manim-helper README

emulates Grant Sanderson's sublime text workflow

Usage

  • Shift+Alt+R = run scene at the current line using the manimgl command
  • Alt+R = checkpoint_paste()
  • Ctrl+Alt+R = checkpoint_paste(skip=True) (runs code without animating)
  • Alt+E = exit

Features

  • almost everything described in the readme of 3b1b's videos repo
  • doing checkpoint_paste() commands automatically copies code from last comment so you don't need to select manually
  • super is replaced with shift tho

Requirements

  • manimgl (3b1b's, not community edition)
    • git clone https://github.com/3b1b/manim.git
    • cd manim
    • pip install .

Extension Settings

Known Issues

  • the cursor doesn't move back to the editor after doing the manimRunScene command
  • things can go weird if you leave multiple terminals named manimgl open - make sure to close all of them before running a new scene
  • recording/saving to file doesn't work
