Wait

Qualified name: manim.animation.animation.Wait

class Wait(mobject=None, *args, use_override=True, **kwargs)

Bases: Animation

A “no operation” animation.

Parameters:

• run_time (float) – The amount of time that should pass.

• stop_condition (Callable[[], bool] | None) – A function without positional arguments that evaluates to a boolean. The function is evaluated after every new frame has been rendered. Playing the animation stops after the return value is truthy, or after the specified run_time has passed.

• frozen_frame (bool | None) – Controls whether or not the wait animation is static, i.e., corresponds to a frozen frame. If False is passed, the render loop still progresses through the animation as usual and (among other things) continues to call updater functions. If None (the default value), the Scene.play() call tries to determine whether the Wait call can be static or not itself via Scene.should_mobjects_update().

• kwargs – Keyword arguments to be passed to the parent class, Animation.

• rate_func (Callable[[float], float]) –

Methods

begin	Begin the animation.
clean_up_from_scene	Clean up the Scene after finishing the animation.
finish	Finish the animation.
interpolate	Set the animation progress.
update_mobjects	Updates things like starting_mobject, and (for Transforms) target_mobject.

begin()

Begin the animation.

This method is called right as an animation is being played. As much initialization as possible, especially any mobject copying, should live in this method.

Return type:

None

clean_up_from_scene(scene)

Clean up the Scene after finishing the animation.

This includes to remove() the Animation’s Mobject if the animation is a remover.

Parameters:

scene (Scene) – The scene the animation should be cleaned up from.

Return type:

None

finish()

Finish the animation.

This method gets called when the animation is over.

Return type:

None

interpolate(alpha)

Set the animation progress.

This method gets called for every frame during an animation.

Parameters:

alpha (float) – The relative time to set the animation to, 0 meaning the start, 1 meaning the end.

Return type:

None

update_mobjects(dt)

Updates things like starting_mobject, and (for Transforms) target_mobject. Note, since typically (always?) self.mobject will have its updating suspended during the animation, this will do nothing to self.mobject.

Parameters:

dt (float) –

Return type:

None
