Yes, it's just a matter of where the cast happens. While we aren't entirely consistent, I think you'll find more places where the peers hold floats rather than double (one notable exception is transforms where we need the extra precision). In particular, Color and position values for shapes are stored in the peer as floats. Also, PhongMaterial stores the power as a float even though the API is double. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jfx/pull/43
