Brace¶

Qualified name: manim.mobject.svg.brace.Brace

class Brace(mobject, direction=array([0., - 1., 0.]), buff=0.2, sharpness=2, stroke_width=0, fill_opacity=1.0, background_stroke_width=0, background_stroke_color='#000000', **kwargs)[source]¶

Bases: manim.mobject.svg.svg_path.SVGPathMobject

Takes a mobject and draws a brace adjacent to it.

Passing a direction vector determines the direction from which the brace is drawn. By default it is drawn from below.

Parameters

mobject (Mobject) – The mobject adjacent to which the brace is placed.
direction (Optional[Sequence[float]]) – The direction from which the brace faces the mobject.

Examples

Example: BraceExample ¶

from manim import *

class BraceExample(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        s = Square()
        self.add(s)
        for i in np.linspace(0.1,1.0,4):
            br = Brace(s, sharpness=i)
            t = Text(f"sharpness= {i}").next_to(br, RIGHT)
            self.add(t)
            self.add(br)
        VGroup(*self.mobjects).arrange(DOWN, buff=0.2)

Methods

`get_direction`	Uses `shoelace_direction()` to calculate the direction.
`get_tex`
`get_text`
`get_tip`
`put_at_tip`

Attributes

`animate`	Used to animate the application of a method.
`animation_overrides`
`depth`	The depth of the mobject.
`height`	The height of the mobject.
`width`	The width of the mobject.

get_direction()[source]¶

Uses shoelace_direction() to calculate the direction. The direction of points determines in which direction the object is drawn, clockwise or counterclockwise.

Examples

The default direction of a Circle is counterclockwise:

>>> from manim import Circle
>>> Circle().get_direction()
'CCW'

Returns: Either "CW" or "CCW".
Return type: str
