DecimalNumber

Qualified name: manim.mobject.text.numbers.DecimalNumber

class DecimalNumber(number=0, num_decimal_places=2, mob_class=<class 'manim.mobject.text.tex_mobject.MathTex'>, include_sign=False, group_with_commas=True, digit_buff_per_font_unit=0.001, show_ellipsis=False, unit=None, unit_buff_per_font_unit=0, include_background_rectangle=False, edge_to_fix=array([-1., 0., 0.]), font_size=48, stroke_width=0, fill_opacity=1.0, **kwargs)

Bases: VMobject

An mobject representing a decimal number.

Parameters:

• number (float) – The numeric value to be displayed. It can later be modified using set_value().

• num_decimal_places (int) – The number of decimal places after the decimal separator. Values are automatically rounded.

• mob_class (VMobject) – The class for rendering digits and units, by default MathTex.

• include_sign (bool) – Set to True to include a sign for positive numbers and zero.

• group_with_commas (bool) – When True thousands groups are separated by commas for readability.

• digit_buff_per_font_unit (float) – Additional spacing between digits. Scales with font size.

• show_ellipsis (bool) – When a number has been truncated by rounding, indicate with an ellipsis (...).

• unit (str | None) – A unit string which can be placed to the right of the numerical values.

• unit_buff_per_font_unit (float) – An additional spacing between the numerical values and the unit. A value of unit_buff_per_font_unit=0.003 gives a decent spacing. Scales with font size.

• include_background_rectangle (bool) – Adds a background rectangle to increase contrast on busy scenes.

• edge_to_fix (Sequence[float]) – Assuring right- or left-alignment of the full object.

• font_size (float) – Size of the font.

• stroke_width (float) –

• fill_opacity (float) –

_get_formatter(**kwargs)

Configuration is based first off instance attributes, but overwritten by any kew word argument. Relevant key words: - include_sign - group_with_commas - num_decimal_places - field_name (e.g. 0 or 0.real)

_original__init__(number=0, num_decimal_places=2, mob_class=<class 'manim.mobject.text.tex_mobject.MathTex'>, include_sign=False, group_with_commas=True, digit_buff_per_font_unit=0.001, show_ellipsis=False, unit=None, unit_buff_per_font_unit=0, include_background_rectangle=False, edge_to_fix=array([-1., 0., 0.]), font_size=48, stroke_width=0, fill_opacity=1.0, **kwargs)
