API 文档¶

class manim.VGroup(*vmobjects: VMobject | Iterable[VMobject], **kwargs: Any)¶

基类：VMobject

add(*vmobjects: VMobject | Iterable[VMobject]) → Self¶

Checks if all passed elements are an instance, or iterables of VMobject and then adds them to submobjects

Parameters¶

vmobjects: List or iterable of VMobjects to add

Returns¶

VGroup

Raises¶

TypeError: If one element of the list, or iterable is not an instance of VMobject

Examples¶

The following example shows how to add individual or multiple VMobject instances through the VGroup constructor and its .add() method.

class AddToVGroup(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        circle_red = Circle(color=RED)
        circle_green = Circle(color=GREEN)
        circle_blue = Circle(color=BLUE)
        circle_red.shift(LEFT)
        circle_blue.shift(RIGHT)
        gr = VGroup(circle_red, circle_green)
        gr2 = VGroup(circle_blue) # Constructor uses add directly
        self.add(gr,gr2)
        self.wait()
        gr += gr2 # Add group to another
        self.play(
            gr.animate.shift(DOWN),
        )
        gr -= gr2 # Remove group
        self.play( # Animate groups separately
            gr.animate.shift(LEFT),
            gr2.animate.shift(UP),
        )
        self.play( #Animate groups without modification
            (gr+gr2).animate.shift(RIGHT)
        )
        self.play( # Animate group without component
            (gr-circle_red).animate.shift(RIGHT)
        )

A VGroup can be created using iterables as well. Keep in mind that all generated values from an iterable must be an instance of VMobject. This is demonstrated below:

class AddIterableToVGroupExample(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        v = VGroup(
            Square(),               # Singular VMobject instance
            [Circle(), Triangle()], # List of VMobject instances
            Dot(),
            (Dot() for _ in range(2)), # Iterable that generates VMobjects
        )
        v.arrange()
        self.add(v)

To facilitate this, the iterable is unpacked before its individual instances are added to the VGroup. As a result, when you index a VGroup, you will never get back an iterable. Instead, you will always receive VMobject instances, including those that were part of the iterable/s that you originally added to the VGroup.

ValueError: If point does not lie on the curve.
Exception: If the VMobject has no points.

resize_points(new_length: int, resize_func: Callable[[Point3D_Array, int], Point3D_Array] = <function resize_array>) → Self¶

Resize the array of anchor points and handles to have the specified size.

Parameters¶

new_length: The new (total) number of points.
resize_func: A function mapping a Numpy array (the points) and an integer (the target size) to a Numpy array. The default implementation is based on Numpy's resize function.

reverse_direction() → Self¶

Reverts the point direction by inverting the point order.

Returns¶

VMobject: Returns self.

Examples¶

class ChangeOfDirection(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        ccw = RegularPolygon(5)
        ccw.shift(LEFT)
        cw = RegularPolygon(5)
        cw.shift(RIGHT).reverse_direction()

        self.play(Create(ccw), Create(cw),
        run_time=4)

rotate(angle: float, axis: Vector3DLike = array([0., 0., 1.]), *, about_point: Point3DLike | None = None, about_edge: Vector3DLike | None = None) → Self¶

Rotates the Mobject around a specified axis and point.

Parameters¶

angle: The angle of rotation in radians. Predefined constants such as DEGREES can also be used to specify the angle in degrees.
axis: The rotation axis (see Rotating for more).
about_point: The point about which the mobject rotates. If None, rotation occurs around the center of the mobject.
about_edge: The edge about which to apply the scaling.

Returns¶

Mobject: self (for method chaining)

备注

To animate a rotation, use Rotating or Rotate instead of .animate.rotate(...). The .animate.rotate(...) syntax only applies a transformation from the initial state to the final rotated state (interpolation between the two states), without showing proper rotational motion based on the angle (from 0 to the given angle).

Examples¶

class RotateMethodExample(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        circle = Circle(radius=1, color=BLUE)
        line = Line(start=ORIGIN, end=RIGHT)
        arrow1 = Arrow(start=ORIGIN, end=RIGHT, buff=0, color=GOLD)
        group1 = VGroup(circle, line, arrow1)

        group2 = group1.copy()
        arrow2 = group2[2]
        arrow2.rotate(angle=PI / 4, about_point=arrow2.get_start())

        group3 = group1.copy()
        arrow3 = group3[2]
        arrow3.rotate(angle=120 * DEGREES, about_point=arrow3.get_start())

        self.add(VGroup(group1, group2, group3).arrange(RIGHT, buff=1))

Parameters¶

angle: Angle by which the direction of sheen is rotated.
axis: Axis of rotation.

