# Module javafx.graphics

module javafx.graphics
Defines the core scenegraph APIs for the JavaFX UI toolkit (such as layout containers, application lifecycle, shapes, transformations, canvas, input, painting, image handling, and effects), as well as APIs for animation, css, concurrency, geometry, printing, and windowing.

Note: The JavaFX classes must be loaded from a set of named `javafx.*` modules on the module path. Loading the JavaFX classes from the classpath is not supported. See `Platform.startup` for more information.
