Manim python example.

I have written before about manim as a Python package in this tutorial.

It's quite powerful for animation and I recommend it to content producers who need a tool for school board-like graphics.

Today I'm back with a link that a document written in Jupiter notebook with Manim package from manim community, see this link.

Python 3.10.7 : Manim python package - part 001.

Manim is an engine for precise programmatic animations, designed for creating explanatory math videos, see the official GitHub repo.

Let's install this python package.

python.exe -m pip install manim

You need to install the ffmepg software and add this to the environment path.

The default source code for create a circle is this:

from manim import *

# a simple python class
class DefaultClassExample(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        # add a circle 
        circle = Circle()
        # create a animation 
        self.play(Create(circle))

Use this command to create a video with this source code

manim -pql manim_001.py test
