An animation engine for explanatory math videosManim is an animation engine for explanatory math videos. It's used to create precise animations programmatically, as demonstrated in the videos of3Blue1Brown.NOTE: This repository is maintained by the Manim Community and is not associated with Grant Sanderson or 3Blue1Brown in any way (although we are definitely indebted to him for providing his work to the world). If you would like to study how Grant makes his videos, head over to his repository (3b1b/manim). This fork is updated more frequently than his, and it's recommended to use this fork if you'd like to use Manim for your own projects.Table of Contents:InstallationUsageDocumentationDockerHelp with ManimContributingLicenseInstallationWARNING:These instructions are for the community versiononly.