Examples¶

Normal usage:

Circle().set_sheen_direction(UP).rotate_sheen_direction(PI)

Parameters¶

scale_factor: The scaling factor \(\alpha\). If \(0 < |\alpha| < 1\), the mobject will shrink, and for \(|\alpha| > 1\) it will grow. Furthermore, if \(\alpha < 0\), the mobject is also flipped.
scale_stroke: Boolean determining if each submobject's outline is scaled when the object is scaled. If enabled, each submobject keeps its relative stroke width (for example, a submobject with a 2px outline scaled by a factor of .5 will have a 1px outline, while a submobject with 0px stroke remains at 0px).
kwargs: Additional keyword arguments passed to scale().

Returns¶

VMobject: self

Examples¶

class MobjectScaleExample(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        c1 = Circle(1, RED).set_x(-1)
        c2 = Circle(1, GREEN).set_x(1)

        vg = VGroup(c1, c2)
        vg.set_stroke(width=50)
        self.add(vg)

        self.play(
            c1.animate.scale(.25),
            c2.animate.scale(.25,
                scale_stroke=True)
        )

Parameters¶

factor: The factor used for scaling.

Returns¶

VMobject: self

set_anchors_and_handles(anchors1: Point3DLike_Array, handles1: Point3DLike_Array, handles2: Point3DLike_Array, anchors2: Point3DLike_Array) → Self¶

Given two sets of anchors and handles, process them to set them as anchors and handles of the VMobject.

anchors1[i], handles1[i], handles2[i] and anchors2[i] define the i-th bezier curve of the vmobject. There are four hardcoded parameters and this is a problem as it makes the number of points per cubic curve unchangeable from 4 (two anchors and two handles).

Returns¶

VMobject: self

set_cap_style(cap_style: CapStyleType) → Self¶

Sets the cap style of the VMobject.

Parameters¶

cap_style: The cap style to be set. See CapStyleType for options.

Returns¶

VMobject: self

Examples¶

class CapStyleExample(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        line = Line(LEFT, RIGHT, color=YELLOW, stroke_width=20)
        line.set_cap_style(CapStyleType.ROUND)
        self.add(line)

set_color(color: ParsableManimColor, family: bool = True) → Self¶: Condition is function which takes in one arguments, (x, y, z). Here it just recurses to submobjects, but in subclasses this should be further implemented based on the the inner workings of color

set_fill(color: ParsableManimColor | None = None, opacity: float | None = None, family: bool = True) → Self¶

Set the fill color and fill opacity of a VMobject.

Parameters¶

color: Fill color of the VMobject.
opacity: Fill opacity of the VMobject.
family: If True, the fill color of all submobjects is also set.

Returns¶

VMobject: self

Examples¶

class SetFill(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        square = Square().scale(2).set_fill(WHITE,1)
        circle1 = Circle().set_fill(GREEN,0.8)
        circle2 = Circle().set_fill(YELLOW) # No fill_opacity
        circle3 = Circle().set_fill(color = '#FF2135', opacity = 0.2)
        group = Group(circle1,circle2,circle3).arrange()
        self.add(square)
        self.add(group)

Parameters¶

points: Array of points that will be set as corners.

Returns¶

VMobject: The VMobject itself, after setting the new points as corners.

Examples¶

class PointsAsCornersExample(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        corners = (
            # create square

            DL, DR,
            UR,
            # create crosses
            DL, UL,
            DR
        )
        vmob = VMobject(stroke_color=RED)
        vmob.set_points_as_corners(corners).scale(2)
        self.add(vmob)

set_sheen(factor: float, direction: Vector3DLike | None = None, family: bool = True) → Self¶

Applies a color gradient from a direction.

Parameters¶

direction: Direction from where the gradient is applied.

Examples¶

class SetSheen(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        circle = Circle(fill_opacity=1).set_sheen(-0.3, DR)
