Manim relies on Python’s simplicity to generate animations programmatically, making it convenient to specify exactly how each one should run. Take a look at the [Example Gallery](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/examples.html) for some inspiration on how to create beautiful images and videos with Manim. First Steps[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/#first-steps "Link to this heading") ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you new to Manim and are looking for where to get started? Then you are in the right place! Note Please be aware that there are different, incompatible versions of Manim available. This version, the Community Edition of Manim ([ManimCE](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim) ), is a separate project maintained by the community, but it was forked from [3b1b/manim](https://github.com/3b1b/manim) , the original Manim created and open-sourced by Grant Sanderson, creator of [3Blue1Brown](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYO_jab_esuFRV4b17AJtAw) educational math videos. Check our [installation FAQ](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/faq/installation.html#different-versions) to learn more! * The [Installation](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/installation.html) section has the latest and up-to-date installation instructions for Windows, macOS, and Linux. You can also find information on Manim’s docker images and (online) notebook environments there. * Want to try the library before installing it? Take a look at our interactive online playground at [https://try.manim.community](https://try.manim.community/) in the form of a Jupyter notebook. * In our [Tutorials](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/tutorials/index.html) section you will find a collection of resources that will teach you how to use Manim. In particular, the [Quickstart](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/tutorials/quickstart.html) tutorial teaches you Manim’s basics, and in [Manim’s building blocks](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/tutorials/building_blocks.html) the classes used to compose your animations are described in more detail.

Return type: Self See also `RoundedRectangle` Note If radius is supplied as a single value, then the same radius will be applied to all corners. If radius is a list, then the individual values will be applied sequentially, with the first corner receiving radius\[0\], the second corner receiving radius\[1\], etc. The radius list will be repeated as necessary. The components\_per\_rounded\_corner value is provided so that the fidelity of the rounded corner may be fine-tuned as needed. 2 is an appropriate value for most shapes, however a larger value may be need if the rounded corner is particularly large. 2 is the minimum number allowed, representing the start and end of the curve. 3 will result in a start, middle, and end point, meaning 2 curves will be generated. The option to evenly\_distribute\_anchors is provided so that the line segments (the part part of each line remaining after rounding off the corners) can be subdivided to a density similar to that of the average density of the rounded corners. This may be desirable in situations in which an even distribution of curves is desired for use in later transformation animations.

For instance, if the bounding box of your polygon stretches from 0 to 10,000, a precision of 1.0 or 10.0 should be sufficient. * **kwargs** (_Any_) Examples Example: LabeledPolygramExample [¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.geometry.labeled.LabeledPolygram.html#labeledpolygramexample) ![../_images/LabeledPolygramExample-1.png](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/_images/LabeledPolygramExample-1.png) from manim import \* class LabeledPolygramExample(Scene): def construct(self): \# Define Rings ring1 \= \[\ \[\-3.8, \-2.4, 0\], \[\-2.4, \-2.5, 0\], \[\-1.3, \-1.6, 0\], \[\-0.2, \-1.7, 0\],\ \[1.7, \-2.5, 0\], \[2.9, \-2.6, 0\], \[3.5, \-1.5, 0\], \[4.9, \-1.4, 0\],\ \[4.5, 0.2, 0\], \[4.7, 1.6, 0\], \[3.5, 2.4, 0\], \[1.1, 2.5, 0\],\ \[\-0.1, 0.9, 0\], \[\-1.2, 0.5, 0\], \[\-1.6, 0.7, 0\], \[\-1.4, 1.9, 0\],\ \[\-2.6, 2.6, 0\], \[\-4.4, 1.2, 0\], \[\-4.9, \-0.8, 0\], \[\-3.8, \-2.4, 0\]\ \] ring2 \= \[\ \[0.2, \-1.2, 0\], \[0.9, \-1.2, 0\], \[1.4, \-2.0, 0\], \[2.1, \-1.6, 0\],\ \[2.2, \-0.5, 0\], \[1.4, 0.0, 0\], \[0.4, \-0.2, 0\], \[0.2, \-1.2, 0\]\ \] ring3 \= \[\[\-2.7, 1.4, 0\], \[\-2.3, 1.7, 0\], \[\-2.8, 1.9, 0\], \[\-2.7, 1.4, 0\]\] \# Create Polygons (for reference) p1 \= Polygon(\*ring1, fill\_opacity\=0.75) p2 \= Polygon(\*ring2, fill\_color\=BLACK, fill\_opacity\=1) p3 \= Polygon(\*ring3, fill\_color\=BLACK, fill\_opacity\=1) \# Create Labeled Polygram polygram \= LabeledPolygram( \*\[ring1, ring2, ring3\], label\=Text('Pole', font\='sans-serif'), precision\=0.01, ) \# Display Circle (for reference) circle \= Circle(radius\=polygram.radius, color\=WHITE).move\_to(polygram.pole) self.add(p1, p2, p3) self.add(polygram) self.add(circle) class LabeledPolygramExample(Scene): def construct(self): # Define Rings ring1 = \[\ \[-3.8, -2.4, 0\], \[-2.4, -2.5, 0\], \[-1.3, -1.6, 0\], \[-0.2, -1.7, 0\],\ \[1.7, -2.5, 0\], \[2.9, -2.6, 0\], \[3.5, -1.5, 0\], \[4.9, -1.4, 0\],\ \[4.5, 0.2, 0\], \[4.7, 1.6, 0\], \[3.5, 2.4, 0\], \[1.1, 2.5, 0\],\ \[-0.1, 0.9, 0\], \[-1.2, 0.5, 0\], \[-1.6, 0.7, 0\], \[-1.4, 1.9, 0\],\ \[-2.6, 2.6, 0\], \[-4.4, 1.2, 0\], \[-4.9, -0.8, 0\], \[-3.8, -2.4, 0\]\ \] ring2 = \[\ \[0.2, -1.2, 0\], \[0.9, -1.2, 0\], \[1.4, -2.0, 0\], \[2.1, -1.6, 0\],\ \[2.2, -0.5, 0\], \[1.4, 0.0, 0\], \[0.4, -0.2, 0\], \[0.2, -1.2, 0\]\ \] ring3 = \[\[-2.7, 1.4, 0\], \[-2.3, 1.7, 0\], \[-2.8, 1.9, 0\], \[-2.7, 1.4, 0\]\] # Create Polygons (for reference) p1 = Polygon(\*ring1, fill\_opacity=0.75) p2 = Polygon(\*ring2, fill\_color=BLACK, fill\_opacity=1) p3 = Polygon(\*ring3, fill\_color=BLACK, fill\_opacity=1) # Create Labeled Polygram polygram = LabeledPolygram( \*\[ring1, ring2, ring3\], label=Text('Pole', font='sans-serif'), precision=0.01, ) # Display Circle (for reference) circle = Circle(radius=polygram.radius, color=WHITE).move\_to(polygram.pole) self.add(p1, p2, p3) self.add(polygram) self.add(circle) Example: LabeledCountryExample [¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.geometry.labeled.LabeledPolygram.html#labeledcountryexample) ![../_images/LabeledCountryExample-1.png](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/_images/LabeledCountryExample-1.png) from manim import \* import requests import json class LabeledCountryExample(Scene): def construct(self): \# Fetch JSON data and process arcs data \= requests.get('https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/us-atlas@3/nation-10m.json').json() arcs, transform \= data\['arcs'\], data\['transform'\] sarcs \= \[np.cumsum(arc, axis\=0) \* transform\['scale'\] + transform\['translate'\] for arc in arcs\] ssarcs \= sorted(sarcs, key\=len, reverse\=True)\[:1\] \# Compute Bounding Box points \= np.concatenate(ssarcs) mins, maxs \= np.min(points, axis\=0), np.max(points, axis\=0) \# Build Axes ax \= Axes( x\_range\=\[mins\[0\], maxs\[0\], maxs\[0\] \- mins\[0\]\], x\_length\=10, y\_range\=\[mins\[1\], maxs\[1\], maxs\[1\] \- mins\[1\]\], y\_length\=7, tips\=False ) \# Adjust Coordinates array \= \[\[ax.c2p(\*point) for point in sarc\] for sarc in ssarcs\] \# Add Polygram polygram \= LabeledPolygram( \*array, label\=Text('USA', font\='sans-serif'), precision\=0.01, fill\_color\=BLUE, stroke\_width\=0, fill\_opacity\=0.75 ) \# Display Circle (for reference) circle \= Circle(radius\=polygram.radius, color\=WHITE).move\_to(polygram.pole) self.add(ax) self.add(polygram) self.add(circle) import requests import json class LabeledCountryExample(Scene): def construct(self): # Fetch JSON data and process arcs data = requests.get('https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/us-atlas@3/nation-10m.json').json() arcs, transform = data\['arcs'\], data\['transform'\] sarcs = \[np.cumsum(arc, axis=0) \* transform\['scale'\] + transform\['translate'\] for arc in arcs\] ssarcs = sorted(sarcs, key=len, reverse=True)\[:1\] # Compute Bounding Box points = np.concatenate(ssarcs) mins, maxs = np.min(points, axis=0), np.max(points, axis=0) # Build Axes ax = Axes( x\_range=\[mins\[0\], maxs\[0\], maxs\[0\] -

Alternatively, custom labels can be specified by passing a dictionary whose keys are the vertices, and whose values are the corresponding vertex labels (rendered via, e.g., [`Text`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.text.text_mobject.Text.html#manim.mobject.text.text_mobject.Text "manim.mobject.text.text_mobject.Text") or [`Tex`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.text.tex_mobject.Tex.html#manim.mobject.text.tex_mobject.Tex "manim.mobject.text.tex_mobject.Tex") ). * **label\_fill\_color** (_str_) – Sets the fill color of the default labels generated when `labels` is set to `True`. Has no effect for other values of `labels`. * **layout** (_LayoutName_ _|_ _dict__\[__Hashable__,_ [_Point3DLike_](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#manim.typing.Point3DLike "manim.typing.Point3DLike")\ _\]_ _|_ [_LayoutFunction_](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.graph.LayoutFunction.html#manim.mobject.graph.LayoutFunction "manim.mobject.graph.LayoutFunction") ) – Either one of `"spring"` (the default), `"circular"`, `"kamada_kawai"`, `"planar"`, `"random"`, `"shell"`, `"spectral"`, `"spiral"`, `"tree"`, and `"partite"` for automatic vertex positioning using `networkx` (see [their documentation](https://networkx.org/documentation/stable/reference/drawing.html#module-networkx.drawing.layout) for more details), or a dictionary specifying a coordinate (value) for each vertex (key) for manual positioning. * **layout\_config** (_dict_ _|_ _None_) – Only for automatically generated layouts. A dictionary whose entries are passed as keyword arguments to the automatic layout algorithm specified via `layout` of `networkx`. The `tree` layout also accepts a special parameter `vertex_spacing` passed as a keyword argument inside the `layout_config` dictionary. Passing a tuple `(space_x, space_y)` as this argument overrides the value of `layout_scale` and ensures that vertices are arranged in a way such that the centers of siblings in the same layer are at least `space_x` units apart horizontally, and neighboring layers are spaced `space_y` units vertically. * **layout\_scale** (_float_ _|_ _tuple__\[__float__,_ _float__,_ _float__\]_) – The scale of automatically generated layouts: the vertices will be arranged such that the coordinates are located within the interval `[-scale, scale]`. Some layouts accept a tuple `(scale_x, scale_y)` causing the first coordinate to be in the interval `[-scale_x, scale_x]`, and the second in `[-scale_y, scale_y]`. Default: 2. * **vertex\_type** (_type__\[_[_Mobject_](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject.html#manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject "manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject")\ _\]_) – The mobject class used for displaying vertices in the scene. * **vertex\_config** (_dict_ _|_ _None_) – Either a dictionary containing keyword arguments to be passed to the class specified via `vertex_type`, or a dictionary whose keys are the vertices, and whose values are dictionaries containing keyword arguments for the mobject related to the corresponding vertex. * **vertex\_mobjects** (_dict_ _|_ _None_) – A dictionary whose keys are the vertices, and whose values are mobjects to be used as vertices. Passing vertices here overrides all other configuration options for a vertex. * **edge\_type** (_type__\[_[_Mobject_](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject.html#manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject "manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject")\ _\]_) – The mobject class used for displaying edges in the scene. * **edge\_config** (_dict_ _|_ _None_) – Either a dictionary containing keyword arguments to be passed to the class specified via `edge_type`, or a dictionary whose keys are the edges, and whose values are dictionaries containing keyword arguments for the mobject related to the corresponding edge. You can further customize the tip by adding a `tip_config` dictionary for global styling, or by adding the dict to a specific `edge_config`. * **partitions** (_Sequence__\[__Sequence__\[__Hashable__\]__\]_ _|_ _None_) * **root\_vertex** (_Hashable_ _|_ _None_) Examples Example: MovingDiGraph [¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.graph.DiGraph.html#movingdigraph) from manim import \* class MovingDiGraph(Scene): def construct(self): vertices \= \[1, 2, 3, 4\] edges \= \[(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4), (1, 3), (1, 4)\] g \= DiGraph(vertices, edges) self.add(g) self.play( g\[1\].animate.move\_to(\[1, 1, 1\]), g\[2\].animate.move\_to(\[\-1, 1, 2\]), g\[3\].animate.move\_to(\[1, \-1, \-1\]), g\[4\].animate.move\_to(\[\-1, \-1, 0\]), ) self.wait() class MovingDiGraph(Scene): def construct(self): vertices = \[1, 2, 3, 4\] edges = \[(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4), (1, 3), (1, 4)\] g = DiGraph(vertices, edges) self.add(g) self.play( g\[1\].animate.move\_to(\[1, 1, 1\]), g\[2\].animate.move\_to(\[-1, 1, 2\]), g\[3\].animate.move\_to(\[1, -1, -1\]), g\[4\].animate.move\_to(\[-1, -1, 0\]), ) self.wait() You can customize the edges and arrow tips globally or locally.

[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.graph.GenericGraph.html#manim.mobject.graph.GenericGraph "Link to this definition") Bases: [`VMobject`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.types.vectorized_mobject.VMobject.html#manim.mobject.types.vectorized_mobject.VMobject "manim.mobject.types.vectorized_mobject.VMobject") Abstract base class for graphs (that is, a collection of vertices connected with edges). Graphs can be instantiated by passing both a list of (distinct, hashable) vertex names, together with list of edges (as tuples of vertex names). See the examples for concrete implementations of this class for details. Note This implementation uses updaters to make the edges move with the vertices. See also [`Graph`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.graph.Graph.html#manim.mobject.graph.Graph "manim.mobject.graph.Graph") , [`DiGraph`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.graph.DiGraph.html#manim.mobject.graph.DiGraph "manim.mobject.graph.DiGraph") Parameters: * **vertices** (_Sequence__\[__Hashable__\]_) – A list of vertices. Must be hashable elements. * **edges** (_Sequence__\[__tuple__\[__Hashable__,_ _Hashable__\]__\]_) – A list of edges, specified as tuples `(u, v)` where both `u` and `v` are vertices. * **labels** (_bool_ _|_ _dict_) – Controls whether or not vertices are labeled. If `False` (the default), the vertices are not labeled; if `True` they are labeled using their names (as specified in `vertices`) via [`MathTex`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.text.tex_mobject.MathTex.html#manim.mobject.text.tex_mobject.MathTex "manim.mobject.text.tex_mobject.MathTex") . Alternatively, custom labels can be specified by passing a dictionary whose keys are the vertices, and whose values are the corresponding vertex labels (rendered via, e.g., [`Text`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.text.text_mobject.Text.html#manim.mobject.text.text_mobject.Text "manim.mobject.text.text_mobject.Text") or [`Tex`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.text.tex_mobject.Tex.html#manim.mobject.text.tex_mobject.Tex "manim.mobject.text.tex_mobject.Tex") ). * **label\_fill\_color** (_str_) – Sets the fill color of the default labels generated when `labels` is set to `True`. Has no effect for other values of `labels`. * **layout** (_LayoutName_ _|_ _dict__\[__Hashable__,_ [_Point3DLike_](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#manim.typing.Point3DLike "manim.typing.Point3DLike")\ _\]_ _|_ [_LayoutFunction_](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.graph.LayoutFunction.html#manim.mobject.graph.LayoutFunction "manim.mobject.graph.LayoutFunction") ) – Either one of `"spring"` (the default), `"circular"`, `"kamada_kawai"`, `"planar"`, `"random"`, `"shell"`, `"spectral"`, `"spiral"`, `"tree"`, and `"partite"` for automatic vertex positioning primarily using `networkx` (see [their documentation](https://networkx.org/documentation/stable/reference/drawing.html#module-networkx.drawing.layout) for more details), a dictionary specifying a coordinate (value) for each vertex (key) for manual positioning, or a .:class:~.LayoutFunction with a user-defined automatic layout. * **layout\_config** (_dict_ _|_ _None_) – Only for automatic layouts. A dictionary whose entries are passed as keyword arguments to the named layout or automatic layout function specified via `layout`. The `tree` layout also accepts a special parameter `vertex_spacing` passed as a keyword argument inside the `layout_config` dictionary. Passing a tuple `(space_x, space_y)` as this argument overrides the value of `layout_scale` and ensures that vertices are arranged in a way such that the centers of siblings in the same layer are at least `space_x` units apart horizontally, and neighboring layers are spaced `space_y` units vertically. * **layout\_scale** (_float_ _|_ _tuple__\[__float__,_ _float__,_ _float__\]_) – The scale of automatically generated layouts: the vertices will be arranged such that the coordinates are located within the interval `[-scale, scale]`. Some layouts accept a tuple `(scale_x, scale_y)` causing the first coordinate to be in the interval `[-scale_x, scale_x]`, and the second in `[-scale_y, scale_y]`. Default: 2. * **vertex\_type** (_type__\[_[_Mobject_](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject.html#manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject "manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject")\ _\]_) – The mobject class used for displaying vertices in the scene. * **vertex\_config** (_dict_ _|_ _None_) – Either a dictionary containing keyword arguments to be passed to the class specified via `vertex_type`, or a dictionary whose keys are the vertices, and whose values are dictionaries containing keyword arguments for the mobject related to the corresponding vertex. * **vertex\_mobjects** (_dict_ _|_ _None_) – A dictionary whose keys are the vertices, and whose values are mobjects to be used as vertices. Passing vertices here overrides all other configuration options for a vertex. * **edge\_type** (_type__\[_[_Mobject_](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject.html#manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject "manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject")\ _\]_) – The mobject class used for displaying edges in the scene. Must be a subclass of [`Line`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.geometry.line.Line.html#manim.mobject.geometry.line.Line "manim.mobject.geometry.line.Line") for default updaters to work. * **edge\_config** (_dict_ _|_ _None_) – Either a dictionary containing keyword arguments to be passed to the class specified via `edge_type`, or a dictionary whose keys are the edges, and whose values are dictionaries containing keyword arguments for the mobject related to the corresponding edge. * **partitions** (_Sequence__\[__Sequence__\[__Hashable__\]__\]_ _|_ _None_) * **root\_vertex** (_Hashable_ _|_ _None_) Methods | | | | --- | --- | | [`add_edges`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.graph.GenericGraph.html#manim.mobject.graph.GenericGraph.add_edges "manim.mobject.graph.GenericGraph.add_edges") | Add new edges to the graph. | | [`add_vertices`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.graph.GenericGraph.html#manim.mobject.graph.GenericGraph.add_vertices "manim.mobject.graph.GenericGraph.add_vertices") | Add a list of vertices to the graph. | | [`change_layout`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.graph.GenericGraph.html#manim.mobject.graph.GenericGraph.change_layout "manim.mobject.graph.GenericGraph.change_layout") | Change the layout of this graph. | | [`from_networkx`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.graph.GenericGraph.html#manim.mobject.graph.GenericGraph.from_networkx "manim.mobject.graph.GenericGraph.from_networkx") | Build a [`Graph`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.graph.Graph.html#manim.mobject.graph.Graph "manim.mobject.graph.Graph")

