Encountering Performance Bottleneck in JavaFX Application with High-Resolution Images
I'm integrating two systems and I'm trying to configure I tried several approaches but none seem to work. I've been struggling with this for a few days now and could really use some help. Currently developing a JavaFX application that displays a gallery of high-resolution images. During testing, I noticed significant lag when scrolling through the gallery, especially with images over 4MB in size. The application is built with Java 17 and I’m using JavaFX 17 as the UI framework. I attempted to utilize `ImageView` to load and display images, but as the number of images increased, so did the delay. I tried switching to `Image` and `ImageView` with a scaling method to reduce the memory footprint, yet the stutter persists. Here’s a snippet of my image loading logic: ```java Image image = new Image(new FileInputStream(imagePath), 800, 600, true, true); ImageView imageView = new ImageView(image); imageView.setPreserveRatio(true); galleryPane.getChildren().add(imageView); ``` To optimize further, I’m considering using lazy loading or pagination to manage how many images are loaded into view at once. However, I'm uncertain how to implement this effectively with JavaFX. Has anyone faced similar issues or can share best practices for handling large image datasets in a JavaFX application? Any suggestions on how to implement lazy loading or improve performance would be highly appreciated. Also, are there specific libraries or patterns that could help prevent this bottleneck? For context: I'm using Java on Linux. Thanks in advance! Any pointers in the right direction?
