PointCloudDot¶

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

class PointCloudDot(center=array([0., 0., 0.]), radius=2.0, stroke_width=2, density=10, color=ManimColor('#FFFF00'), **kwargs)[source]¶

Bases: Mobject1D

A disc made of a cloud of dots.

Examples

Example: PointCloudDotExample ¶

from manim import *

class PointCloudDotExample(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        cloud_1 = PointCloudDot(color=RED)
        cloud_2 = PointCloudDot(stroke_width=4, radius=1)
        cloud_3 = PointCloudDot(density=15)

        group = Group(cloud_1, cloud_2, cloud_3).arrange()
        self.add(group)

class PointCloudDotExample(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        cloud_1 = PointCloudDot(color=RED)
        cloud_2 = PointCloudDot(stroke_width=4, radius=1)
        cloud_3 = PointCloudDot(density=15)

        group = Group(cloud_1, cloud_2, cloud_3).arrange()
        self.add(group)

Example: PointCloudDotExample2 ¶

from manim import *

class PointCloudDotExample2(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        plane = ComplexPlane()
        cloud = PointCloudDot(color=RED)
        self.add(
            plane, cloud
        )
        self.wait()
        self.play(
            cloud.animate.apply_complex_function(lambda z: np.exp(z))
        )

class PointCloudDotExample2(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        plane = ComplexPlane()
        cloud = PointCloudDot(color=RED)
        self.add(
            plane, cloud
        )
        self.wait()
        self.play(
            cloud.animate.apply_complex_function(lambda z: np.exp(z))
        )

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:

center (Point3DLike)
radius (float)
stroke_width (int)
density (int)
color (ManimColor)
kwargs (Any)

_original__init__(center=array([0., 0., 0.]), radius=2.0, stroke_width=2, density=10, color=ManimColor('#FFFF00'), **kwargs)¶

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

Parameters:

center (Point3DLike)
radius (float)
stroke_width (int)
density (int)
color (ManimColor)
kwargs (Any)

Return type:

None

generate_points()[source]¶

Initializes points and therefore the shape.

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

Return type:: None
