add_axes(animate=False, color=ManimColor('#FFFFFF'), **kwargs)[source]#

Adds a pair of Axes to the Scene.

Parameters:

animate (bool) – Whether or not to animate the addition of the axes through Create.
color (bool) – The color of the axes. Defaults to WHITE.

add_plane(animate=False, **kwargs)[source]#

Adds a NumberPlane object to the background.

Parameters:

animate (bool) – Whether or not to animate the addition of the plane via Create.
**kwargs – Any valid keyword arguments accepted by NumberPlane.

Returns:

The NumberPlane object.

Return type:

NumberPlane

add_vector(vector, color=ManimColor('#FFFF00'), animate=True, **kwargs)[source]#

Returns the Vector after adding it to the Plane.

Parameters:

vector (manim.mobject.geometry.line.Arrow | list | tuple | numpy.ndarray) – It can be a pre-made graphical vector, or the coordinates of one.
color (str) – The string of the hex color of the vector. This is only taken into consideration if ‘vector’ is not an Arrow. Defaults to YELLOW.
animate (bool) – Whether or not to animate the addition of the vector by using GrowArrow
**kwargs – Any valid keyword argument of Arrow. These are only considered if vector is not an Arrow.

Returns:

The arrow representing the vector.

Return type:

Arrow

coords_to_vector(vector, coords_start=array([2., 2., 0.]), clean_up=True)[source]#

This method writes the vector as a column matrix (henceforth called the label), takes the values in it one by one, and form the corresponding lines that make up the x and y components of the vector. Then, an Vector() based vector is created between the lines on the Screen.

Parameters:

vector (numpy.ndarray | list | tuple) – The vector to show.
coords_start (numpy.ndarray | list | tuple) – The starting point of the location of the label of the vector that shows it numerically. Defaults to 2 * RIGHT + 2 * UP or (2,2)
clean_up (bool) – Whether or not to remove whatever this method did after it’s done.

get_basis_vector_labels(**kwargs)[source]#

Returns naming labels for the basis vectors.

Parameters:

**kwargs –

Any valid keyword arguments of get_vector_label:: vector, label (str,MathTex) at_tip (bool=False), direction (str=”left”), rotate (bool), color (str), label_scale_factor=VECTOR_LABEL_SCALE_FACTOR (int, float),

get_basis_vectors(i_hat_color=ManimColor('#83C167'), j_hat_color=ManimColor('#FC6255'))[source]#

Returns a VGroup of the Basis Vectors (1,0) and (0,1)

Parameters:

i_hat_color (str) – The hex colour to use for the basis vector in the x direction
j_hat_color (str) – The hex colour to use for the basis vector in the y direction

Returns:

VGroup of the Vector Mobjects representing the basis vectors.

Return type:

VGroup

get_vector(numerical_vector, **kwargs)[source]#

Returns an arrow on the Plane given an input numerical vector.

Parameters:

numerical_vector (numpy.ndarray | list | tuple) – The Vector to plot.
**kwargs – Any valid keyword argument of Arrow.

Returns:

The Arrow representing the Vector.

Return type:

Arrow

get_vector_label(vector, label, at_tip=False, direction='left', rotate=False, color=None, label_scale_factor=0.8)[source]#

Returns naming labels for the passed vector.

Parameters:

vector (Vector) – Vector Object for which to get the label.
at_tip (bool) – Whether or not to place the label at the tip of the vector.
direction (str) – If the label should be on the “left” or right of the vector.
rotate (bool) – Whether or not to rotate it to align it with the vector.
color (str | None) – The color to give the label.
label_scale_factor (float) – How much to scale the label by.

Returns:

The MathTex of the label.

Return type:

MathTex

label_vector(vector, label, animate=True, **kwargs)[source]#

Shortcut method for creating, and animating the addition of a label for the vector.

Parameters:

vector (Vector) – The vector for which the label must be added.
label (manim.mobject.text.tex_mobject.MathTex | str) – The MathTex/string of the label.
animate (bool) – Whether or not to animate the labelling w/ Write

lock_in_faded_grid(dimness=0.7, axes_dimness=0.5)[source]#

This method freezes the NumberPlane and Axes that were already in the background, and adds new, manipulatable ones to the foreground.

Parameters:

dimness (float) – The required dimness of the NumberPlane
axes_dimness (float) – The required dimness of the Axes.

show_ghost_movement(vector)[source]#

This method plays an animation that partially shows the entire plane moving in the direction of a particular vector. This is useful when you wish to convey the idea of mentally moving the entire plane in a direction, without actually moving the plane.

Parameters:: vector (manim.mobject.geometry.line.Arrow | list | tuple | numpy.ndarray) – The vector which indicates the direction of movement.

vector_to_coords(vector, integer_labels=True, clean_up=True)[source]#

This method displays vector as a Vector() based vector, and then shows the corresponding lines that make up the x and y components of the vector. Then, a column matrix (henceforth called the label) is created near the head of the Vector.

Parameters:

vector (numpy.ndarray | list | tuple) – The vector to show.
integer_labels (bool) – Whether or not to round the value displayed. in the vector’s label to the nearest integer
clean_up (bool) – Whether or not to remove whatever this method did after it’s done.

write_vector_coordinates(vector, **kwargs)[source]#

Returns a column matrix indicating the vector coordinates, after writing them to the screen.

Parameters:

vector (Arrow) – The arrow representing the vector.
**kwargs – Any valid keyword arguments of coordinate_label():

Returns:

The column matrix representing the vector.

Return type:

Matrix
