Qualified name: manim.mobject.types.point\_cloud\_mobject.Point

class Point(location=array([0., 0., 0.]), color=ManimColor('#000000'), **kwargs)

Bases: PMobject

A mobject representing a point.

Examples

Example: ExamplePoint

from manim import *

class ExamplePoint(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        colorList = [RED, GREEN, BLUE, YELLOW]
        for i in range(200):
            point = Point(location=[0.63 * np.random.randint(-4, 4), 0.37 * np.random.randint(-4, 4), 0], color=np.random.choice(colorList))
            self.add(point)
        for i in range(200):
            point = Point(location=[0.37 * np.random.randint(-4, 4), 0.63 * np.random.randint(-4, 4), 0], color=np.random.choice(colorList))
            self.add(point)
        self.add(point)

Methods

generate_points	Initializes points and therefore the shape.
init_points

Attributes

always	Call a method on a mobject every frame.
animate	Used to animate the application of any method of self.
animation_overrides
depth	The depth of the mobject.
height	The height of the mobject.
width	The width of the mobject.

Parameters:

• location (Point3DLike)

• color (ManimColor)

• kwargs (Any)

_original__init__(location=array([0., 0., 0.]), color=ManimColor('#000000'), **kwargs)

Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

Parameters:

• location (Point3DLike)

• color (ManimColor)

• kwargs (Any)

Return type:

None

generate_points()

Initializes points and therefore the shape.

Gets called upon creation. This is an empty method that can be implemented by subclasses.

Return type:

None