Parameters: * **line1** ([_Line_](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.geometry.line.Line.html#manim.mobject.geometry.line.Line "manim.mobject.geometry.line.Line") ) – The first line. * **line2** ([_Line_](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.geometry.line.Line.html#manim.mobject.geometry.line.Line "manim.mobject.geometry.line.Line") ) – The second line. * **radius** (_float_ _|_ _None_) – The radius of the `Arc`. * **quadrant** ([_AngleQuadrant_](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.geometry.line.html#manim.mobject.geometry.line.AngleQuadrant "manim.mobject.geometry.line.AngleQuadrant") ) – A sequence of two `int` numbers determining which of the 4 quadrants should be used. The first value indicates whether to anchor the arc on the first line closer to the end point (1) or start point (-1), and the second value functions similarly for the end (1) or start (-1) of the second line. Possibilities: (1,1), (-1,1), (1,-1), (-1,-1). * **other\_angle** (_bool_) – Toggles between the two possible angles defined by two points and an arc center. If set to False (default), the arc will always go counterclockwise from the point on line1 until the point on line2 is reached. If set to True, the angle will go clockwise from line1 to line2. * **dot** (_bool_) – Allows for a `Dot` in the arc. Mainly used as an convention to indicate a right angle. The dot can be customized in the next three parameters. * **dot\_radius** (_float_ _|_ _None_) – The radius of the `Dot`. If not specified otherwise, this radius will be 1/10 of the arc radius. * **dot\_distance** (_float_) – Relative distance from the center to the arc: 0 puts the dot in the center and 1 on the arc itself. * **dot\_color** ([_ParsableManimColor_](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.utils.color.core.html#manim.utils.color.core.ParsableManimColor "manim.utils.color.core.ParsableManimColor") ) – The color of the `Dot`. * **elbow** (_bool_) – Produces an elbow-type mobject indicating a right angle, see [`RightAngle`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.geometry.line.RightAngle.html#manim.mobject.geometry.line.RightAngle "manim.mobject.geometry.line.RightAngle") for more information and a shorthand. * **\*\*kwargs** (_Any_) – Further keyword arguments that are passed to the constructor of `Arc` or [`Elbow`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.geometry.line.Elbow.html#manim.mobject.geometry.line.Elbow "manim.mobject.geometry.line.Elbow") .

The graph comes with an updater which makes the edges stick to the vertices when moved around. See [`DiGraph`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.graph.DiGraph.html#manim.mobject.graph.DiGraph "manim.mobject.graph.DiGraph") for a version with directed edges. See also [`GenericGraph`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.graph.GenericGraph.html#manim.mobject.graph.GenericGraph "manim.mobject.graph.GenericGraph") Parameters: * **vertices** (_Sequence__\[__Hashable__\]_) – A list of vertices. Must be hashable elements. * **edges** (_Sequence__\[__tuple__\[__Hashable__,_ _Hashable__\]__\]_) – A list of edges, specified as tuples `(u, v)` where both `u` and `v` are vertices. The vertex order is irrelevant. * **labels** (_bool_ _|_ _dict_) – Controls whether or not vertices are labeled. If `False` (the default), the vertices are not labeled; if `True` they are labeled using their names (as specified in `vertices`) via [`MathTex`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.text.tex_mobject.MathTex.html#manim.mobject.text.tex_mobject.MathTex "manim.mobject.text.tex_mobject.MathTex") . Alternatively, custom labels can be specified by passing a dictionary whose keys are the vertices, and whose values are the corresponding vertex labels (rendered via, e.g., [`Text`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.text.text_mobject.Text.html#manim.mobject.text.text_mobject.Text "manim.mobject.text.text_mobject.Text") or [`Tex`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.text.tex_mobject.Tex.html#manim.mobject.text.tex_mobject.Tex "manim.mobject.text.tex_mobject.Tex") ). * **label\_fill\_color** (_str_) – Sets the fill color of the default labels generated when `labels` is set to `True`. Has no effect for other values of `labels`. * **layout** (_LayoutName_ _|_ _dict__\[__Hashable__,_ [_Point3DLike_](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#manim.typing.Point3DLike "manim.typing.Point3DLike")\ _\]_ _|_ [_LayoutFunction_](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.graph.LayoutFunction.html#manim.mobject.graph.LayoutFunction "manim.mobject.graph.LayoutFunction") ) – Either one of `"spring"` (the default), `"circular"`, `"kamada_kawai"`, `"planar"`, `"random"`, `"shell"`, `"spectral"`, `"spiral"`, `"tree"`, and `"partite"` for automatic vertex positioning using `networkx` (see [their documentation](https://networkx.org/documentation/stable/reference/drawing.html#module-networkx.drawing.layout) for more details), or a dictionary specifying a coordinate (value) for each vertex (key) for manual positioning. * **layout\_config** (_dict_ _|_ _None_) – Only for automatically generated layouts. A dictionary whose entries are passed as keyword arguments to the automatic layout algorithm specified via `layout` of `networkx`. The `tree` layout also accepts a special parameter `vertex_spacing` passed as a keyword argument inside the `layout_config` dictionary. Passing a tuple `(space_x, space_y)` as this argument overrides the value of `layout_scale` and ensures that vertices are arranged in a way such that the centers of siblings in the same layer are at least `space_x` units apart horizontally, and neighboring layers are spaced `space_y` units vertically. * **layout\_scale** (_float_ _|_ _tuple__\[__float__,_ _float__,_ _float__\]_) – The scale of automatically generated layouts: the vertices will be arranged such that the coordinates are located within the interval `[-scale, scale]`. Some layouts accept a tuple `(scale_x, scale_y)` causing the first coordinate to be in the interval `[-scale_x, scale_x]`, and the second in `[-scale_y, scale_y]`. Default: 2. * **vertex\_type** (_type__\[_[_Mobject_](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject.html#manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject "manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject")\ _\]_) – The mobject class used for displaying vertices in the scene. * **vertex\_config** (_dict_ _|_ _None_) – Either a dictionary containing keyword arguments to be passed to the class specified via `vertex_type`, or a dictionary whose keys are the vertices, and whose values are dictionaries containing keyword arguments for the mobject related to the corresponding vertex. * **vertex\_mobjects** (_dict_ _|_ _None_) – A dictionary whose keys are the vertices, and whose values are mobjects to be used as vertices. Passing vertices here overrides all other configuration options for a vertex. * **edge\_type** (_type__\[_[_Mobject_](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject.html#manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject "manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject")\ _\]_) – The mobject class used for displaying edges in the scene. * **edge\_config** (_dict_ _|_ _None_) – Either a dictionary containing keyword arguments to be passed to the class specified via `edge_type`, or a dictionary whose keys are the edges, and whose values are dictionaries containing keyword arguments for the mobject related to the corresponding edge. * **partitions** (_Sequence__\[__Sequence__\[__Hashable__\]__\]_ _|_ _None_) * **root\_vertex** (_Hashable_ _|_ _None_) Examples First, we create a small graph and demonstrate that the edges move together with the vertices.

Note In `edge_config`, edges can be passed in both directions: if `(u, v)` is an edge in the graph, both `(u, v)` as well as `(v, u)` can be used as keys in the dictionary.

Note All vertices in your graph which are not listed in any of the partitions are collected in their own partition and rendered in the rightmost column. Example: PartiteGraph [¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.graph.Graph.html#partitegraph) ![../_images/PartiteGraph-1.png](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/_images/PartiteGraph-1.png) from manim import \* import networkx as nx class PartiteGraph(Scene): def construct(self): G \= nx.Graph() G.add\_nodes\_from(\[0, 1, 2, 3\]) G.add\_edges\_from(\[(0, 2), (0,3), (1, 2)\]) graph \= Graph(list(G.nodes), list(G.edges), layout\="partite", partitions\=\[\[0, 1\]\]) self.play(Create(graph)) import networkx as nx class PartiteGraph(Scene): def construct(self): G = nx.Graph() G.add\_nodes\_from(\[0, 1, 2, 3\]) G.add\_edges\_from(\[(0, 2), (0,3), (1, 2)\]) graph = Graph(list(G.nodes), list(G.edges), layout="partite", partitions=\[\[0, 1\]\]) self.play(Create(graph)) The representation of a linear artificial neural network is facilitated by the use of the partite layout and defining partitions for each layer. Example: LinearNN [¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.graph.Graph.html#linearnn) ![../_images/LinearNN-1.png](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/_images/LinearNN-1.png) from manim import \* class LinearNN(Scene): def construct(self): edges \= \[\] partitions \= \[\] c \= 0 layers \= \[2, 3, 3, 2\] \# the number of neurons in each layer for i in layers: partitions.append(list(range(c + 1, c + i + 1))) c += i for i, v in enumerate(layers\[1:\]): last \= sum(layers\[:i+1\]) for j in range(v): for k in range(last \- layers\[i\], last): edges.append((k + 1, j + last + 1)) vertices \= np.arange(1, sum(layers) + 1) graph \= Graph( vertices, edges, layout\='partite', partitions\=partitions, layout\_scale\=3, vertex\_config\={'radius': 0.20}, ) self.add(graph) class LinearNN(Scene): def construct(self): edges = \[\] partitions = \[\] c = 0 layers = \[2, 3, 3, 2\] # the number of neurons in each layer for i in layers: partitions.append(list(range(c + 1, c + i + 1))) c += i for i, v in enumerate(layers\[1:\]): last = sum(layers\[:i+1\]) for j in range(v): for k in range(last - layers\[i\], last): edges.append((k + 1, j + last + 1)) vertices = np.arange(1, sum(layers) + 1) graph = Graph( vertices, edges, layout='partite', partitions=partitions, layout\_scale=3, vertex\_config={'radius': 0.20}, ) self.add(graph) The custom tree layout can be used to show the graph by distance from the root vertex. You must pass the root vertex of the tree.

As mentioned above, setting `vertex_spacing` overrides the specified value for `layout_scale`, and as such it is harder to control the size of the mobject.

If this behavior is not desired, you should use [`add_updater()`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject.html#manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject.add_updater "manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject.add_updater") directly. Warning Chaining of methods is allowed, but each method will be added as its own updater. If you are chaining methods, make sure they do not interfere with each other or you may get unexpected results. Warning [`always`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject.html#manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject.always "manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject.always") is not compatible with [`ValueTracker.get_value()`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.value_tracker.ValueTracker.html#manim.mobject.value_tracker.ValueTracker.get_value "manim.mobject.value_tracker.ValueTracker.get_value") , because the value will be computed once and then never updated again. Use [`add_updater()`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject.html#manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject.add_updater "manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject.add_updater") if you would like to use a [`ValueTracker`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.value_tracker.ValueTracker.html#manim.mobject.value_tracker.ValueTracker "manim.mobject.value_tracker.ValueTracker") to update the value.

Any method called on `animate` is converted to an animation of applying that method on the mobject itself. For example, `square.set_fill(WHITE)` sets the fill color of a square, while `square.animate.set_fill(WHITE)` animates this action. Multiple methods can be put in a single animation once via chaining: self.play(my\_mobject.animate.shift(RIGHT).rotate(PI)) Warning Passing multiple animations for the same [`Mobject`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject.html#manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject "manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject") in one call to [`play()`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.scene.scene.Scene.html#manim.scene.scene.Scene.play "manim.scene.scene.Scene.play") is discouraged and will most likely not work properly. Instead of writing an animation like self.play( my\_mobject.animate.shift(RIGHT), my\_mobject.animate.rotate(PI) ) make use of method chaining. Keyword arguments that can be passed to [`Scene.play()`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.scene.scene.Scene.html#manim.scene.scene.Scene.play "manim.scene.scene.Scene.play") can be passed directly after accessing `.animate`, like so: self.play(my\_mobject.animate(rate\_func\=linear).shift(RIGHT)) This is especially useful when animating simultaneous `.animate` calls that you want to behave differently: self.play( mobject1.animate(run\_time\=2).rotate(PI), mobject2.animate(rate\_func\=there\_and\_back).shift(RIGHT), ) See also [`override_animate()`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.mobject.html#manim.mobject.mobject.override_animate "manim.mobject.mobject.override_animate") Examples Example: AnimateExample [¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject.html#animateexample) from manim import \* class AnimateExample(Scene): def construct(self): s \= Square() self.play(Create(s)) self.play(s.animate.shift(RIGHT)) self.play(s.animate.scale(2)) self.play(s.animate.rotate(PI / 2)) self.play(Uncreate(s)) class AnimateExample(Scene): def construct(self): s = Square() self.play(Create(s)) self.play(s.animate.shift(RIGHT)) self.play(s.animate.scale(2)) self.play(s.animate.rotate(PI / 2)) self.play(Uncreate(s)) Example: AnimateChainExample [¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject.html#animatechainexample) from manim import \* class AnimateChainExample(Scene): def construct(self): s \= Square() self.play(Create(s)) self.play(s.animate.shift(RIGHT).scale(2).rotate(PI / 2)) self.play(Uncreate(s)) class AnimateChainExample(Scene): def construct(self): s = Square() self.play(Create(s)) self.play(s.animate.shift(RIGHT).scale(2).rotate(PI / 2)) self.play(Uncreate(s)) Example: AnimateWithArgsExample [¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject.html#animatewithargsexample) from manim import \* class AnimateWithArgsExample(Scene): def construct(self): s \= Square() c \= Circle() VGroup(s, c).arrange(RIGHT, buff\=2) self.add(s, c) self.play( s.animate(run\_time\=2).rotate(PI / 2), c.animate(rate\_func\=there\_and\_back).shift(RIGHT), ) class AnimateWithArgsExample(Scene): def construct(self): s = Square() c = Circle() VGroup(s, c).arrange(RIGHT, buff=2) self.add(s, c) self.play( s.animate(run\_time=2).rotate(PI / 2), c.animate(rate\_func=there\_and\_back).shift(RIGHT), ) Warning `.animate` will interpolate the [`Mobject`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject.html#manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject "manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject") between its points prior to `.animate` and its points after applying `.animate` to it.

I.e. `my_mobject.set(foo=1)` applies `my_mobject.foo = 1`.

In addition to this method, there is a compatibility layer that allows `get_*` and `set_*` methods to get and set generic attributes. For instance: \>>> mob \= Mobject() \>>> mob.set\_foo(0) Mobject \>>> mob.get\_foo() 0 \>>> mob.foo 0 This compatibility layer does not interfere with any `get_*` or `set_*` methods that are explicitly defined. Warning This compatibility layer is for backwards compatibility and is not guaranteed to stay around.

