About JavaFX pipelines

JavaFX adapts to each platform by choosing the best way to display content. This is called a pipeline
Currently it only supports 3 pipelines:
- OpenGL
- DirectX
- Software
You can specify JavaFX rendering pipeline by setting following property before initializing:
System.setProperty("prism.order", "es2");
System.setProperty("prism.order", "es2,d3d,sw");
Or in launch parameters:
-Dprism.order=es2
It's good practice to set two or more pipelines - one of them may be not supported on device. Here is a support comparison:
OpenGL (es2) | DirectX (d3d) | Software (sw) | |
---|---|---|---|
Windows | ❌* | ✔️ | ✔️ |
Linux (Unix) | ✔️ | ❌ | ✔️ |
MacOS | ✔️ | ❌ | ✔️ |
*
