ChangeSpeed#

Qualified name: manim.animation.speedmodifier.ChangeSpeed

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

Bases: Animation

Modifies the speed of passed animation. AnimationGroup with different lag_ratio can also be used which combines multiple animations into one. The run_time of the passed animation is changed to modify the speed.

Parameters:
  • anim (Animation | _AnimationBuilder) – Animation of which the speed is to be modified.

  • speedinfo (dict[float, float]) – Contains nodes (percentage of run_time) and its corresponding speed factor.

  • rate_func (Callable[[float], float] | None) – Overrides rate_func of passed animation, applied before changing speed.

  • affects_speed_updaters (bool) –

Methods

add_updater

This static method can be used to apply speed change to updaters.

begin

Begin the animation.

clean_up_from_scene

Clean up the Scene after finishing the animation.

finish

Finish the animation.

get_scaled_total_time

The time taken by the animation under the assumption that the run_time is 1.

interpolate

Set the animation progress.

setup

update_mobjects

Updates things like starting_mobject, and (for Transforms) target_mobject.

Attributes

dt

is_changing_dt

_setup_scene(scene)[source]#

Setup up the Scene before starting the animation.

This includes to add() the Animation’s Mobject if the animation is an introducer.

Parameters:

scene – The scene the animation should be cleaned up from.

Return type:

None

classmethod add_updater(mobject, update_function, index=None, call_updater=False)[source]#

This static method can be used to apply speed change to updaters.

This updater will follow speed and rate function of any ChangeSpeed animation that is playing with affects_speed_updaters=True. By default, updater functions added via the usual Mobject.add_updater() method do not respect the change of animation speed.

Parameters:
  • mobject (Mobject) – The mobject to which the updater should be attached.

  • update_function (Union[Callable[[Mobject], None], Callable[[Mobject, float], None]]) – The function that is called whenever a new frame is rendered.

  • index (int | None) – The position in the list of the mobject’s updaters at which the function should be inserted.

  • call_updater (bool) – If True, calls the update function when attaching it to the mobject.

begin()[source]#

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)[source]#

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()[source]#

Finish the animation.

This method gets called when the animation is over.

Return type:

None

get_scaled_total_time()[source]#

The time taken by the animation under the assumption that the run_time is 1.

Return type:

float

interpolate(alpha)[source]#

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)[source]#

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