It’s functionality is moved to [`StreamLines`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.vector_field.StreamLines.html#manim.mobject.vector_field.StreamLines "manim.mobject.vector_field.StreamLines") . Added a lot of new options when working with vector fields. [`ShowPassingFlashWithThinningStrokeWidth`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.animation.indication.ShowPassingFlashWithThinningStrokeWidth.html#manim.animation.indication.ShowPassingFlashWithThinningStrokeWidth "manim.animation.indication.ShowPassingFlashWithThinningStrokeWidth") was moved to the indication module. * [PR #1161](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1161) : Upgrades to CoordinateSystem and graphing. Breaking changes were introduced to [`Axes`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.graphing.coordinate_systems.Axes.html#manim.mobject.graphing.coordinate_systems.Axes "manim.mobject.graphing.coordinate_systems.Axes") , [`ThreeDAxes`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.graphing.coordinate_systems.ThreeDAxes.html#manim.mobject.graphing.coordinate_systems.ThreeDAxes "manim.mobject.graphing.coordinate_systems.ThreeDAxes") , [`NumberPlane`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.graphing.coordinate_systems.NumberPlane.html#manim.mobject.graphing.coordinate_systems.NumberPlane "manim.mobject.graphing.coordinate_systems.NumberPlane") and [`NumberLine`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.graphing.number_line.NumberLine.html#manim.mobject.graphing.number_line.NumberLine "manim.mobject.graphing.number_line.NumberLine") All the above now use lists to construct their ranges as opposed to explicitly defining these values. x\_range has replaced x\_min, x\_max and defining the step is much easier with x\_step –> `x_range` : `[x_min, x_max, x_step]`. There were also many upgrades to these classes which improve their functionality and appearance. `NumberLineOld` was introduced to continue support for `GraphScene`, although we are moving away from GraphScene and intend to deprecate it in a future release. * [PR #1013](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1013) : Refactored the Command Line Interface to use Click instead of Argparse This change breaks the CLI API to organize the structure of Manim Community’s commands, options, and arguments. To be more in line with POSIX compliant CLI conventions, options for commands are given _BEFORE_ their arguments. In Argparse: `manim basic.py -p -ql` With Click: `manim -p -ql basic.py` Although this is primarily a refactor and most of the common options are still there, some options have been added/removed. Use the `manim` command’s `--help` option, or simply run the command without providing options/arguments to view the help page with the full list of subcommands/options/arguments. * Added a `--fps`/`--frame_rate` option which allows for custom fps that don’t have to be integer (i.e. 29.97, 23.98, etc.). Users no longer have to specify the FPS from within a config file. Additionally, the `--webgl_renderer_fps` option has been removed. Use `--fps` or `--frame_rate` instead. * Added a `--renderer` option which you can use to select your choice of renderer (e.g. `--renderer=opengl`). There are currently _THREE_ renderers to choose from! * Removed the `--background_color` option. Reassigned the `--background_color` option’s shorthand `-c` to `--config_file`. * Removed the `--leave_progress_bars` option. Use `--progress_bars=leave` instead. * Removed the deprecated render quality flags, in particular: `-l`, `-m`, `-h`, `-k`. * Removed the `--sound` option. It lost support long ago with the removal of SoX. ### Deprecated classes and functions[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.6.0-changelog.html#deprecated-classes-and-functions "Link to this heading") * [PR #1431](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1431) : Fix CLI bugs * Fixed conflict with `-f` which was previously assigned to both `--show_in_file_browser` and `--format` by removing `-f` from `--format`. A warning is issued that `-f` will soon move to `--format`. * Added back in flags to render the files as gif/last frame. Deprecated them in favor of `--format`. * Fixed the broken `--output_file`/`-o` option. * Fixed an issue where the `-qh` quality option was interpreted as `-q` `-h`, prompting the help page. * [PR #1354](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1354) : Refactored a few functions in space\_ops.py, deprecated `angle_between()` * [PR #1370](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1370) : Remove TexMobject and TextMobject TexMobject and TextMobject have been deprecated for a while, they are now fully removed. Use Tex or MathTex instead. * [PR #1349](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1349) : Removed the deprecated `SmallDot` mobject * [PR #1259](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1259) : Removed deprecated CairoText class ### New features[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.6.0-changelog.html#new-features "Link to this heading") * [PR #1386](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1386) : Implement utility methods for adding/removing vertices and edges of graphs; allow custom mobjects as vertices * [PR #1385](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1385) : Added `get_line_graph()` for plotting a line graph Added `get_line_graph()` that returns a line graph from lists of points along x, y and z (optional) axes. * [PR #1381](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1381) : Hot reloading for the OpenGL renderer Rerun scene when the input file is modified * [PR #1383](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1383) : Overhaul of the [`indication`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.animation.indication.html#module-manim.animation.indication "manim.animation.indication") module interfaces * Added class Circumscribe combining functionality of CircleIndicate, AnimationOnSurroundingRectangle, ShowPassingFlashAround, ShowCreationThenDestructionAround, ShowCreationThenFadeAround, which have all been deprecated. * Changes to Flash: flash\_radius parameter now defines inner radius of the animation.

When this flag is passed, you can pass the `-p` flag to preview animations, the `-w` flag to generate video, and the `-q` flag to specify render quality. If you don’t pass either the `-p` or the `-w` flag, nothing will happen. Scenes rendered with the OpenGL renderer must _only_ use OpenGL-enabled Mobjects. ### Deprecated classes and functions[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.5.0-changelog.html#deprecated-classes-and-functions "Link to this heading") * [PR #1124](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1124) : Deprecated `ShowCreation` in favor of `Create` 1. Deprecated `ShowCreation` in favor of `Create` across the library with the exception of the show\_creation boolean variable vector\_space\_scene.py 2.

This will be removed in a future release. ### New features[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.5.0-changelog.html#new-features "Link to this heading") * [PR #1037](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1037) : Added new fade and transform animations ([`TransformMatchingShapes`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.animation.transform_matching_parts.TransformMatchingShapes.html#manim.animation.transform_matching_parts.TransformMatchingShapes "manim.animation.transform_matching_parts.TransformMatchingShapes") , [`TransformMatchingTex`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.animation.transform_matching_parts.TransformMatchingTex.html#manim.animation.transform_matching_parts.TransformMatchingTex "manim.animation.transform_matching_parts.TransformMatchingTex") , [`FadeTransform`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.animation.transform.FadeTransform.html#manim.animation.transform.FadeTransform "manim.animation.transform.FadeTransform") ) from 3b1b/manim Added new Fade animation: `FadeOutToPoint` Added `FadeTransform` and `FadeTransformPieces` for transforming mobjects and submobjects with a fade Added `TransformMatchingShapes` and `TransformMatchingTex` for transforming mobjects and tex that have matching parts * [PR #1097](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1097) : Added 3D Mobject [`Dot3D`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.three_d.three_dimensions.Dot3D.html#manim.mobject.three_d.three_dimensions.Dot3D "manim.mobject.three_d.three_dimensions.Dot3D") * [PR #1074](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1074) : Added jupyter media\_width option to the config * [PR #1107](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1107) : Added [`Unwrite`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.animation.creation.Unwrite.html#manim.animation.creation.Unwrite "manim.animation.creation.Unwrite") animation class to complement [`Write`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.animation.creation.Write.html#manim.animation.creation.Write "manim.animation.creation.Write") Added `Unwrite` which inherits from [`Write`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.animation.creation.Write.html#manim.animation.creation.Write "manim.animation.creation.Write") . It automatically reverses the animation of [`Write`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.animation.creation.Write.html#manim.animation.creation.Write "manim.animation.creation.Write") by passing the reversed rate function, but it also takes an additional boolean parameter reverse which, if False, renders the animation from left to right (assuming text oriented in the usual way), but if True, it renders right to left. * [PR #1085](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1085) : Added [`Angle`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.geometry.line.Angle.html#manim.mobject.geometry.line.Angle "manim.mobject.geometry.line.Angle") and [`RightAngle`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.geometry.line.RightAngle.html#manim.mobject.geometry.line.RightAngle "manim.mobject.geometry.line.RightAngle") for intersecting lines [`Angle`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.geometry.line.Angle.html#manim.mobject.geometry.line.Angle "manim.mobject.geometry.line.Angle") and [`RightAngle`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.geometry.line.RightAngle.html#manim.mobject.geometry.line.RightAngle "manim.mobject.geometry.line.RightAngle") both take two lines as input. If they intersect, or share a common vertex, an angle is drawn between them. Users can customize the look of the angle and also use a dotted right angle. ### Enhancements[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.5.0-changelog.html#enhancements "Link to this heading") * [PR #1144](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1144) : Improved quality of GIFs * [PR #1157](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1157) : Refresh triangulation on call to `apply_points_function()` Rotate called apply\_points\_function, which was previous not subclassed by OpenGLMobject - now it is. Then, the vertex normals can be updated too. Additionally, the old\_points matrix would change after rotating, making the old points / new points test irrelevant. This is addressed with a .copy call. * [PR #1151](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1151) : Added parametric function support to `OpenGLSurface` * [PR #1139](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1139) : In-Code config\[“preview”\] Support * [PR #1123](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1123) : Added caching, skipping, and user-specified background colors to the OpenGL renderer OpenGL play logic has been improved to support caching and skipping with \-n argument ( it is now similar to Cairo play logic). A random bug was fixed in OpenGLSurface and OpenGL background color can now be changed via background\_color argument. * [PR #1118](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1118) : Allow passing animation arguments with .animate syntax Users will now be able to do things like obj.animate(run\_time=2).method(arg) if they want to specify animation arguments for an individual .animate call, and can still not specify any arguments like obj.animate.method(arg). Passing animation arguments is only allowed directly after .animate is accessed, if passed elsewhere then a ValueError is raised. * [PR #718](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/718) : Rotating the numbers in y axis In Axes, the y axis will be rotated 90deg but the numbers are also rotated and shouldn’t be. Fixes this issue. * [PR #1070](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1070) : Raise FileNotFoundError when unable to locate the .cfg file specified via `--config_file` Raising the error will stop script execution and let the user know that there are problems with the –config\_file location instead of reverting back to the default configuration. ### Fixed bugs[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.5.0-changelog.html#fixed-bugs "Link to this heading") * [PR #1224](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1224) : Fixed [`ShowIncreasingSubsets`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.animation.creation.ShowIncreasingSubsets.html#manim.animation.creation.ShowIncreasingSubsets "manim.animation.creation.ShowIncreasingSubsets") , [`ShowSubmobjectsOneByOne`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.animation.creation.ShowSubmobjectsOneByOne.html#manim.animation.creation.ShowSubmobjectsOneByOne "manim.animation.creation.ShowSubmobjectsOneByOne") , and [`AddTextLetterByLetter`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.animation.creation.AddTextLetterByLetter.html#manim.animation.creation.AddTextLetterByLetter "manim.animation.creation.AddTextLetterByLetter") * [PR #1201](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1201) : Prevent crash on `embed()` for empty scenes * [PR #1192](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1192) : Fixed issue when an animation is cached, manim can’t merge the partial movie files. * [PR #1193](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1193) : Fixed using [`Animation`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.animation.animation.Animation.html#manim.animation.animation.Animation "manim.animation.animation.Animation") without a child [`Mobject`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject.html#manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject "manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject") in [`AnimationGroup`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.animation.composition.AnimationGroup.html#manim.animation.composition.AnimationGroup "manim.animation.composition.AnimationGroup") AnimationGroup may now take Animation objects which do not have a child Mobject, such as Wait. * [PR #1170](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1170) : Fixed minor SVG parsing bugs * [PR #1159](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1159) : Added support for multiple transforms in the same SVG element * [PR #1156](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1156) : Fixed [`DrawBorderThenFill`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.animation.creation.DrawBorderThenFill.html#manim.animation.creation.DrawBorderThenFill "manim.animation.creation.DrawBorderThenFill") to support OpenGL and improved type hints for some functions Fixed a bug in [`DrawBorderThenFill`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.animation.creation.DrawBorderThenFill.html#manim.animation.creation.DrawBorderThenFill "manim.animation.creation.DrawBorderThenFill") that prevented [`Write`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.animation.creation.Write.html#manim.animation.creation.Write "manim.animation.creation.Write") animations from working with `OpenGLVMobjects` and slightly improved type hints for some animation functions to include `OpenGLVMobject`. * [PR #1134](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1134) : Fixed the \-a flag. The `-a` / `--write-all` flag was broken. When used, it would cause Manim to crash just after beginning to render the second scene. * [PR #1115](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1115) : Fixed bugs in `OpenGLMobject` and added `ApplyMethod` support Fixed undefined variables and converted `Mobject` to `OpenGLMobject`. Also, fixed assert statement in `ApplyMethod`. * [PR #1092](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1092) : Refactored coordinate\_systems.py, fixed bugs, added [`NumberPlane`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.graphing.coordinate_systems.NumberPlane.html#manim.mobject.graphing.coordinate_systems.NumberPlane "manim.mobject.graphing.coordinate_systems.NumberPlane") test The default behavior of [`rotate()`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject.html#manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject.rotate "manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject.rotate") is to rotate about the center of [`Mobject`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject.html#manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject "manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject") .

Ideally, the rotation should coincide with the point at number 0 on the line. Added a regression test and additionally fixed some bugs introduced in [PR #718](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/718) . * [PR #1078](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1078) : Removed stray print statements from \_\_main\_\_.py Uses rich’s print traceback instead and fixes an issue in printing the version twice when manim –version is called. * [PR #1086](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1086) : Fixed broken line spacing in [`Text`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.text.text_mobject.Text.html#manim.mobject.text.text_mobject.Text "manim.mobject.text.text_mobject.Text") The line\_spacing kwarg was missing when creating `Text` Mobjects; this adds it. * [PR #1083](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1083) : Corrected the shape of [`Torus`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.three_d.three_dimensions.Torus.html#manim.mobject.three_d.three_dimensions.Torus "manim.mobject.three_d.three_dimensions.Torus") `Torus` draws a surface with an elliptical cross-section when minor\_radius is different from 1. This PR ensures the cross-section is always a circle. ### Documentation-related changes[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.5.0-changelog.html#documentation-related-changes "Link to this heading") * [PR #1217](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1217) : Copyedited the document on testing in our documentation * [PR #1206](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1206) : Added Docstrings to [`Mobject`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject.html#manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject "manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject") * [PR #1218](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1218) : Removed BezierSpline from the example gallery * [PR #1219](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1219) : Updated Dockerfile (include dependencies for building documentation), moved documentation to main README * [PR #1209](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/1209) : Added :ref\_methods: to the manim directive This allows class methods to be linked in the documentation.

This also adds hundreds of new predefined colors, see [`utils.color`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.utils.color.html#module-manim.utils.color "manim.utils.color") for more details. This should only be a breaking change if you have interacted directly with the `colour` module before. The general interface has been kept stable. ### Highlights[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.18.0-changelog.html#highlights "Link to this heading") * [PR #3299](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/3299) : Added new `manim checkhealth` CLI subcommand This adds a new command line interface subcommand which can be used to check whether a local installation of Manim has been configured correctly, and all required (and optional) dependencies are available. To try it, run it via `manim checkhealth` or `python -m manim checkhealth`. * [PR #3427](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/3427) : New feature: rendered examples in documentation can now be run directly via binder This adds a “Make interactive” button below the examples in our documentation that establishes a connection to binder such that examples can be modified and rerendered directly from your browser. * [PR #3086](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/3086) : Introduced a new module [`typing`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#module-manim.typing "manim.typing") for type hints This also adds various type hints to integral parts of the code base. * [PR #3322](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/3322) : Implemented auto-removal of auxiliary LaTeX files, enabled by default This automatically removes auxiliary files creating during the compilation of LaTeX documents like `.aux` or `.dvi` files. This behavior can be controlled via the newly introduced `no_latex_cleanup` config key (`False` by default). On the command line, the autoremoval can be disabled via the `--no_latex_cleanup` CLI flag. * [PR #3395](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/3395) : Added support for Python 3.12 ### New features[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.18.0-changelog.html#new-features "Link to this heading") * [PR #3361](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/3361) : Added three new rate functions This adds the rate functions [`smoothstep()`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.utils.rate_functions.html#manim.utils.rate_functions.smoothstep "manim.utils.rate_functions.smoothstep") , [`smootherstep()`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.utils.rate_functions.html#manim.utils.rate_functions.smootherstep "manim.utils.rate_functions.smootherstep") , [`smoothererstep()`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.utils.rate_functions.html#manim.utils.rate_functions.smoothererstep "manim.utils.rate_functions.smoothererstep") based on the SmoothStep sigmoid functions. * [PR #3264](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/3264) : Added new mobjects [`LabeledLine`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.geometry.labeled.LabeledLine.html#manim.mobject.geometry.labeled.LabeledLine "manim.mobject.geometry.labeled.LabeledLine") and [`LabeledArrow`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.geometry.labeled.LabeledArrow.html#manim.mobject.geometry.labeled.LabeledArrow "manim.mobject.geometry.labeled.LabeledArrow") ### Enhancements[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.18.0-changelog.html#enhancements "Link to this heading") * [PR #3190](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/3190) : Made [`CurvesAsSubmobjects`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.types.vectorized_mobject.CurvesAsSubmobjects.html#manim.mobject.types.vectorized_mobject.CurvesAsSubmobjects "manim.mobject.types.vectorized_mobject.CurvesAsSubmobjects") mobjects compatible with [`input_to_graph_point()`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.graphing.coordinate_systems.CoordinateSystem.html#manim.mobject.graphing.coordinate_systems.CoordinateSystem.input_to_graph_point "manim.mobject.graphing.coordinate_systems.CoordinateSystem.input_to_graph_point") * [PR #3226](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/3226) : Avoid using a mobject as a default argument of [`ArcBrace`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.svg.brace.ArcBrace.html#manim.mobject.svg.brace.ArcBrace "manim.mobject.svg.brace.ArcBrace") * [PR #3366](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/3366) : Added spacing between values and unit in [`DecimalNumber`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.text.numbers.DecimalNumber.html#manim.mobject.text.numbers.DecimalNumber "manim.mobject.text.numbers.DecimalNumber") This adds the new keyword argument `unit_buff_per_font_unit` (default: 0, for backwards compatibility). Setting it to some positive number creates additional space between the numeric value and the displayed unit. ### Fixed bugs[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.18.0-changelog.html#fixed-bugs "Link to this heading") * [PR #3205](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/3205) : Fixed type hint of

Works as a line or cell magic. Hint This line and cell magic works best when used in a JupyterLab environment: while all of the functionality is available for classic Jupyter notebooks as well, it is possible that videos sometimes don’t update on repeated execution of the same cell if the scene name stays the same. This problem does not occur when using JupyterLab. Please refer to [https://jupyter.org/](https://jupyter.org/) for more information about JupyterLab and Jupyter notebooks. Usage in line mode: %manim \[CLI options\] MyAwesomeScene Usage in cell mode: %%manim \[CLI options\] MyAwesomeScene class MyAweseomeScene(Scene): def construct(self): ... Run `%manim --help` and `%manim render --help` for possible command line interface options. Note The maximal width of the rendered videos that are displayed in the notebook can be configured via the `media_width` configuration option. The default is set to `25vw`, which is 25% of your current viewport width. To allow the output to become as large as possible, set `config.media_width = "100%"`. The `media_embed` option will embed the image/video output in the notebook. This is generally undesirable as it makes the notebooks very large, but is required on some platforms (notably Google’s CoLab, where it is automatically enabled unless suppressed by `config.embed = False`) and needed in cases when the notebook (or converted HTML file) will be moved relative to the video locations. Use-cases include building documentation with Sphinx and JupyterBook. See also the [`manim directive for Sphinx`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.utils.docbuild.manim_directive.html#module-manim.utils.docbuild.manim_directive "manim.utils.docbuild.manim_directive") . Examples First make sure to put `import manim`, or even `from manim import *` in a cell and evaluate it. Then, a typical Jupyter notebook cell for Manim could look as follows: %%manim \-v WARNING \--disable\_caching \-qm BannerExample config.media\_width \= "75%" config.media\_embed \= True class BannerExample(Scene): def construct(self): self.camera.background\_color \= "#ece6e2" banner\_large \= ManimBanner(dark\_theme\=False).scale(0.7) self.play(banner\_large.create()) self.play(banner\_large.expand()) Evaluating this cell will render and display the `BannerExample` scene defined in the body of the cell. Note In case you want to hide the red box containing the output progress bar, the `progress_bar` config option should be set to `None`. This can also be done by passing `--progress_bar None` as a CLI flag.

