Quick start

  • Render an animation: 3b1b:SquareToCircle

    from manimlib import *
    from manim_express import GlEagerScene
    
    scene = GlEagerScene()
    circle = Circle()
    circle.set_fill(BLUE, opacity=0.5)
    circle.set_stroke(BLUE_E, width=4)
    
    square = Square()
    scene.show_creation(square)
    scene.play(ReplacementTransform(square, circle))
    
    scene.hold_on()

    Operating graphics:

    • hold down the d key or mouse left on the keyboard and move the mouse to change the three-dimensional perspective.
    • hold down the s key or mouse right on the keyboard and move the mouse to pan the screen
    • hold down the z or ctrl on the keyboard while scrolling the middle mouse button to zoom the screen
    • scroll the middle mouse button to move the screen up and down
    • reset camera view by pressing r
    • close the window and exit the program by pressing q or tab
    • pause the animation by pressing space or ctrl or alt
    • previews animation clip by pressing LEFT
    • next animation clip: RIGHT
    • replay current animation clip: DOWN
  • manim_express vs Matplotlib:
    Eager mode usage:

    from manimlib import *
    from manim_express import GlEagerScene
    CONFIG.use_online_tex = True # If you don't have installed latex locally.
    theta = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, 200)
    x = np.cos(theta)
    y = np.sin(theta)
    
    scene = GlEagerScene()
    scene.plot(x, y, color=GREEN, width=2, scale_ratio=1)
    scene.show_plot()
    scene.hold_on()

    Object oriented usage:

    from manimlib import *
    from manim_express import GlEagerScene
    import numpy as np
    class ScatterExample(GlEagerScene):
        def clip_1(self):
          n_features = 2
          X = np.random.normal(0, 20, (2000, n_features))
          theta = np.linspace(0, np.pi*2, 150)
          r = 50
          x, y = r*np.cos(theta), r*np.sin(theta)
          self.scatter2d(X[:, 0], X[:, 1], size=.03, color=YELLOW, ratio=0.618)
          self.scatter2d(x, y, size=.03, color=BLUE)
    
    ScatterExample().render()
