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

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_3 = PointCloudDot(density=15)

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

Methods

generate_points	Initializes points and therefore the shape.
init_points

Attributes

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.

_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.

generate_points()

Initializes points and therefore the shape.

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