MF-Algebra 0.5.9

Manim plugin which aims to make it much easier to meaningfully transform algebra expressions.

Introduction

This is a Manim plugin (still under construction) for algebra animations that are beautiful, meaningful, and automatic. It is compatible with both ManimGL and Manim Community Edition. It consists of a few key components:

• Expression: These objects contain a tree structure representing algebra expressions/equations, such as 3x^2, 5+9, and sin(y)=14e^x, as well as a method for producing a corresponding Tex/MathTex mobject.
• Action: These objects contain methods to convert between expressions/equations, such as adding something to both sides, or substituting a variable for a value. This conversion can be static or animated.
• Timeline: These objects contain an alternating sequence of expressions and actions, and methods for automatically determining these sequences, and managing mobject adding/removing and action animations. For example, the Solve timeline takes an equation and tries to solve it for a certain variable, filling itself in with actions and expressions to achieve that goal.

Some documentation has been created by someone I only know as Ed, see the pdf file in the parent folder. Thank you Ed!
Further documentation and tutorials coming in the future. For now, check in workspace for examples.