Manim now uses the Python library `svgelements` to parse SVGs, instead of trying to do it itself. The former class for SVG path objects, `SVGPathMobject` has been replaced (without deprecation) with [`VMobjectFromSVGPath`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.svg.svg_mobject.VMobjectFromSVGPath.html#manim.mobject.svg.svg_mobject.VMobjectFromSVGPath "manim.mobject.svg.svg_mobject.VMobjectFromSVGPath") . If you need to create a mobject from an SVG path string, you can do so via: import svgelements as se my\_path\_mobject \= VMobjectFromSVGPath(se.Path(my\_path\_string)) The unused class `TexSymbol` has been removed. The modules `manim.mobject.svg.svg_path` and `manim.mobject.svg.style_utils` became superfluous due to the rework and have been removed. * [PR #3030](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/3030) : Added support for Python 3.11, dropped support for Python 3.7 ### Highlights[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.17.0-changelog.html#highlights "Link to this heading") * [PR #3049](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/3049) : Added thematic guide for the `manim-voiceover` plugin This new [thematic guide](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/guides/add_voiceovers.html) provides a brief introduction to `manim-voiceover`, a plugin that helps to add voiceovers to your manimations.

To build the docs locally, open a CLI, enter the `docs/` folder with the `cd` command and execute the following depending on your OS: * Windows: `./make.bat html` * macOS and Linux: `make html` The first time you build the docs, the process will take several minutes because it needs to generate all the `.rst` (reST: reStructured Text) files from scratch by reading and parsing all the Manim content. The process becomes much shorter the next time, as it rebuilds only the parts which have changed. Sphinx library and extensions[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/docs.html#sphinx-library-and-extensions "Link to this heading") ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Manim uses [Sphinx](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/) for building the docs. It also makes use of Sphinx extensions such as: * [Autodoc:](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/extensions/autodoc.html) imports Manim’s Python source code, extracts its docstrings and generates documentation from them. * [Autosummary:](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/extensions/autosummary.html) a complement to Autodoc which adds a special directive `autosummary`, used in Manim to automatically document classes, methods, attributes, functions, module-level variables and exceptions. Autosummary makes use of [Jinja templates](https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/templates/) , which Manim defines for autosummarizing classes and modules inside `docs/source/_templates/`. * [Graphviz extension for Sphinx:](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/extensions/graphviz.html) embeds graphs generated by the [Graphviz](https://graphviz.org/) module, which must be installed in order to render the inheritance diagrams in the [Reference Manual](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference.html) . * [Napoleon:](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/extensions/napoleon.html) enables Sphinx to read Google style docstrings and, in particular for Manim, [NumPy style docstrings](https://numpydoc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/format.html) - see [Adding Docstrings](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/docs/docstrings.html) for more information. Sphinx theme[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/docs.html#sphinx-theme "Link to this heading") ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The theme used for this website is [Furo](https://sphinx-themes.org/sample-sites/furo/) .

As of time of writing (January 2022), the library is still very unoptimized. As such, we highly encourage contributors to help out in optimizing the code. Profiling[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/performance.html#profiling "Link to this heading") -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before the library can be optimized, we first need to identify the bottlenecks in performance via profiling. There are numerous Python profilers available for this purpose; some examples include cProfile and Scalene. ### Running an animation as a script[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/performance.html#running-an-animation-as-a-script "Link to this heading") Most instructions for profilers assume you can run the python file directly as a script from the command line. While Manim animations are usually run from the command-line, we can run them as scripts by adding something like the following to the bottom of the file: with tempconfig({"quality": "medium\_quality", "disable\_caching": True}): scene \= SceneName() scene.render() Where `SceneName` is the name of the scene you want to run. You can then run the file directly, and can thus follow the instructions for most profilers. ### An example: profiling with cProfile and SnakeViz[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/performance.html#an-example-profiling-with-cprofile-and-snakeviz "Link to this heading") Install SnakeViz: pip install snakeviz cProfile is included with in Python’s standard library and does not need to be installed. Suppose we want to profile `SquareToCircle`. Then we add and save the following code to `square_to_circle.py`: from manim import \* class SquareToCircle(Scene): def construct(self): s \= Square() c \= Circle() self.add(s) self.play(Transform(s, c)) with tempconfig({"quality": "medium\_quality", "disable\_caching": True}): scene \= SquareToCircle() scene.render() Now run the following in the terminal: python \-m cProfile \-o square\_to\_circle.txt square\_to\_circle.py This will create a file called `square_to_circle.txt`. Now, we can run SnakeViz on the profile file: snakeviz square\_to\_circle.txt A browser window or tab will open with a visualization of the profile, which should look something like this: ![../_images/snakeviz.png](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/_images/snakeviz.png) --- # v0.14.0 - Manim Community v0.20.1 Contents Menu Expand Light mode Dark mode Auto light/dark, in light mode Auto light/dark, in dark mode [Skip to content](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.14.0-changelog.html#furo-main-content) [Back to top](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.14.0-changelog.html#) [View this page](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/blob/main/docs/source/changelog/0.14.0-changelog.rst?plain=true "View this page") [Edit this page](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/edit/main/docs/source/changelog/0.14.0-changelog.rst "Edit this page") v0.14.0[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.14.0-changelog.html#v0-14-0 "Link to this heading") ================================================================================================================== Date: January 07, 2022 Contributors[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.14.0-changelog.html#contributors "Link to this heading") ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A total of 29 people contributed to this release.

With the large variety of types provided by Manim, choosing which one to use can be difficult. This guide aims to aid you in the process of choosing the right type for the scenario. The first step is figuring out which category your type hint fits into. Coordinates[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/docs/types.html#coordinates "Link to this heading") ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Coordinates encompass two main categories: points, and vectors. ### Points[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/docs/types.html#points "Link to this heading") The purpose of points is pretty straightforward: they represent a point in space. For example: def print\_point2D(coord: Point2DLike) \-> None: x, y \= coord print(f"Point at {x\=},{y\=}") def print\_point3D(coord: Point3DLike) \-> None: x, y, z \= coord print(f"Point at {x\=},{y\=},{z\=}") def print\_point\_array(coords: Point2DLike\_Array | Point3DLike\_Array) \-> None: for coord in coords: if len(coord) \== 2: \# it's a Point2DLike print\_point2D(coord) else: \# it's a Point3DLike print\_point3D(coord) def shift\_point\_up(coord: Point3DLike) \-> Point3D: result \= np.asarray(coord) result += UP print(f"New point: {result}") return result Notice that the last function, `shift_point_up()`, accepts a [`Point3DLike`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#manim.typing.Point3DLike "manim.typing.Point3DLike") as a parameter and returns a [`Point3D`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#manim.typing.Point3D "manim.typing.Point3D") . A [`Point3D`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#manim.typing.Point3D "manim.typing.Point3D") always represents a NumPy array consisting of 3 floats, whereas a [`Point3DLike`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#manim.typing.Point3DLike "manim.typing.Point3DLike") can represent anything resembling a 3D point: either a NumPy array or a tuple/list of 3 floats, hence the `Like` word. The same happens with [`Point2D`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#manim.typing.Point2D "manim.typing.Point2D") , [`Point2D_Array`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#manim.typing.Point2D_Array "manim.typing.Point2D_Array") and [`Point3D_Array`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#manim.typing.Point3D_Array "manim.typing.Point3D_Array") , and their `Like` counterparts [`Point2DLike`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#manim.typing.Point2DLike "manim.typing.Point2DLike") , [`Point2DLike_Array`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#manim.typing.Point2DLike_Array "manim.typing.Point2DLike_Array") and [`Point3DLike_Array`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#manim.typing.Point3DLike_Array "manim.typing.Point3DLike_Array") . The rule for typing functions is: **make parameter types as broad as possible, and return types as specific as possible.** Therefore, for functions which are intended to be called by users, **we should always, if possible, accept** `Like` **types as parameters and return NumPy, non-** `Like` **types.** The main reason is to be more flexible with users who might want to pass tuples or lists as arguments rather than NumPy arrays, because it’s more convenient. The last function, `shift_point_up()`, is an example of it. Internal functions which are _not_ meant to be called by users may accept non-`Like` parameters if necessary. ### Vectors[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/docs/types.html#vectors "Link to this heading") Vectors share many similarities to points. However, they have a different connotation. Vectors should be used to represent direction. For example, consider this slightly contrived function: M \= TypeVar("M", bound\=Mobject) \# allow any mobject def shift\_mobject(mob: M, direction: Vector3D, scale\_factor: float \= 1) \-> M: return mob.shift(direction \* scale\_factor) Here we see an important example of the difference. `direction` should not be typed as a [`Point3D`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#manim.typing.Point3D "manim.typing.Point3D") , because it represents a direction along which to shift a [`Mobject`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject.html#manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject "manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject") , not a position in space. As a general rule, if a parameter is called `direction` or `axis`, it should be type hinted as some form of [`VectorND`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#manim.typing.VectorND "manim.typing.VectorND") or [`VectorNDLike`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#manim.typing.VectorNDLike "manim.typing.VectorNDLike") . Colors[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/docs/types.html#colors "Link to this heading") ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The interface Manim provides for working with colors is [`ManimColor`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.utils.color.core.ManimColor.html#manim.utils.color.core.ManimColor "manim.utils.color.core.ManimColor") . The main color types Manim supports are RGB, RGBA, and HSV. You will want to add type hints to a function depending on which type it uses. If any color will work, you will need something like: if TYPE\_CHECKING: from manim.utils.color import ParsableManimColor \# type hint stuff with ParsableManimColor Béziers[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/docs/types.html#beziers "Link to this heading") --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Manim internally represents a [`Mobject`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject.html#manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject "manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject") by a collection of points. In the case of [`VMobject`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.types.vectorized_mobject.VMobject.html#manim.mobject.types.vectorized_mobject.VMobject "manim.mobject.types.vectorized_mobject.VMobject") , the most commonly used subclass of [`Mobject`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject.html#manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject "manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject") , these points represent Bézier curves, which are a way of representing a curve using a sequence of points. Note To learn more about Béziers, take a look at [https://pomax.github.io/bezierinfo/](https://pomax.github.io/bezierinfo/) Manim supports two different renderers, which each have different representations of Béziers: Cairo uses cubic Bézier curves, while OpenGL uses quadratic Bézier curves. Type hints like [`BezierPoints`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#manim.typing.BezierPoints "manim.typing.BezierPoints") represent a single bezier curve, and [`BezierPath`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#manim.typing.BezierPath "manim.typing.BezierPath") represents multiple Bézier curves. A [`Spline`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#manim.typing.Spline "manim.typing.Spline") is when the Bézier curves in a [`BezierPath`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#manim.typing.BezierPath "manim.typing.BezierPath") forms a single connected curve. Manim also provides more specific type aliases when working with quadratic or cubic curves, and they are prefixed with their respective type (e.g. [`CubicBezierPoints`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#manim.typing.CubicBezierPoints "manim.typing.CubicBezierPoints") , is a [`BezierPoints`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#manim.typing.BezierPoints "manim.typing.BezierPoints") consisting of exactly 4 points representing a cubic Bézier curve). Functions[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/docs/types.html#functions "Link to this heading") ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Throughout the codebase, many different types of functions are used. The most obvious example is a rate function, which takes in a float and outputs a float (`Callable[[float], float]`). Another example is for overriding animations. One will often need to map a [`Mobject`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject.html#manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject "manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject") to an overridden [`Animation`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.animation.animation.Animation.html#manim.animation.animation.Animation "manim.animation.animation.Animation") , and for that we have the [`FunctionOverride`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#manim.typing.FunctionOverride "manim.typing.FunctionOverride") type hint. [`PathFuncType`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#manim.typing.PathFuncType "manim.typing.PathFuncType") and [`MappingFunction`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#manim.typing.MappingFunction "manim.typing.MappingFunction") are more niche, but are related to moving objects along a path, or applying functions. If you need to use it, you’ll know. Images[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/docs/types.html#images "Link to this heading") ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are several representations of images in Manim. The most common is the representation as a NumPy array of floats representing the pixels of an image. This is especially common when it comes to the OpenGL renderer. This is the use case of the [`PixelArray`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#manim.typing.PixelArray "manim.typing.PixelArray") type hint. Sometimes, Manim may use `PIL.Image.Image`, which is not the same as [`PixelArray`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#manim.typing.PixelArray "manim.typing.PixelArray") . In this case, use the `PIL.Image.Image` typehint. Of course, if a more specific type of image is needed, it can be annotated as such. --- # Typing Conventions - Manim Community v0.20.1 Contents Menu Expand Light mode Dark mode Auto light/dark, in light mode Auto light/dark, in dark mode [Skip to content](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/docs/typings.html#furo-main-content) [Back to top](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/docs/typings.html#) [View this page](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/blob/main/docs/source/contributing/docs/typings.rst?plain=true "View this page") [Edit this page](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/edit/main/docs/source/contributing/docs/typings.rst "Edit this page") Typing Conventions[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/docs/typings.html#typing-conventions "Link to this heading") ======================================================================================================================================= Warning This section is still a work in progress. Adding type hints to functions and parameters[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/docs/typings.html#adding-type-hints-to-functions-and-parameters "Link to this heading") --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Manim is currently in the process of adding type hints into the library. In this section, you will find information about the standards used and some general guidelines. If you’ve never used type hints before, this is a good place to get started: [https://realpython.com/python-type-checking/#hello-types](https://realpython.com/python-type-checking/#hello-types) . ### Typing standards[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/docs/typings.html#typing-standards "Link to this heading") Manim uses [mypy](https://mypy-lang.org/) to type check its codebase. You will find a list of configuration values in the `mypy.ini` configuration file. To be able to use the newest typing features not available in the lowest supported Python version, make use of [typing\_extensions](https://pypi.org/project/typing-extensions/) . To be able to use the new Union syntax (`|`) and builtins subscripting, use the `from __future__ import annotations` import. ### Typing guidelines[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/docs/typings.html#typing-guidelines "Link to this heading") * Manim has a dedicated [`typing`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#module-manim.typing "manim.typing") module where type aliases are provided. Most of them may seem redundant, in particular the ones related to `numpy`. This is in anticipation of the support for shape type hinting ([related issue](https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/16544) ). Besides the pending shape support, using the correct type aliases will help users understand which shape should be used. * For typings of generic collections, check out [this](https://docs.python.org/3/library/collections.abc.html#collections-abstract-base-classes) link. * Always use a type hint of `None` for functions that does not return a value (this also applies to `__init__`), e.g.: def height(self, value) \-> None: self.scale\_to\_fit\_height(value) * For variables representing paths, use the `StrPath` or `StrOrBytesPath` type alias defined in the [`typing`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#module-manim.typing "manim.typing") module. * `*args` and `**kwargs` shouldn’t be left untyped (in most cases you can use `Any`). * Following [PEP 484](https://peps.python.org/pep-0484/#the-numeric-tower) , use `float` instead of `int | float`. * Use `x | y` instead of `Union[x, y]` * Mobjects have the typehint `Mobject`, e.g.: def match\_color(self, mobject: "Mobject"): """Match the color with the color of another :class:\`~.Mobject\`.""" return self.set\_color(mobject.get\_color()) * Always parametrize generics (`list[int]` instead of `list`, `type[Any]` instead of `type`, etc.). This also applies to callables. rate\_func: Callable\[\[float\], float\] \= lambda t: smooth(1 \- t) * Use `TypeVar` when you want to “link” type hints as being the same type. Consider `Mobject.copy`, which returns a new instance of the same class. It would be type-hinted as: T \= TypeVar("T") def copy(self: T) \-> T: ... * Use `typing.Iterable` whenever the function works with _any_ iterable, not a specific type. * Prefer `numpy.typing.NDArray` over `numpy.ndarray` import numpy as np if TYPE\_CHECKING: import numpy.typing as npt def foo() \-> npt.NDArray\[float\]: return np.array(\[1, 0, 1\]) * If a method returns `self`, use `typing_extensions.Self`. if TYPE\_CHECKING: from typing\_extensions import Self class CustomMobject: def set\_color(self, color: ManimColor) \-> Self: ... return self * If the function returns a container of a specific length each time, consider using `tuple` instead of `list`. def foo() \-> tuple\[float, float, float\]: return (0, 0, 0) * If a function works with a parameter as long as said parameter has a `__getitem__`, `__iter___` and `__len__` method, the typehint of the parameter should be `collections.abc.Mapping`. If it also supports `__setitem__` and/or `__delitem__`, it should be marked as `collections.abc.MutableMapping`. * Typehinting something as `object` means that only attributes available on every Python object should be accessed, like `__str__` and so on. On the other hand, literally any attribute can be accessed on a variable with the `Any` typehint - it’s more freeing than the `object` typehint, and makes mypy stop typechecking the variable. Note that whenever possible, try to keep typehints as specific as possible. * If objects are imported purely for type hint purposes, keep it under an `if typing.TYPE_CHECKING` guard, to prevent them from being imported at runtime (helps library performance). Do not forget to use the `from __future__ import annotations` import to avoid having runtime `NameError` exceptions. from typing import TYPE\_CHECKING if TYPE\_CHECKING: from manim.typing import Vector3D \# type stuff with Vector3D Missing Sections for typehints are:[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/docs/typings.html#missing-sections-for-typehints-are "Link to this heading") ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Mypy and numpy import errors: [https://realpython.com/python-type-checking/#running-mypy](https://realpython.com/python-type-checking/#running-mypy) * Explain `mypy.ini` (see above link) --- # Adding References - Manim Community v0.20.1 Contents Menu Expand Light mode Dark mode Auto light/dark, in light mode Auto light/dark, in dark mode [Skip to content](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/docs/references.html#furo-main-content) [Back to top](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/docs/references.html#) [View this page](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/blob/main/docs/source/contributing/docs/references.rst?plain=true "View this page") [Edit this page](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/edit/main/docs/source/contributing/docs/references.rst "Edit this page") Adding References[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/docs/references.html#adding-references "Link to this heading") ======================================================================================================================================== Reference to types in documentation[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/docs/references.html#reference-to-types-in-documentation "Link to this heading") ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Always specify types with the correct **role** (see [https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/1.7/domains.html#python-roles](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/1.7/domains.html#python-roles) ) for the sake of proper rendering. E.g.: Use `` :class:`int` `` to refer to an int type, and in general ``:class:``​`` to refer to a certain class (see `Path specification` below). See after for more specific instructions. ### Path specifications[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/docs/references.html#path-specifications "Link to this heading") 1. If it’s on stdlib: Use `` directly. If it’s a class, just the name is enough. If it’s a method (`:meth:`) or attribute (`:attr:`), dotted names may be used (e.g. ``:meth:`str.to_lower`​``). Example: ``:class:`int`​``, ``:class:`str`​``, ``:class:`float`​``, ``:class:`bool`​`` 2. If it’s on the same file as the docstring or, for methods and attributes, under the same class, then the name may also be specified directly. Example: ``:class:`MyClass`​`` referring to a class in the same file; ``:meth:`push`​`` referring to a method in the same class; ``:meth:`MyClass.push`​`` referring to a method in a different class in the same file; ``:attr:`color`​`` referring to an attribute in the same class; ``:attr:`MyClass.color`​`` referring to an attribute in a different class in the same file. 3. If it’s on a different file, then you may either use the full dotted name (e.g. `~manim.animations.Animation`) or simply use the shortened way (`~.Animation`). Note that, if there is ambiguity, then the full dotted name must be used where the actual class can’t be deduced. Also, note the `~` before the path - this is so that it displays just `Animation` instead of the full location in the rendering. It can be removed for disambiguation purposes only. Example: ``:class:`~.Animation`​``, ``:meth:`~.VMobject.set_color`​``, ``:attr:`~.VMobject.color`​`` 4. If it’s a class from a different module, specify the full dotted syntax. Example: ``:class:`numpy.ndarray`​`` for a numpy ndarray. ### Reference type specifications[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/docs/references.html#reference-type-specifications "Link to this heading") **The following instructions refer to types of attributes, parameters, and return values.** When specifying a type mid-text, it does not necessarily have to be typeset. However, if it’s a class name, a method, or an enum’s attribute/variant, then it is recommended to be typeset at least on the first occurrence of the name so that the users can quickly jump to the related documentation. 1. Class names should be wrapped in ``:class:`path_goes_here`​``. See examples in the subsection above. 2. Method names should be wrapped in ``:meth:`path_goes_here`​``. See examples in the subsection above. 3. Attribute names should be wrapped in ``:attr:`path_goes_here`​``. See examples in the subsection above. 4. If `None` can also be specified, use `Optional[type]`, where `type` must follow the guidelines in the current section. Example: ``Optional[:class:`str`]`` means you can either specify a `str` or `None`. 5. If more than one type is possible, use `Union[type_1, type_2, (...), type_n]`, where all the `type_n` must follow the guidelines in the current section. Note that, if one of these types is `None`, then the Union should be wrapped with `Optional` instead. Example: ``Union[:class:`str`, :class:`int`]`` for either `str` or `int`. ``Optional[Union[:class:`int`, :class:`bool`]]`` for either `int`, `bool` or `None`. 6. **Dictionaries:** Use `Dict[key_type, value_type]`, where `key_type` and `value_type` must follow the guidelines in the current section. Example: ``Dict[:class:`str`, :class:`~.Mobject`]`` is a dictionary that maps strings to Mobjects. ``Dict[:class:`str`, Union[:class:`int`, :class:`MyClass`]]`` is a dictionary that maps a string to either an int or an instance of `MyClass`. 7. **If the parameter is a list:** Note that it is very rare to require the parameter to be exactly a `list` type. One could usually specify a `tuple` instead, for example. So, in order to cover all cases, consider: 1. If the parameter only needs to be an `Iterable`, i.e., if the function only requires being able to iterate over this parameter’s value (e.g. can be a `list`, `tuple`, `str`, but also `zip()`, `iter()` and so on), then specify `Iterable[type_here]`, where `type_here` is the type of the iterable’s yielded elements and should follow the format in the present section (`Type specifications`). Example: ``Iterable[:class:`str`]`` for any iterable of strings; ``Iterable[:class:`~.Mobject`]`` for an iterable of Mobjects; etc. 2. If you require being able to index the parameter (i.e. `x[n]`) or retrieve its length (i.e. `len(x)`), or even just pass it to a function that requires any of those, then specify `Sequence`, which allows any list-like object to be specified (e.g. `list`, `tuple`…) Example: ``Sequence[:class:`str`]`` for a sequence of strings; ``Sequence[Union[:class:`str`, :class:`int`]]`` for a sequence of integers or strings. 3. If you EXPLICITLY REQUIRE it to be a `list` for some reason, then use `List[type]`, where `type` is the type that any element in the list will have. It must follow the guidelines in the current section. 8. **If the return type is a list or tuple:** Specify `List[type]` for a list, `Tuple[type_a, type_b, (...), type_n]` for a tuple (if the elements are all different) or `Tuple[type, ...]` (if all elements have the same type). Each `type_n` on those representations corresponds to elements in the returned list/tuple and must follow the guidelines in the current section. Example: ``List[Optional[:class:`str`]]`` for a list that returns elements that are either a `str` or `None`; ``Tuple[:class:`str`, :class:`int`]`` for a tuple of type `(str, int)`; ``Tuple[:class:`int`, ...]`` for a tuple of variable length with only integers. --- # v0.16.0 - Manim Community v0.20.1 Contents Menu Expand Light mode Dark mode Auto light/dark, in light mode Auto light/dark, in dark mode [Skip to content](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.16.0-changelog.html#furo-main-content) [Back to top](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.16.0-changelog.html#) [View this page](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/blob/main/docs/source/changelog/0.16.0-changelog.rst?plain=true "View this page") [Edit this page](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/edit/main/docs/source/changelog/0.16.0-changelog.rst "Edit this page") v0.16.0[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.16.0-changelog.html#v0-16-0 "Link to this heading") ================================================================================================================== Date: July 13, 2022 Contributors[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.16.0-changelog.html#contributors "Link to this heading") ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A total of 44 people contributed to this release.

