Rotate

Qualified name: manim.animation.rotation.Rotate

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

Bases: Transform

Animation that rotates a Mobject.

Parameters:

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

• angle (float) – The rotation angle.

• axis (np.ndarray) – The rotation axis as a numpy vector.

• about_point (Sequence[float] | None) – The rotation center.

• about_edge (Sequence[float] | None) – If about_point``is ``None, this argument specifies the direction of the bounding box point to be taken as the rotation center.

Examples

            Rotate(

                angle=2*PI,
                about_point=ORIGIN,
