Write

Qualified name: manim.animation.creation.Write

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

Bases: DrawBorderThenFill

Simulate hand-writing a Text or hand-drawing a VMobject.

Examples

Example: ShowWrite

from manim import *

class ShowWrite(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        self.play(Write(Text("Hello", font_size=144)))

class ShowWrite(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        self.play(Write(Text("Hello", font_size=144)))

Example: ShowWriteReversed

from manim import *

class ShowWriteReversed(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        self.play(Write(Text("Hello", font_size=144), reverse=True, remover=False))

class ShowWriteReversed(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        self.play(Write(Text("Hello", font_size=144), reverse=True, remover=False))

Tests

Check that creating empty Write animations works:

>>> from manim import Write, Text
>>> Write(Text(''))
Write(Text(''))

Methods

begin	Begin the animation.
finish	Finish the animation.
reverse_submobjects

Attributes

run_time

Parameters:

• vmobject (VMobject | OpenGLVMobject)

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

• reverse (bool)

_original__init__(vmobject, rate_func=<function linear>, reverse=False, **kwargs)

Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

Parameters:

• vmobject (VMobject | OpenGLVMobject)

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

• reverse (bool)

Return type:

None

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

finish()

Finish the animation.

This method gets called when the animation is over.

Return type:

None