The `run_time` of the animation will be adjusted to match the changed play speed. It is also possible to add time-based updaters that respect the change in speed, use the auxiliary [`ChangeSpeed.add_updater()`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.animation.speedmodifier.ChangeSpeed.html#manim.animation.speedmodifier.ChangeSpeed.add_updater "manim.animation.speedmodifier.ChangeSpeed.add_updater") method to do so. ### New features[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.16.0-changelog.html#new-features "Link to this

Since Manim is extensible and not everything belongs in its core, we’ll go over how to install, use, and create your own plugins. Note The standard naming convention for plugins is to prefix the plugin with `manim-`. This makes them easy for users to find on package repositories such as PyPI. Warning The plugin feature is new and under active development. Expect updates for the best practices on installing, using, and creating plugins; as well as new subcommands/flags for `manim plugins` Tip See [https://plugins.manim.community/](https://plugins.manim.community/) for the list of plugins available. Installing Plugins[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/plugins.html#installing-plugins "Link to this heading") --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Plugins can be easily installed via the `pip` command: pip install manim-\* After installing a plugin, you may use the `manim plugins` command to list your available plugins, see the following help output: manim plugins \-h Usage: manim plugins \[OPTIONS\] Manages Manim plugins.

Important The plugins should be module name of the plugin and not PyPi name. Enabling plugins through `manim.cfg` \[CLI\] plugins \= manim\_rubikscube For specifying multiple plugins, comma-separated values must be used. \[CLI\] plugins \= manim\_rubikscube, manim\_plugintemplate Creating Plugins[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/plugins.html#creating-plugins "Link to this heading") ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Plugins are intended to extend Manim’s core functionality. If you aren’t sure whether a feature should be included in Manim’s core, feel free to ask over on the [Discord server](https://www.manim.community/discord/) . Visit [manim-plugintemplate](https://pypi.org/project/manim-plugintemplate/) on PyPI.org which serves as an in-depth tutorial for creating plugins. pip install manim-plugintemplate The only requirement of manim plugins is that they specify an entry point with the group, `"manim.plugins"`. This allows Manim to discover plugins available in the user’s environment. Everything regarding the plugin’s directory structure, build system, and naming are completely up to your discretion as an author. The standard way to specify an entry point (see [the Python packaging guide](https://packaging.python.org/specifications/entry-points/) for details) is to include the following in your `pyproject.toml`: \[project.entry-points."manim.plugins"\] "name" \= "object\_reference" Removed in version 0.18.1: Plugins should be imported explicitly to be usable in user code. The plugin system will probably be refactored in the future to provide a more structured interface. ### A note on Renderer Compatibility[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/plugins.html#a-note-on-renderer-compatibility "Link to this heading") Depending on which renderer is currently active, custom mobjects created in your plugin might want to behave differently as the corresponding mobject base classes are (unfortunately) not fully compatible. The currently active renderer can be queried by checking the value of `manim.config.renderer`. All possible renderer types are given by [`constants.RendererType`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.constants.RendererType.html#manim.constants.RendererType "manim.constants.RendererType") . The module [`manim.mobject.utils`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.utils.html#module-manim.mobject.utils "manim.mobject.utils") contains utility functions that return the base class for the currently active renderer. A simple form of renderer compatibility (by hot-swapping the class inheritance chain) for Mobjects directly inheriting from [`Mobject`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject.html#manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject "manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject") or [`VMobject`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.types.vectorized_mobject.VMobject.html#manim.mobject.types.vectorized_mobject.VMobject "manim.mobject.types.vectorized_mobject.VMobject") can be achieved by using the `mobject.opengl.opengl_compatibility.ConvertToOpenGL` metaclass. --- # Adding Tests - Manim Community v0.20.1 Contents Menu Expand Light mode Dark mode Auto light/dark, in light mode Auto light/dark, in dark mode [Skip to content](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/testing.html#furo-main-content) [Back to top](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/testing.html#) [View this page](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/blob/main/docs/source/contributing/testing.rst?plain=true "View this page") [Edit this page](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/edit/main/docs/source/contributing/testing.rst "Edit this page") Adding Tests[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/testing.html#adding-tests "Link to this heading") ====================================================================================================================== If you are adding new features to manim, you should add appropriate tests for them. Tests prevent manim from breaking at each change by checking that no other feature has been broken and/or been unintentionally modified. Warning The full tests suite requires Cairo 1.18 in order to run all tests. However, Cairo 1.18 may not be available from your package manager, like `apt`, and it is very likely that you have an older version installed, e.g., 1.16. If you run tests with a version prior to 1.18, many tests will be skipped. Those tests are not skipped in the online CI. If you want to run all tests locally, you need to install Cairo 1.18 or above. You can do so by compiling Cairo from source: 1. download `cairo-1.18.0.tar.xz` from [here](https://www.cairographics.org/releases/) . and uncompress it; 2. open the INSTALL file and follow the instructions (you might need to install `meson` and `ninja`); 3. run the tests suite and verify that the Cairo version is correct. How Manim tests[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/testing.html#how-manim-tests "Link to this heading") ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Manim uses pytest as its testing framework. To start the testing process, go to the root directory of the project and run pytest in your terminal. Any errors that occur during testing will be displayed in the terminal. Some useful pytest flags: * `-x` will make pytest stop at the first failure it encounters * `-s` will make pytest display all the print messages (including those during scene generation, like DEBUG messages) * `--skip_slow` will skip the (arbitrarily) slow tests * `--show_diff` will show a visual comparison in case a unit test is failing. ### How it Works[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/testing.html#how-it-works "Link to this heading") At the moment there are three types of tests: 1. Unit Tests: Tests for most of the basic functionalities of manim. For example, there a test for `Mobject`, that checks if it can be added to a Scene, etc. 2. Graphical unit tests: Because `manim` is a graphics library, we test frames. To do so, we create test scenes that render a specific feature. When pytest runs, it compares the result of the test to the control data, either at 6 fps or just the last frame. If it matches, the tests pass. If the test and control data differ, the tests fail. You can use `--show_diff` flag with `pytest` to visually see the differences. The `extract_frames.py` script lets you see all the frames of a test. 3. Videos format tests: As Manim is a video library, we have to test videos as well. Unfortunately, we cannot directly test video content as rendered videos can differ slightly depending on the system (for reasons related to ffmpeg). Therefore, we only compare video configuration values, exported in .json. Architecture[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/testing.html#architecture "Link to this heading") ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The `manim/tests` directory looks like this: . ├── conftest.py ├── control\_data │ ├── graphical\_units\_data │ │ ├── creation │ │ │ ├── DrawBorderThenFillTest.npy │ │ │ ├── FadeInFromDownTest.npy │ │ │ ├── FadeInFromLargeTest.npy │ │ │ ├── FadeInFromTest.npy │ │ │ ├── FadeInTest.npy │ │ │ ├── ... │ │ ├── geometry │ │ │ ├── AnnularSectorTest.npy │ │ │ ├── AnnulusTest.npy │ │ │ ├── ArcBetweenPointsTest.npy │ │ │ ├── ArcTest.npy │ │ │ ├── CircleTest.npy │ │ │ ├── CoordinatesTest.npy │ │ │ ├── ... │ │ ├── graph │ │ │ ├── ... | | | | ... │ └── videos\_data │ ├── SquareToCircleWithDefaultValues.json │ └── SquareToCircleWithlFlag.json ├── helpers │ ├── graphical\_units.py │ ├── \_\_init\_\_.py │ └── video\_utils.py ├── \_\_init\_\_.py ├── test\_camera.py ├── test\_config.py ├── test\_copy.py ├── test\_vectorized\_mobject.py ├── test\_graphical\_units │ ├── conftest.py │ ├── \_\_init\_\_.py │ ├── test\_creation.py │ ├── test\_geometry.py │ ├── test\_graph.py │ ├── test\_indication.py │ ├── test\_movements.py │ ├── test\_threed.py │ ├── test\_transform.py │ └── test\_updaters.py ├── test\_logging │ ├── basic\_scenes.py │ ├── expected.txt │ ├── testloggingconfig.cfg │ └── test\_logging.py ├── test\_scene\_rendering │ ├── conftest.py │ ├── \_\_init\_\_.py │ ├── simple\_scenes.py │ ├── standard\_config.cfg │ └── test\_cli\_flags.py └── utils ├── commands.py ├── \_\_init\_\_.py ├── testing\_utils.py └── video\_tester.py ... The Main Directories[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/testing.html#the-main-directories "Link to this heading") -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * `control_data/`: The directory containing control data. `control_data/graphical_units_data/` contains the expected and correct frame data for graphical tests, and `control_data/videos_data/` contains the .json files used to check videos. * `test_graphical_units/`: Contains graphical tests. * `test_scene_rendering/`: For tests that need to render a scene in some way, such as tests for CLI flags (end-to-end tests). * `utils/`: Useful internal functions used by pytest. Note fixtures are not contained here, they are in `conftest.py`. * `helpers/`: Helper functions for developers to setup graphical/video tests. Adding a New Test[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/testing.html#adding-a-new-test "Link to this heading") -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ### Unit Tests[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/testing.html#unit-tests "Link to this heading") Pytest determines which functions are tests by searching for files whose names begin with “test\_”, and then within those files for functions beginning with “test” and classes beginning with “Test”. These kinds of tests must be in `tests/` (e.g. `tests/test_container.py`). ### Graphical Unit Test[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/testing.html#graphical-unit-test "Link to this heading") The test must be written in the correct file (i.e. the file that corresponds to the appropriate category the feature belongs to) and follow the structure of unit tests. For example, to test the `Circle` VMobject which resides in `manim/mobject/geometry.py`, add the CircleTest to `test/test_geometry.py`. The name of the module is indicated by the variable \_\_module\_test\_\_, that **must** be declared in any graphical test file. The module name is used to store the graphical control data. Important You will need to use the `frames_comparison` decorator to create a test. The test function **must** accept a parameter named `scene` that will be used like `self` in a standard `construct` method. Here’s an example in `test_geometry.py`: from manim import \* from manim.utils.testing.frames\_comparison import frames\_comparison \_\_module\_test\_\_ \= "geometry" @frames\_comparison def test\_circle(scene): circle \= Circle() scene.play(Animation(circle)) The decorator can be used with or without parentheses. **By default, the test only tests the last frame. To enable multi-frame testing, you have to set \`\`last\_frame=False\`\` in the parameters.** @frames\_comparison(last\_frame\=False) def test\_circle(scene): circle \= Circle() scene.play(Animation(circle)) You can also specify, when needed, which base scene you need (ThreeDScene, for example) : @frames\_comparison(last\_frame\=False, base\_scene\=ThreeDScene) def test\_circle(scene): circle \= Circle() scene.play(Animation(circle)) Feel free to check the documentation of `@frames_comparison` for more. Note that tests name must follow the syntax `test_`, otherwise pytest will not recognize it as a test. Warning If you run pytest now, you will get a `FileNotFound` error. This is because you have not created control data for your test. To create the control data for your test, you have to use the flag `--set_test` along with pytest. For the example above, it would be pytest test\_geometry.py::test\_circle \--set\_test \-s (`-s` is here to see manim logs, so you can see what’s going on). If you want to see all the control data frames (e.g. to make sure your test is doing what you want), use the `extract_frames.py` script. The first parameter is the path to a `.npz` file and the second parameter is the directory you want the frames created. The frames will be named `frame0.png`, `frame1.png`, etc. python scripts/extract\_frames.py tests/test\_graphical\_units/control\_data/plot/axes.npz output Please make sure to add the control data to git as soon as it is produced with `git add `. ### Videos tests[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/testing.html#videos-tests "Link to this heading") To test videos generated, we use the decorator `tests.utils.videos_tester.video_comparison`: @video\_comparison( "SquareToCircleWithlFlag.json", "videos/simple\_scenes/480p15/SquareToCircle.mp4" ) def test\_basic\_scene\_l\_flag(tmp\_path, manim\_cfg\_file, simple\_scenes\_path): scene\_name \= "SquareToCircle" command \= \[\ "python",\ "-m",\ "manim",\ simple\_scenes\_path,\ scene\_name,\ "-l",\ "--media\_dir",\ str(tmp\_path),\ \] out, err, exit\_code \= capture(command) assert exit\_code \== 0, err Note `assert exit*\ code == 0, err` is used in case of the command fails to run. The decorator takes two arguments: json name and the path to where the video should be generated, starting from the `media/` dir. Note the fixtures here: * tmp\_path is a pytest fixture to get a tmp\_path. Manim will output here, according to the flag `--media_dir`. * `manim_cfg_file` fixture that return a path pointing to `test_scene_rendering/standard_config.cfg`. It’s just to shorten the code, in the case multiple tests need to use this cfg file. * `simple_scenes_path` same as above, except for `test_scene_rendering/simple_scene.py` You have to generate a `.json` file first to be able to test your video. To do that, use `helpers.save_control_data_from_video`. For instance, a test that will check if the l flag works properly will first require rendering a video using the -l flag from a scene. Then we will test (in this case, SquareToCircle), that lives in `test_scene_rendering/simple_scene.py`. Change directories to `tests/`, create a file (e.g. `create\_data.py`) that you will remove as soon as you’re done. Then run: save\_control\_data\_from\_video("", "SquareToCircleWithlFlag.json") Running this will save `control_data/videos_data/SquareToCircleWithlFlag.json`, which will look like this: { "name": "SquareToCircleWithlFlag", "config": { "codec\_name": "h264", "width": 854, "height": 480, "avg\_frame\_rate": "15/1", "duration": "1.000000", "nb\_frames": "15" } } If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask on [Discord](https://www.manim.community/discord/) , in your pull request, or in an issue. --- # TexFontTemplates - Manim Community v0.20.1 Contents Menu Expand Light mode Dark mode Auto light/dark, in light mode Auto light/dark, in dark mode [Skip to content](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.utils.tex_templates.TexFontTemplates.html#furo-main-content) [Back to top](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.utils.tex_templates.TexFontTemplates.html#) [View this page](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/blob/main/docs/source/reference/manim.utils.tex_templates.TexFontTemplates.rst?plain=true "View this page") [Edit this page](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/edit/main/docs/source/reference/manim.utils.tex_templates.TexFontTemplates.rst "Edit this page") TexFontTemplates[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.utils.tex_templates.TexFontTemplates.html#texfonttemplates "Link to this heading") ============================================================================================================================================================== Qualified name: `manim.utils.tex\_templates.TexFontTemplates` class TexFontTemplates[\[source\]](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/_modules/manim/utils/tex_templates.html#TexFontTemplates) [¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.utils.tex_templates.TexFontTemplates.html#manim.utils.tex_templates.TexFontTemplates "Link to this definition") Bases: `object` A collection of TeX templates for the fonts described at [http://jf.burnol.free.fr/showcase.html](http://jf.burnol.free.fr/showcase.html) These templates are specifically designed to allow you to typeset formulae and mathematics using different fonts.

