ApplyWave#

Qualified name: manim.animation.indication.ApplyWave

class ApplyWave(mobject=None, *args, use_override=True, **kwargs)[source]#

Bases: Homotopy

Send a wave through the Mobject distorting it temporarily.

Parameters:

  • mobject (Mobject) – The mobject to be distorted.

  • direction (ndarray) – The direction in which the wave nudges points of the shape

  • amplitude (float) – The distance points of the shape get shifted

  • wave_func (Callable[[float], float]) – The function defining the shape of one wave flank.

  • time_width (float) – The length of the wave relative to the width of the mobject.

  • ripples (int) – The number of ripples of the wave

  • run_time (float) – The duration of the animation.

Examples

Example: ApplyingWaves 

from manim import *

class ApplyingWaves(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        tex = Tex("WaveWaveWaveWaveWave").scale(2)
        self.play(ApplyWave(tex))
        self.play(ApplyWave(
            tex,
            direction=RIGHT,
            time_width=0.5,
            amplitude=0.3
        ))
        self.play(ApplyWave(
            tex,
            rate_func=linear,
            ripples=4
        ))
