchored

    - #### getVerticalSide

          public final Side getVerticalSide()

      The side along the vertical axis to which the BackgroundImage is anchored. This will only be TOP or BOTTOM and never null.
      Returns:
        the Side along the vertical axis to which the BackgroundImage is anchored

    - #### getHorizontalPosition

          public final double getHorizontalPosition()

      The value indicating the position of the BackgroundImage relative to the Region along the side indicated by the `horizontalSide` property. This value is either a literal or a percentage, depending on the `horizontalAsPercentage` property. Negative values are acceptable.
      Returns:
        the horizontal position of the BackgroundImage

    - #### getVerticalPosition

          public final double getVerticalPosition()

      The value indicating the position of the BackgroundImage relative to the Region along the side indicated by the `verticalSide` property. This value is either a literal or a percentage, depending on the `verticalAsPercentage` property. Negative values are acceptable.
      Returns:
        the vertical position of the BackgroundImage

    - #### isHorizontalAsPercentage

          public final boolean isHorizontalAsPercentage()

      Specifies whether the `horizontalPosition` should be interpreted as a literal number or as a percentage.
      Returns:
        true if horizontalPosition should be interpreted as a percentage

    - #### isVerticalAsPercentage

          public final boolean isVerticalAsPercentage()

      Specifies whether the `verticalPosition` should be interpreted as a literal number or as a percentage.
      Returns:
        true if verticalPosition should be interpreted as a percentage
