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	✔️	❌	✔️

* - It may work (see instruction here)
