About this Project

This project is a Python Module that let you use manim using a python API instead of the command line. Pressing the green run button in your IDE will render the scene or show the last frame of the scene.

Installation

Install the package with pip:

   pip install manim-main-function

Usage

Please make sure you have manim installed and running on your machine

To use the module, you just need to let your scene inherit from the ManinMainFunctions class. This class provides a set of functions that allow you to render the scene using the main function instead of the command line.

Below is are two examples of how to use the Module.

import manim as m
# import ManinMainFunctions
from manim_main_function.mmf import ManinMainFunction


# Add 'ManinMainFunctions' to your scene class to enable the main function
class ShowLastFrameExample(ManinMainFunction, m.Scene):

    def construct(self):
        my_text = m.Text("Hello World", color=m.BLUE)

        self.add(my_text)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    # You can now render Manim Scenes using the main function instead of the command line!
    ShowLastFrameExample.show_last_frame()

import manim as m
# import ManinMainFunctions
from manim_main_function.mmf import ManinMainFunction


# Add 'ManinMainFunctions' to your scene class to enable the main function
class ShowLastFrameExample(ManinMainFunction, m.Scene):

    def construct(self):
        my_text = m.Text("Hello World", color=m.BLUE)

        self.play(
            m.FadeIn(my_text)
        )


if __name__ == '__main__':
    # You can now render Manim Scenes using the main function instead of the command line!
    ShowLastFrameExample.render_video_medium()  # renders the video with the -pqm flags

    # Feel free to uncomment the following lines to render the video with different quality settings:
    # 
    # ShowLastFrameExample.render_video_low() # renders the video with the -pql flags
    # ShowLastFrameExample.render_video_high() # renders the video with the -pqh flags
    # ShowLastFrameExample.render_video_4k() # renders the video with the -pqk flags
    # ShowLastFrameExample.render_video_4k_without_cache() # renders the video with the -pqk flags and without cache (--disable_caching flag)

Available Functions

• render_video_low(): Renders the video with the -pql flags
• render_video_medium(): Renders the video with the -pqm flags
• render_video_high(): Renders the video with the -pqh flags
• render_video_4k(): Renders the video with the -pqk flags
• render_video_4k_without_cache(): Renders the video with the -pqk flags and without cache (--disable_caching flag)
• show_last_frame(): Shows the last frame of the scene
