DashedVMobject

Qualified name: manim.mobject.types.vectorized\_mobject.DashedVMobject

class DashedVMobject(vmobject, num_dashes=15, dashed_ratio=0.5, dash_offset=0, color=ManimColor('#FFFFFF'), equal_lengths=True, **kwargs)

Bases: VMobject

A VMobject composed of dashes instead of lines.

Parameters:

• vmobject (VMobject) – The object that will get dashed

• num_dashes (int) – Number of dashes to add.

• dashed_ratio (float) – Ratio of dash to empty space.

• dash_offset (float) – Shifts the starting point of dashes along the path. Value 1 shifts by one full dash length.

• equal_lengths (bool) – If True, dashes will be (approximately) equally long. If False, dashes will be split evenly in the curve’s input t variable (legacy behavior).

• color (ManimColor) –