Docstrings[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/docs/docstrings.html#adding-docstrings "Link to this heading") ======================================================================================================================================== A docstring is a string literal that is used right after the definition of a module, function, class, or method. They are used to document our code. This page will give you a set of guidelines to write efficient and correct docstrings. Formatting the Docstrings[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/docs/docstrings.html#formatting-the-docstrings "Link to this heading") -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please begin the description of the class/function in the same line as the 3 quotes: def do\_this(): """This is correct. (...) """ def dont\_do\_this(): """ This is incorrect. (...) """ NumPy Format[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/docs/docstrings.html#numpy-format "Link to this heading") ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Manim Community uses numpy format for the documentation. Use the numpy format for sections and formatting - see [https://numpydoc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/format.html](https://numpydoc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/format.html) . This includes: 1. The usage of `Attributes` to specify ALL ATTRIBUTES that a class can have and a brief (or long, if needed) description. Also, `__init__` parameters should be specified as `Parameters` **on the class docstring**, _rather than under_ `__init__`. Note that this can be omitted if the parameters and the attributes are the same (i.e., dataclass) - priority should be given to the `Attributes` section, in this case, which must **always be present**, unless the class specifies no attributes at all. (See more on Parameters in number 2 of this list.) Example: class MyClass: """My cool class. Long or short (whatever is more appropriate) description here. Parameters ---------- name The class's name. id The class's id. mobj The mobject linked to this instance. Defaults to \`Mobject()\` \\ (is set to that if \`None\` is specified). Attributes ---------- name The user's name. id The user's id. singleton Something. mobj The mobject linked to this instance. """ def \_\_init\_\_(name: str, id: int, singleton: MyClass, mobj: Mobject \= None): ... 2. The usage of `Parameters` on functions to specify how every parameter works and what it does. This should be excluded if the function has no parameters. Note that you **should not** specify the default value of the parameter on the type. On the documentation render, this is already specified on the function’s signature. If you need to indicate a further consequence of value omission or simply want to specify it on the docs, make sure to **specify it in the parameter’s DESCRIPTION**. See an example on list item 4. Note When documenting varargs (args and kwargs), make sure to document them by listing the possible types of each value specified, like this: Parameters \---------- args The args specified can be either an int or a float. kwargs The kwargs specified can only be a float. Note that, if the kwargs expect specific values, those can be specified in a section such as `Other Parameters`: Other Parameters \---------------- kwarg\_param\_1 Parameter documentation here (etc) 3. The usage of `Returns` to indicate what is the type of this function’s return value and what exactly it returns (i.e., a brief - or long, if needed - description of what this function returns). Can be omitted if the function does not explicitly return (i.e., always returns `None` because `return` is never specified, and it is very clear why this function does not return at all). In all other cases, it should be specified. See an example on list item 4. 4. The usage of `Examples` in order to specify an example of usage of a function **is highly encouraged** and, in general, should be specified for _every function_ unless its usage is **extremely obvious**, which can be debatable. Even if it is, it’s always a good idea to add an example in order to give a better orientation to the documentation user. Use the following format for Python code: :: # python code here Note Also, if this is a video- or animation-related change, please try to add an example GIF or video if possible for demonstration purposes. Make sure to be as explicit as possible in your documentation. We all want the users to have an easier time using this library. Example: def my\_function( thing: int, other: np.ndarray, name: str, \*, d: "SomeClassFromFarAway", test: Optional\[int\] \= 45 ) \-> "EpicClassInThisFile": \# typings are optional for now """My cool function. Builds and modifies an :class:\`EpicClassInThisFile\` instance with the given parameters. Parameters ---------- thing Specifies the index of life. other Specifies something cool. name Specifies my name. d Sets thing D to this value. test Defines the number of times things should be tested. \\ Defaults to 45, because that is almost the meaning of life. Returns ------- :class:\`EpicClassInThisFile\` The generated EpicClass with the specified attributes and modifications.

Guidelines for examples[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/docs/examples.html#guidelines-for-examples "Link to this heading") -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Everybody is welcome to contribute examples to the documentation. Since straightforward examples are a great resource for quickly learning manim, here are some guidelines. What makes a great example[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/docs/examples.html#what-makes-a-great-example "Link to this heading") -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note As soon as a new version of manim is released, the documentation will be a snapshot of that version. Examples contributed after the release will only be shown in the latest documentation. * Examples should be ready to copy and paste for use. * Examples should be brief yet still easy to understand. * Examples don’t require the `from manim import *` statement, this will be added automatically when the docs are built. * There should be a balance of animated and non-animated examples. * As manim makes animations, we can include lots of animated examples; however, our RTD has a maximum 20 minutes to build. Animated examples should only be used when necessary, as last frame examples render faster. * Lots of examples (e.g. size of a plot-axis, setting opacities, making texts, etc.) will also work as images. It is a lot more convenient to see the end product immediately instead of waiting for an animation to reveal it. * Please ensure the examples run on the current main branch when you contribute an example. * If the functions used are confusing for people, make sure to add comments in the example to explain what they do. How examples are structured[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/docs/examples.html#how-examples-are-structured "Link to this heading") ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Examples can be organized into chapters and subchapters. * When you create examples, the beginning example chapter should focus on only one functionality. When the functionality is simple, multiple ideas can be illustrated under a single example. * As soon as simple functionalities are explained, the chapter may include more complex examples which build on the simpler ideas. ### Writing examples[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/docs/examples.html#writing-examples "Link to this heading") When you want to add/edit examples, they can be found in the `docs/source/` directory, or directly in the manim source code (e.g. `manim/mobject/mobject.py`). The examples are written in `rst` format and use the manim directive (see [`manim.utils.docbuild.manim_directive`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.utils.docbuild.manim_directive.html#module-manim.utils.docbuild.manim_directive "manim.utils.docbuild.manim_directive") ), `.. manim::`. Every example is in its own block, and looks like this: Formulas \======== .. manim:: Formula1 :save\_last\_frame: class Formula1(Scene): def construct(self): t = MathTex(r"\\int\_a^b f'(x) dx = f(b) - f(a)") self.add(t) self.wait(1) In the building process of the docs, all `rst` files are scanned, and the manim directive (`.. manim::`) blocks are identified as scenes that will be run by the current version of manim. Here is the syntax: * `.. manim:: [SCENE_NAME]` has no indentation and `SCENE_NAME` refers to the name of the class below. * The flags are followed in the next line (no blank line here!), with the indentation level of one tab. All possible flags can be found at [`manim.utils.docbuild.manim_directive`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.utils.docbuild.manim_directive.html#module-manim.utils.docbuild.manim_directive "manim.utils.docbuild.manim_directive") . In the example above, the `Formula1` following `.. manim::` is the scene that the directive expects to render; thus, in the python code, the class has the same name: `class Formula1(Scene)`. Note Sometimes, when you reload an example in your browser, it has still the old website somewhere in its cache. If this is the case, delete the website cache, or open a new incognito tab in your browser, then the latest docs should be shown. **Only for locally built documentation:** If this still doesn’t work, you may need to delete the contents of `docs/source/references` before rebuilding the documentation. --- # typing - Manim Community v0.20.1 Contents Menu Expand Light mode Dark mode Auto light/dark, in light mode Auto light/dark, in dark mode [Skip to content](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#furo-main-content) [Back to top](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#) [View this page](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/blob/main/docs/source/reference/manim.typing.rst?plain=true "View this page") [Edit this page](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/edit/main/docs/source/reference/manim.typing.rst "Edit this page") typing[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#module-manim.typing "Link to this heading") ========================================================================================================================= Custom type definitions used in Manim.

Please read the instructions below to get started. You are also encouraged, though not required, to join our [Discord server](https://manim.community/discord) . Signing up[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/internationalization.html#signing-up "Link to this heading") ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You will first need to create an account for our project. Go to our [project homepage](https://translate.manim.community/) and click the sign up button at the top right hand corner. Follow the instructions to create an account. After creating an account, you should return back to our homepage. Click the Manim project to contribute translations for the main library. Contributing[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/internationalization.html#contributing "Link to this heading") ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important Keep in mind that Manim is still a work in progress. Tutorials and documentation are always subject to change. When a developer implements a new feature, they are not forced to respect any translations. This means that parts of the translation might become outdated over time. That being said, improving the documentation and making it more accessible is still highly encouraged. And even if your work gets outdated and requires change, you or someone else can simply adjust the translation. Your efforts are not in vain! ### Voting[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/internationalization.html#voting "Link to this heading") To ensure that our translations are of good quality, we use crowdsourcing and voting to approve good translations and reject bad ones. The current threshold for a translation being accepted is 3 votes; this may change as we gauge the level of activity in the community and the quality of translations. To vote on translations, first click on a language you would like to help with, then click the “translate all” button. You should then enter the translation editor. Next to the search bar, you will see a funnel-like icon - click it and select the “Need to Be Voted” option to see translations that need to be voted on. You can then select a string on the left sidebar, view the translations at the bottom and vote with the + and - icons for good and poor translations respectively. ### Translations[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/internationalization.html#translations "Link to this heading") You can also help with contributing translations directly. Follow the steps above to enter the translation editor (instead of clicking “Translate all”, you may also choose to translate strings from a specific file by clicking them). Crowdin’s on-screen tutorial should guide you through the process. Translation guidelines[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/internationalization.html#translation-guidelines "Link to this heading") ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In general, follow the conventions for technical writing in your target language. You may want to refer to similar, high quality sources (eg. Python’s documentation in your language) for guidance. Note that code blocks, code literals, names and pseudonyms should be left unchanged. Proofreading[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/internationalization.html#proofreading "Link to this heading") ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For certain languages with a significant number of speakers within the Manim Community, an additional step of proofreading is used after crowdsourcing to further ensure the quality of our translations. Proofreaders are trusted community members who will look over and give the final approval on translations. If you would like to be a proofreader, please email [translations@manim.community](mailto:translations%40manim.community) with the answers to the following questions: 1. What is your Crowdin username? 2. What is your Discord username (optional)? 3. What is your GitHub username (optional)? 4. List the languages you speak, and your level of fluency with them. 5. What language(s) are you applying to be a proofreader for? 6. Do you have any previous experience with translations? 7. If yes, give us more details. 8. How will you ensure the quality of translations, should you become a proofreader? Please note that you don’t need to have prior translation experience to be a proofreader, just a commitment to maintaining a good quality of translations. Errors[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/internationalization.html#errors "Link to this heading") ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ### Source errors[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/internationalization.html#source-errors "Link to this heading") If you spot an error with a source string, report it to us by opening an [issue](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/issues/new/choose) on GitHub. Refrain from translating the string until the issue is resolved. --- # v0.15.1 - Manim Community v0.20.1 Contents Menu Expand Light mode Dark mode Auto light/dark, in light mode Auto light/dark, in dark mode [Skip to content](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.15.1-changelog.html#furo-main-content) [Back to top](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.15.1-changelog.html#) [View this page](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/blob/main/docs/source/changelog/0.15.1-changelog.rst?plain=true "View this page") [Edit this page](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/edit/main/docs/source/changelog/0.15.1-changelog.rst "Edit this page") v0.15.1[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.15.1-changelog.html#v0-15-1 "Link to this heading") ================================================================================================================== Date: March 08, 2022 Contributors[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.15.1-changelog.html#contributors "Link to this heading") ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A total of 9 people contributed to this release.

`ease_out_elastic`) can go outside the range from 0 to 1. * Fixed lag ratios so that they’re spaced out evenly within the time interval and the rate functions are applied to each animation individually, rather than having the rate function determine when the animation starts. * Fixed faulty code for `ease_in_out_expo`, `ease_in_bounce`, `ease_out_bounce`, and `ease_in_out_bounce`. * [PR

=============================================================================================================== Date: October 21, 2020 This is the first release of manimce after forking from 3b1b/manim. As such, developers have focused on cleaning up and refactoring the codebase while still maintaining backwards compatibility wherever possible. New Features[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.1.0-changelog.html#new-features "Link to this heading") --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ### Command line[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.1.0-changelog.html#command-line "Link to this heading") 1. Output of ‘manim –help’ has been improved 2. Implement logging with the `rich` library and a `logger` object instead of plain ol’ prints 3. Added a flag `--dry_run`, which doesn’t write any media 4. Allow for running manim with `python3 -m manim` 5. Refactored Tex Template management. You can now use custom templates with command line args using `--tex_template`! 6. Re-add `--save_frames` flag, which will save each frame as a png 7. Re-introduce manim feature that allows you to type manim code in `stdin` if you pass a minus sign `(-)` as filename 8. Added the `--custom_folders` flag which yields a simpler output folder structure 9. Re-implement GIF export with the `-i` flag (using this flag outputs ONLY a .gif file, and no .mp4 file) 10. Added a `--verbose` flag 11. You can save the logs to a file by using `--log_to_file` 12. Read `tex_template` from config file if not specified by `--tex_template`. 13. Add experimental javascript rendering with `--use_js_renderer` 14. Add `-q/--quality [k|p|h|m|l]` flag and removed `-m/-l` flags. 15. Removed `--sound` flag ### Config system[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.1.0-changelog.html#config-system "Link to this heading") 1. Implement a `manim.cfg` config file system, that consolidates the global configuration, the command line argument parsing, and some of the constants defined in `constants.py` 2. Added utilities for manipulating Manim’s `.cfg` files. 3. Added a subcommand structure for easier use of utilities managing `.cfg` files 4. Also some variables have been moved from `constants.py` to the new config system: > 1. `FRAME_HEIGHT` to `config["frame_width"]` > > 2. `TOP` to `config["frame_height"] / 2 * UP` > > 3. `BOTTOM` to `config["frame_height"] / 2 * DOWN` > > 4. `LEFT_SIDE` to `config["frame_width"] / 2 * LEFT` > > 5. `RIGHT_SIDE` to `config["frame_width"] / 2 * RIGHT` > > 6. `self.camera.frame_rate` to `config["frame_rate"]` > ### Mobjects, Scenes, and Animations[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.1.0-changelog.html#mobjects-scenes-and-animations "Link to this heading") 1. Add customizable left and right bracket for `Matrix` mobject and `set_row_colors` method for matrix mobject 2. Add `AddTeXLetterByLetter` animation 3. Enhanced GraphScene > 1. You can now add arrow tips to axes > > 2. extend axes a bit at the start and/or end > > 3. have invisible axes > > 4. highlight the area between two curves > 4. ThreeDScene now supports 3dillusion\_camera\_rotation 5. Add `z_index` for manipulating depth of Objects on scene. 6. Add a `VDict` class: a `VDict` is to a `VGroup` what a `dict` is to a `list` 7. Added Scene-caching feature. Now, if a partial movie file is unchanged in your code, it isn’t rendered again! \[HIGHLY UNSTABLE We’re working on it ;)\] 8. Most `get_` and `set_` methods have been removed in favor of instance attributes and properties 9. The `Container` class has been made into an AbstractBaseClass, i.e. in cannot be instantiated. Instead, use one of its children classes 10. The `TextMobject` and `TexMobject` objects have been deprecated, due to their confusing names, in favour of `Tex` and `MathTex`. You can still, however, continue to use `TextMobject` and `TexMobject`, albeit with Deprecation Warnings constantly reminding you to switch. 11. Add a `Variable` class for displaying text that continuously updates to reflect the value of a python variable. 12. The `Tex` and `MathTex` objects allow you to specify a custom TexTemplate using the `template` keyword argument. 13. `VGroup` now supports printing the class names of contained mobjects and `VDict` supports printing the internal dict of mobjects 14. Add all the standard easing functions 15. `Scene` now renders when `Scene.render()` is called rather than upon instantiation. 16. `ValueTracker` now supports increment using the += operator (in addition to the already existing increment\_value method) 17. Add `PangoText` for rendering texts using Pango. Documentation[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.1.0-changelog.html#documentation "Link to this heading") ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Added clearer installation instructions, tutorials, examples, and API reference \[WIP\] Fixes[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.1.0-changelog.html#fixes "Link to this heading") ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Initialization of directories has been moved to `config.py`, and a bunch of bugs associated to file structure generation have been fixed 2. Nonfunctional file `media_dir.txt` has been removed 3. Nonfunctional `if` statements in `scene_file_writer.py` have been removed 4. Fix a bug where trying to render the example scenes without specifying the scene would show all scene objects in the library 5. Many `Exceptions` have been replaced for more specific exception subclasses 6. Fixed a couple of subtle bugs in `ArcBetweenPoints` Of interest to developers[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.1.0-changelog.html#of-interest-to-developers "Link to this heading") ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Python code formatting is now enforced by using the `black` tool 2. PRs now require two approving code reviews from community devs before they can be merged 3. Added tests to ensure stuff doesn’t break between commits (For developers) \[Uses Github CI, and Pytest\] 4. Add contribution guidelines (for developers) 5. Added autogenerated documentation with sphinx and autodoc/autosummary \[WIP\] 6. Made manim internally use relative imports 7. Since the introduction of the `TexTemplate` class, the files `tex_template.tex` and `ctex_template.tex` have been removed 8. Added logging tests tools. 9. Added ability to save logs in json 10. Move to Poetry. 11. Colors have moved to an Enum Other Changes[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.1.0-changelog.html#other-changes "Link to this heading") ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Cleanup 3b1b Specific Files 2. Rename package from manimlib to manim 3. Move all imports to `__init__`, so `from manim import *` replaces `from manimlib.imports import *` 4. Global dir variable handling has been removed. Instead `initialize_directories`, if needed, overrides the values from the cfg files at runtime. --- # v0.1.1 - Manim Community v0.20.1 Contents Menu Expand Light mode Dark mode Auto light/dark, in light mode Auto light/dark, in dark mode [Skip to content](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.1.1-changelog.html#furo-main-content) [Back to top](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.1.1-changelog.html#) [View this page](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/blob/main/docs/source/changelog/0.1.1-changelog.rst?plain=true "View this page") [Edit this page](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/edit/main/docs/source/changelog/0.1.1-changelog.rst "Edit this page") v0.1.1[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.1.1-changelog.html#v0-1-1 "Link to this heading") =============================================================================================================== Date: December 1, 2020 Changes since Manim Community release v0.1.0 Plugins[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.1.1-changelog.html#plugins "Link to this heading") ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.

The old implementation is still available as a fallback as `CairoText`. 3. Variations of [`Dot`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.geometry.arc.Dot.html#manim.mobject.geometry.arc.Dot "manim.mobject.geometry.arc.Dot") have been added as [`AnnotationDot`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.geometry.arc.AnnotationDot.html#manim.mobject.geometry.arc.AnnotationDot "manim.mobject.geometry.arc.AnnotationDot") (a bigger dot with bolder stroke) and [`LabeledDot`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.geometry.arc.LabeledDot.html#manim.mobject.geometry.arc.LabeledDot "manim.mobject.geometry.arc.LabeledDot") (a dot containing a label). 4. Scene.set\_variables\_as\_attrs has been removed (via [PR #692](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/692) ). 5. Ensure that the axes for graphs (`GraphScene`) always intersect ([PR #580](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/580) ). 6. Now Mobject.add\_updater does not call the newly-added updater by default (use `call_updater=True` instead) (via [PR #710](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/710) ) 7. VMobject now has methods to determine and change the direction of the points (via [PR #647](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/647) ). 8.

See [`LogBase`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.graphing.scale.LogBase.html#manim.mobject.graphing.scale.LogBase "manim.mobject.graphing.scale.LogBase") (for a logarithmic scale) and [`LinearBase`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.graphing.scale.LinearBase.html#manim.mobject.graphing.scale.LinearBase "manim.mobject.graphing.scale.LinearBase") (for the default scale) for more details and examples. * [PR #2152](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/2152) : Introduced API for scene sections via [`Scene.next_section()`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.scene.scene.Scene.html#manim.scene.scene.Scene.next_section "manim.scene.scene.Scene.next_section") Sections divide a scene into multiple parts, resulting in multiple output videos (when using the `--save_sections` flag). The cuts between two sections are defined by the user in the [`construct()`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.scene.scene.Scene.html#manim.scene.scene.Scene.construct "manim.scene.scene.Scene.construct") method. Each section has an optional name and type, which can be used by a plugin ([see an example](https://github.com/ManimEditorProject/manim_editor) ). You can skip rendering specific sections with the `skip_animations` keyword argument. ### Deprecated classes and

v0.2.0[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.2.0-changelog.html#v0-2-0 "Link to this heading") =============================================================================================================== Date: January 1, 2021 The changes since Manim Community release v0.1.1 are listed below. Breaking Changes[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.2.0-changelog.html#breaking-changes "Link to this heading") ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Remove all CONFIG dictionaries and all calls to `digest_config` and allow passing options directly to the constructor of the corresponding classes ([PR #783](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/783) ). Practically, this means that old constructions using `CONFIG` like: class SomeMobject(Thing): CONFIG \= { "my\_awesome\_property": 42 } where corresponding objects were then instantiated as `my_mobject = SomeMobject()` should now be created simply using `my_mobject = SomeMobject(my_awesome_property=42)`. * Remove old syntax for animating mobject methods by passing the methods and arguments to `self.play`, and use a new syntax featuring the `animate` property ([PR #881](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/881) ). For example: the old-style `play` call self.play(my\_square.shift, LEFT) should be replaced with the new following call using the `animate` property: self.play(my\_square.animate.shift(LEFT)) New Features[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.2.0-changelog.html#new-features "Link to this heading") --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Added creation animation for [`ManimBanner`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.logo.ManimBanner.html#manim.mobject.logo.ManimBanner "manim.mobject.logo.ManimBanner") ([PR #814](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/814) ) * Added some documentation to [`construct()`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.scene.scene.Scene.html#manim.scene.scene.Scene.construct "manim.scene.scene.Scene.construct") ([PR #753](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/753) ) * Added a black and white monochromatic version of Manim’s logo ([PR #826](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/826) ) * Added support for a plugin system (`manim plugin` subcommand + documentation) ([PR #784](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/784) ) * Implemented `__add__`, `__iadd__`, `__sub__`, and `__isub__` for [`Mobject`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject.html#manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject "manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject") (allowing for notation like `some_vgroup + some_mobject`) ([PR #790](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/790) ) * Added type hints to several files in the library ([PR #835](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/835) ) * Added some examples to [`creation`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.animation.creation.html#module-manim.animation.creation "manim.animation.creation") ([PR #820](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/820) ) * Added some examples to [`DashedLine`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.geometry.line.DashedLine.html#manim.mobject.geometry.line.DashedLine "manim.mobject.geometry.line.DashedLine") and [`CurvesAsSubmobjects`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.types.vectorized_mobject.CurvesAsSubmobjects.html#manim.mobject.types.vectorized_mobject.CurvesAsSubmobjects "manim.mobject.types.vectorized_mobject.CurvesAsSubmobjects") ([PR #833](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/833) ) * Added new implementation for text rendered with Pango, [`MarkupText`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.text.text_mobject.MarkupText.html#manim.mobject.text.text_mobject.MarkupText "manim.mobject.text.text_mobject.MarkupText") , which can be formatted with an HTML-like syntax ([PR #855](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/855) ) * Added Fading in and out examples and deprecation of `FadeInFromDown` and `FadeOutAndShiftDown` ([PR #827](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/827) ) * Added example for [`MoveAlongPath`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.animation.movement.MoveAlongPath.html#manim.animation.movement.MoveAlongPath "manim.animation.movement.MoveAlongPath") to the docs ([PR #873](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/873) ) * Added ambient rotate for other angles -

Install git: For instructions see [https://git-scm.com/](https://git-scm.com/) . 2. Fork the project: Go to [https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim) and click the “fork” button to create a copy of the project for you to work on. You will need a GitHub account. This will allow you to make a “Pull Request” (PR) to the ManimCommunity repo later on. 3. Clone your fork to your local computer: git clone https://github.com//manim.git GitHub will provide both a SSH (`git@github.com:/manim.git`) and HTTPS (`https://github.com//manim.git`) URL for cloning. You can use SSH if you have SSH keys setup. Warning Do not clone the ManimCommunity repository. You must clone your own fork. 4. Change the directory to enter the project folder: cd manim 5. Add the upstream repository, ManimCommunity: git remote add upstream https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim.git 6. Now, `git remote -v` should show two remote repositories named: * `origin`, your forked repository * `upstream` the ManimCommunity repository 7. Install the Python project management tool `uv`, as recommended in our [installation guide for users](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/installation/uv.html) . 8. Let `uv` create a virtual environment for your development installation by running uv sync In case you need (or want) to install some of the optional dependency groups defined in our [`pyproject.toml`](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/blob/main/pyproject.toml) , run `uv sync --all-extras`, or pass the `--extra` flag with the name of a group, for example `uv sync --extra jupyterhub`. 9. Install Pre-Commit: uv run pre-commit install This will ensure during development that each of your commits is properly formatted against our linter and formatters. You are now ready to work on Manim! Develop your contribution[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/development.html#develop-your-contribution "Link to this heading") ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Checkout your local repository’s main branch and pull the latest changes from ManimCommunity, `upstream`, into your local repository: git switch main git pull \--rebase upstream main 2. Create a branch for the changes you want to work on rather than working off of your local main branch: git switch \-c upstream/main This ensures you can easily update your local repository’s main with the first step and switch branches to work on multiple features. 3. Write some awesome code! You’re ready to make changes in your local repository’s branch. You can add local files you’ve changed within the current directory with `git add .`, or add specific files with git add and commit these changes to your local history with `git commit`. If you have installed pre-commit, your commit will succeed only if none of the hooks fail. Tip When crafting commit messages, it is highly recommended that you adhere to [these guidelines](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) . 4. Add new or update existing tests. Depending on your changes, you may need to update or add new tests. For new features, it is required that you include tests with your PR. Details of our testing system are explained in the [testing guide](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/testing.html) . 5. Update docstrings and documentation: Update the docstrings (the text in triple quotation marks) of any functions or classes you change and include them with any new functions you add. See the [documentation guide](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/docs/docstrings.html) for more information about how we prefer our code to be documented. The content of the docstrings will be rendered in the [reference manual](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference.html) . Tip Use the [`manim directive for Sphinx`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.utils.docbuild.manim_directive.html#module-manim.utils.docbuild.manim_directive "manim.utils.docbuild.manim_directive") to add examples to the documentation! As far as development on your local machine goes, these are the main steps you should follow. Polishing Changes and Submitting a Pull Request[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/development.html#polishing-changes-and-submitting-a-pull-request "Link to this heading") ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As soon as you are ready to share your local changes with the community so that they can be discussed, go through the following steps to open a pull request. A pull request signifies to the ManimCommunity organization, “Here are some changes I wrote; I think it’s worthwhile for you to maintain them.” Note You do not need to have everything (code/documentation/tests) complete to open a pull request (PR). If the PR is still under development, please mark it as a draft. Community developers will still be able to review the changes, discuss yet-to-be-implemented changes, and offer advice; however, the more complete your PR, the quicker it will be merged. 1. Update your fork on GitHub to reflect your local changes: git push \-u origin Doing so creates a new branch on your remote fork, `origin`, with the contents of your local repository on GitHub. In subsequent pushes, this local branch will track the branch `origin` and `git push` is enough. 2. Make a pull request (PR) on GitHub. In order to make the ManimCommunity development team aware of your changes, you can make a PR to the ManimCommunity repository from your fork. Warning Make sure to select `ManimCommunity/manim` instead of `3b1b/manim` as the base repository! Choose the branch from your fork as the head repository - see the screenshot below. ![../_images/pull-requests.png](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/_images/pull-requests.png) Please make sure you follow the template (this is the default text you are shown when first opening the ‘New Pull Request’ page). Your changes are eligible to be merged if: 1. there are no merge conflicts 2. the tests in our pipeline pass 3. at least one (two for more complex changes) Community Developer approves the changes You can check for merge conflicts between the current upstream/main and your branch by executing `git pull upstream main` locally. If this generates any merge conflicts, you need to resolve them and push an updated version of the branch to your fork of the repository. Our pipeline consists of a series of different tests that ensure that Manim still works as intended and that the code you added sticks to our coding conventions. * **Code style**: We use the code style imposed by [Black](https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) , [isort](https://pycqa.github.io/isort/) and [flake8](https://flake8.pycqa.org/en/latest/) . The GitHub pipeline makes sure that the (Python) files changed in your pull request also adhere to this code style. If this step of the pipeline fails, fix your code formatting automatically by running `black ` and `isort `. To fix code style problems, run `flake8 ` for a style report, and then fix the problems manually that were detected by `flake8`. * **Tests**: The pipeline runs Manim’s test suite on different operating systems (the latest versions of Ubuntu, macOS, and Windows) for different versions of Python. The test suite consists of two different kinds of tests: integration tests and doctests. You can run them locally by executing `uv run pytest` and `uv run pytest --doctest-modules manim`, respectively, from the root directory of your cloned fork. * **Documentation**: We also build a version of the documentation corresponding to your pull request. Make sure not to introduce any Sphinx errors, and have a look at the built HTML files to see whether the formatting of the documentation you added looks as you intended. You can build the documentation locally by running `make html` from the `docs` directory. Make sure you have [Graphviz](https://graphviz.org/) installed locally in order to build the inheritance diagrams. See [Adding Documentation](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/docs.html) for more information. Finally, if the pipeline passes and you are satisfied with your changes: wait for feedback and iterate over any requested changes. You will likely be asked to edit or modify your PR in one way or another during this process. This is not an indictment of your work, but rather a strong signal that the community wants to merge your changes! Once approved, your changes may be merged! ### Further useful guidelines[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/contributing/development.html#further-useful-guidelines "Link to this heading") 1. When submitting a PR, please mention explicitly if it includes breaking changes. 2. When submitting a PR, make sure that your proposed changes are as general as possible, and ready to be taken advantage of by all of Manim’s users. In particular, leave out any machine-specific configurations, or any personal information it may contain. 3. If you are a maintainer, please label issues and PRs appropriately and frequently. 4. When opening a new issue, if there are old issues that are related, add a link to them in your new issue (even if the old ones are closed). 5. When submitting a code review, it is highly recommended that you adhere to [these general guidelines](https://conventionalcomments.org/) . 6. If you find stale or inactive issues that seem to be irrelevant, please post a comment saying ‘This issue should be closed’, and a community developer will take a look. 7. Please do as much as possible to keep issues, PRs, and development in general as tidy as possible. You can find examples for the `docs` in several places: the [Example Gallery](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/examples.html) , [Tutorials](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/tutorials/index.html) , and [Reference Classes](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference.html) . **Thank you for contributing!** --- # v0.15.0 - Manim Community v0.20.1 Contents Menu Expand Light mode Dark mode Auto light/dark, in light mode Auto light/dark, in dark mode [Skip to content](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.15.0-changelog.html#furo-main-content) [Back to top](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.15.0-changelog.html#) [View this page](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/blob/main/docs/source/changelog/0.15.0-changelog.rst?plain=true "View this page") [Edit this page](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/edit/main/docs/source/changelog/0.15.0-changelog.rst "Edit this page") v0.15.0[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.15.0-changelog.html#v0-15-0 "Link to this heading") ================================================================================================================== Date: February 26, 2022 Contributors[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.15.0-changelog.html#contributors "Link to this heading") ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A total of 34 people contributed to this release.

Since it’s only used for beziers, only 2 choose k and 3 choose k will be used, hence a size of 10 should be enough. * Removed `clip_in_place` in favor of `np.clip` * Removed one use of `clip_in_place` that wasn’t actually doing anything * [PR #2439](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/2439) : Removed twitter template from scripts ### New releases[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.15.0-changelog.html#new-releases "Link to this heading") * [PR #2547](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/2547) : Prepared new release, `v0.15.0` --- # Code of Conduct - Manim Community v0.20.1 Contents Menu Expand Light mode Dark mode Auto light/dark, in light mode Auto light/dark, in dark mode [Skip to content](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/conduct.html#furo-main-content) [Back to top](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/conduct.html#) [View this page](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/blob/main/docs/source/conduct.md?plain=true "View this page") [Edit this page](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/edit/main/docs/source/conduct.md "Edit this page") Code of Conduct[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/conduct.html#code-of-conduct "Link to this heading") =============================================================================================================== > TL;DR Be excellent to each other; we’re a community after all.

Acknowledge the receipt of the report. 2. Evaluate conflicts of interest. 3. Call a meeting of code of conduct team members without a conflict of interest. 4. Evaluate the reported incident. 5. Propose a behavioral modification plan. 6. Propose consequences for the reported behavior. 7. Vote on behavioral modification plan and consequences for the reported person. 8. Contact Manim Community moderators to approve the behavioral modification plan and consequences. 9. Follow up with the reported person. 10. Decide further responses. 11. Follow up with the reporter. ### Acknowledge the report[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/conduct.html#acknowledge-the-report "Link to this heading") Reporters should receive an acknowledgment of the receipt of their report within 48 hours. ### Conflict of interest policy[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/conduct.html#conflict-of-interest-policy "Link to this heading") Examples of conflicts of interest include: * You have a romantic or platonic relationship with either the reporter or the reported person. It’s fine to participate if they are an acquaintance. * The reporter or reported person is someone you work closely with. This could be someone on your team or someone who works on the same project as you. * The reporter or reported person is a maintainer who regularly reviews your contributions * The reporter or reported person is your metamour. * The reporter or reported person is your family member Committee members do not need to state why they have a conflict of interest, only that one exists. Other team members should not ask why the person has a conflict of interest. Anyone who has a conflict of interest will remove themselves from the discussion of the incident, and recluse themselves from voting on a response to the report. ### Evaluating a report[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/conduct.html#evaluating-a-report "Link to this heading") #### Jurisdiction[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/conduct.html#jurisdiction "Link to this heading") * _Is this a Code of Conduct violation?_ Is this behavior on our list of inappropriate behavior? Is it borderline inappropriate behavior? Does it violate our community norms? * _Did this occur in a space that is within our Code of Conduct’s scope?_ If the incident occurred outside the community, but a community member’s mental health or physical safety may be negatively impacted if no action is taken, the incident may be in scope. Private conversations in community spaces are also in scope. #### Impact[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/conduct.html#impact "Link to this heading") * _Did this incident occur in a private conversation or a public space?_ Incidents that all community members can see will have a more negative impact. * _Does this behavior negatively impact a marginalized group in our community?_ Is the reporter a person from a marginalized group in our community? How is the reporter being negatively impacted by the reported person’s behavior? Are members of the marginalized group likely to disengage with the community if no action was taken on this report? * _Does this incident involve a community leader?_ Community members often look up to community leaders to set the standard of acceptable behavior #### Risk[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/conduct.html#risk "Link to this heading") * _Does this incident include sexual harassment?_ * _Does this pose a safety risk?_ Does the behavior put a person’s physical safety at risk? Will this incident severely negatively impact someone’s mental health? * _Is there a risk of this behavior being repeated?_ Does the reported person understand why their behavior was inappropriate? Is there an established pattern of behavior from past reports? Reports which involve higher risk or higher impact may face more severe consequences than reports which involve lower risk or lower impact. ### Propose consequences[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/conduct.html#propose-consequences "Link to this heading") What follows are examples of possible consequences of an incident report. This list of consequences is not exhaustive, and the Manim Community Code of Conduct team reserves the right to take any action it deems necessary. Possible private responses to an incident include: * Nothing, if the behavior was determined to not be a Code of Conduct violation * A warning * A final warning * Temporarily removing the reported person from the community’s online space(s) * Permanently removing the reported person from the community’s online space(s) * Publishing an account of the incident ### Team vote[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/conduct.html#team-vote "Link to this heading") Some team members may have a conflict of interest and may be excluded from discussions of a particular incident report. Excluding those members, decisions on the behavioral modification plans and consequences will be determined by a two-thirds majority vote of the Manim Community Code of Conduct team. ### Moderators approval[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/conduct.html#moderators-approval "Link to this heading") Once the team has approved the behavioral modification plans and consequences, they will communicate the recommended response to the Manim Community moderators. The team should not state who reported this incident. They should attempt to anonymize any identifying information from the report. Moderators are required to respond with whether they accept the recommended response to the report. If they disagree with the recommended response, they should provide a detailed response or additional context as to why they disagree. Moderators are encouraged to respond within a week. In cases where the moderators disagree on the suggested resolution for a report, the Manim Community Code of Conduct team may choose to notify the Manim Community Moderators. ### Follow up with the reported person[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/conduct.html#follow-up-with-the-reported-person "Link to this heading") The Manim Community Code of Conduct team will work with Manim Community moderators to draft a response to the reported person. The response should contain: * A description of the person’s behavior in neutral language * The negative impact of that behavior * A concrete behavioral modification plan * Any consequences of their behavior The team should not state who reported this incident. They should attempt to anonymize any identifying information from the report. The reported person should be discouraged from contacting the reporter to discuss the report. If they wish to apologize to the reporter, the team can accept the apology on behalf of the reporter. ### Decide further responses[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/conduct.html#decide-further-responses "Link to this heading") If the reported person provides additional context, the Manim Community Code of Conduct team may need to re-evaluate the behavioral modification plan and consequences. ### Follow up with the reporter[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/conduct.html#follow-up-with-the-reporter "Link to this heading") A person who makes a report should receive a follow-up response stating what action was taken in response to the report. If the team decided no response was needed, they should provide an explanation why it was not a Code of Conduct violation. Reports that are not made in good faith (such as “reverse sexism” or “reverse racism”) may receive no response. The follow-up should be sent no later than one week after the receipt of the report. If deliberation or follow-up with the reported person takes longer than one week, the team should send a status update to the reporter. ### Changes to Code of Conduct[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/conduct.html#changes-to-code-of-conduct "Link to this heading") When discussing a change to the Manim Community code of conduct or enforcement procedures, the Manim Community Code of Conduct team will follow this decision-making process: * **Brainstorm options.** Team members should discuss any relevant context and brainstorm a set of possible options. It is important to provide constructive feedback without getting side-tracked from the main question. * **Vote.** Proposed changes to the code of conduct will be decided by a two-thirds majority of all voting members of the Code of Conduct team. Team members are listed in the charter. Currently active voting members are listed in the following section. * **Board Vote.** Once a working draft is in place for the Code of Conduct and procedures, the Code of Conduct team shall provide the Manim Community Moderators with a draft of the changes. The Manim Community Moderators will vote on the changes at a board meeting. ### Current list of voting members[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/conduct.html#current-list-of-voting-members "Link to this heading") * All available Community Developers (i.e. those with “write” permissions, or above, on the Manim Community GitHub organization).

v0.19.0[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.19.0-changelog.html#v0-19-0 "Link to this heading") ================================================================================================================== Date: January 20, 2025 Major Changes[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.19.0-changelog.html#major-changes "Link to this heading") ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ With the release of Manim v0.19.0, we’ve made lots of progress with making Manim easier to install! One of the biggest changes in this release is the replacement of the external `ffmpeg` dependency with the `pyav` library. This means that users no longer have to install `ffmpeg` in order to use Manim - they can just `pip install manim` and it will work! In light of this change, we also rewrote our [installation docs](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/installation.html#local-installation) to recommend using a new tool called [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) to install Manim. Note Do not worry if you installed Manim with any previous methods, like homebrew, pip, choco, or scoop. Those methods will still work, and are not deprecated. However, the recommended way to install Manim is now with [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) .

While `pyav` technically also uses `ffmpeg` internally, the maintainers of `pyav` distribute it in their binary wheels. * [PR #3518](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/3518) : Created a [`HSV`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.utils.color.core.HSV.html#manim.utils.color.core.HSV "manim.utils.color.core.HSV") color class, and added support for custom color spaces This extends the color system of Manim and adds support to implement custom color spaces. See the implementation of [`HSV`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.utils.color.core.HSV.html#manim.utils.color.core.HSV "manim.utils.color.core.HSV") for a practical example. * [PR #3930](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/3930) : Completely reworked the installation instructions As a consequence of removing the need for the external `ffmpeg` dependency, we have reworked and massively simplified the installation instructions. Given that practically, user-written scenes are effectively small self-contained Python projects, the new instructions strongly recommend using the [project and dependency management tool uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) to ensure a consistent and reproducible environment. * [PR #3967](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/3967) : Added support for Python 3.13 This adds support for Python 3.13, which brings the range of currently supported Python versions to 3.9 – 3.13. * [PR #3966](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/3966) : [`VGroup`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.types.vectorized_mobject.VGroup.html#manim.mobject.types.vectorized_mobject.VGroup "manim.mobject.types.vectorized_mobject.VGroup") can now be initialized with [`VMobject`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.types.vectorized_mobject.VMobject.html#manim.mobject.types.vectorized_mobject.VMobject "manim.mobject.types.vectorized_mobject.VMobject") iterables Groups of Mobjects can now be created by passing an iterable to the [`VGroup`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.types.vectorized_mobject.VGroup.html#manim.mobject.types.vectorized_mobject.VGroup "manim.mobject.types.vectorized_mobject.VGroup") constructors: my\_group \= VGroup(Dot() for \_ in range(10)) ### Breaking changes[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.19.0-changelog.html#breaking-changes "Link to this heading") * [PR #3797](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/3797) : Replaced `Code.styles_list` with [`Code.get_styles_list()`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.text.code_mobject.Code.html#manim.mobject.text.code_mobject.Code.get_styles_list "manim.mobject.text.code_mobject.Code.get_styles_list") The `styles_list` attribute of the [`Code`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.text.code_mobject.Code.html#manim.mobject.text.code_mobject.Code "manim.mobject.text.code_mobject.Code") class has been replaced with a class method [`Code.get_styles_list()`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.text.code_mobject.Code.html#manim.mobject.text.code_mobject.Code.get_styles_list "manim.mobject.text.code_mobject.Code.get_styles_list") . This method returns a list of all available values for the `formatter_style` argument of [`Code`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.text.code_mobject.Code.html#manim.mobject.text.code_mobject.Code "manim.mobject.text.code_mobject.Code") . * [PR #3884](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/3884) : Renamed parameters and variables conflicting with builtin functions To avoid having keyword arguments named after builtin functions, the following two changes were made to user-facing functions: * `ManimColor.from_hex(hex=...)` is now `ManimColor.from_hex(hex_str=...)` * `Scene.next_section(type=...)` is now `Scene.next_section(section_type=...)` * [PR #3922](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/3922) : Removed `inner_radius` and `outer_radius` from [`Sector`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.geometry.arc.Sector.html#manim.mobject.geometry.arc.Sector "manim.mobject.geometry.arc.Sector") constructor To construct a [`Sector`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.geometry.arc.Sector.html#manim.mobject.geometry.arc.Sector "manim.mobject.geometry.arc.Sector") , you now need to specify a `radius` (and an `angle`). In particular, [`AnnularSector`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.geometry.arc.AnnularSector.html#manim.mobject.geometry.arc.AnnularSector "manim.mobject.geometry.arc.AnnularSector") still accepts both `inner_radius` and `outer_radius` arguments. * [PR #3964](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/3964) : Allow [`SurroundingRectangle`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.geometry.shape_matchers.SurroundingRectangle.html#manim.mobject.geometry.shape_matchers.SurroundingRectangle "manim.mobject.geometry.shape_matchers.SurroundingRectangle") to accept multiple Mobjects This changes the signature of [`SurroundingRectangle`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.geometry.shape_matchers.SurroundingRectangle.html#manim.mobject.geometry.shape_matchers.SurroundingRectangle "manim.mobject.geometry.shape_matchers.SurroundingRectangle") to accept a sequence of Mobjects instead of a single Mobject. As a consequence, other arguments that could be specified as positional ones before now need to be specified as keyword arguments: SurroundingRectangle(some\_mobject, RED, 0.3) \# raises error now SurroundingRectangle(some\_mobject, color\=RED, buff\=0.3) \# correct usage * [PR #4115](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/4115) : Completely rewrite the implementation of the [`Code`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.text.code_mobject.Code.html#manim.mobject.text.code_mobject.Code "manim.mobject.text.code_mobject.Code") mobject This includes several breaking changes to the interface of the class to make it more consistent. See the documentation of [`Code`](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.text.code_mobject.Code.html#manim.mobject.text.code_mobject.Code "manim.mobject.text.code_mobject.Code") for a detailed description of the new interface, and the description of the pull request [PR #4115](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/4115) for an overview of changes to the old keyword arguments. ### New features[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/changelog/0.19.0-changelog.html#new-features "Link to this heading") * [PR #3148](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/3148) : Added a `colorscale` argument to

For `{{` to be recognised as a group opener it must appear either at the very start of the string or be immediately preceded by a whitespace character. `{{` that follows non-whitespace — such as in `\frac{{{n}}}{k}` or `a^{{2}}` — is left untouched, so ordinary nested-brace LaTeX is not accidentally split.

Rules that avoid false positives on ordinary LaTeX source: * `{{` is only treated as a group opener when it appears at the very start of the string or is immediately preceded by a whitespace character. Naturally-occurring `{{` in LaTeX is usually preceded by non-whitespace (e.g. `\frac{{{n}}}{k}` or `a^{{2}}`), so the whitespace guard eliminates the most common false positives without any brace-depth bookkeeping on the outer string. * Inside an open group the depth of _real_ LaTeX braces is tracked. `}}` only closes the Manim group when the inner depth is zero, so `{{ a^{b^{c}} }}` is handled correctly. * Escape sequences are consumed as two-character units in priority order: `\\` first (escaped backslash), then `\{` / `\}` (escaped braces). This ensures e.g. `\\}}` is read as an escaped backslash followed by a real `}}` rather than as `\` + `\}` + lone `}`.

In this implementation, polyhedra are defined with a list of vertex coordinates in space, and a list of faces. This implementation mirrors that of a standard polyhedral data format (OFF, object file format). Parameters: * **vertex\_coords** ([_Point3DLike\_Array_](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.typing.html#manim.typing.Point3DLike_Array "manim.typing.Point3DLike_Array") ) – A list of coordinates of the corresponding vertices in the polyhedron. Each coordinate will correspond to a vertex. The vertices are indexed with the usual indexing of Python. * **faces\_list** (_list__\[__list__\[__int__\]__\]_) – A list of faces. Each face is a sublist containing the indices of the vertices that form the corners of that face. * **faces\_config** (_dict__\[__str__,_ _str_ _|_ _int_ _|_ _float_ _|_ _bool__\]_) – Configuration for the polygons representing the faces of the polyhedron. * **graph\_config** (_dict__\[__str__,_ _Any__\]_) – Configuration for the graph containing the vertices and edges of the polyhedron. Examples To understand how to create a custom polyhedra, let’s use the example of a rather simple one - a square pyramid. Example: SquarePyramidScene [¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.three_d.polyhedra.Polyhedron.html#squarepyramidscene) ![../_images/SquarePyramidScene-1.png](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/_images/SquarePyramidScene-1.png) from manim import \* class SquarePyramidScene(ThreeDScene): def construct(self): self.set\_camera\_orientation(phi\=75 \* DEGREES, theta\=30 \* DEGREES) vertex\_coords \= \[\ \[1, 1, 0\],\ \[1, \-1, 0\],\ \[\-1, \-1, 0\],\ \[\-1, 1, 0\],\ \[0, 0, 2\]\ \] faces\_list \= \[\ \[0, 1, 4\],\ \[1, 2, 4\],\ \[2, 3, 4\],\ \[3, 0, 4\],\ \[0, 1, 2, 3\]\ \] pyramid \= Polyhedron(vertex\_coords, faces\_list) self.add(pyramid) class SquarePyramidScene(ThreeDScene): def construct(self): self.set\_camera\_orientation(phi=75 \* DEGREES, theta=30 \* DEGREES) vertex\_coords = \[\ \[1, 1, 0\],\ \[1, -1, 0\],\ \[-1, -1, 0\],\ \[-1, 1, 0\],\ \[0, 0, 2\]\ \] faces\_list = \[\ \[0, 1, 4\],\ \[1, 2, 4\],\ \[2, 3, 4\],\ \[3, 0, 4\],\ \[0, 1, 2, 3\]\ \] pyramid = Polyhedron(vertex\_coords, faces\_list) self.add(pyramid) In defining the polyhedron above, we first defined the coordinates of the vertices. These are the corners of the square base, given as the first four coordinates in the vertex list, and the apex, the last coordinate in the list. Next, we define the faces of the polyhedron. The triangular surfaces of the pyramid are polygons with two adjacent vertices in the base and the vertex at the apex as corners. We thus define these surfaces in the first four elements of our face list. The last element defines the base of the pyramid. The graph and faces of polyhedra can also be accessed and modified directly, after instantiation. They are stored in the graph and faces attributes respectively.

This is demonstrated below: Example: AddIterableToVGroupExample [¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.types.vectorized_mobject.VGroup.html#additerabletovgroupexample) ![../_images/AddIterableToVGroupExample-1.png](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/_images/AddIterableToVGroupExample-1.png) from manim import \* class AddIterableToVGroupExample(Scene): def construct(self): v \= VGroup( Square(), \# Singular VMobject instance \[Circle(), Triangle()\], \# List of VMobject instances Dot(), (Dot() for \_ in range(2)), \# Iterable that generates VMobjects ) v.arrange() self.add(v) class AddIterableToVGroupExample(Scene): def construct(self): v = VGroup( Square(), # Singular VMobject instance \[Circle(), Triangle()\], # List of VMobject instances Dot(), (Dot() for \_ in range(2)), # Iterable that generates VMobjects ) v.arrange() self.add(v) To facilitate this, the iterable is unpacked before its individual instances are added to the VGroup. As a result, when you index a VGroup, you will never get back an iterable. Instead, you will always receive VMobject instances, including those that were part of the iterable/s that you originally added to the VGroup. --- # vector_field - Manim Community v0.20.1 Contents Menu Expand Light mode Dark mode Auto light/dark, in light mode Auto light/dark, in dark mode [Skip to content](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.vector_field.html#furo-main-content) [Back to top](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.vector_field.html#) [View this page](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/blob/main/docs/source/reference/manim.mobject.vector_field.rst?plain=true "View this page") [Edit this page](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/edit/main/docs/source/reference/manim.mobject.vector_field.rst "Edit this page") vector\_field[¶](https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/reference/manim.mobject.vector_field.html#module-manim.mobject.vector_field "Link to this heading") ============================================================================================================================================================ Mobjects representing vector fields.
