MovingCamera#

Qualified name: manim.camera.moving\_camera.MovingCamera

class MovingCamera(frame=None, fixed_dimension=0, default_frame_stroke_color='#FFFFFF', default_frame_stroke_width=0, **kwargs)[source]#

Stays in line with the height, width and position of it’s ‘frame’, which is a Rectangle

See also

Frame is a Mobject, (should almost certainly be a rectangle) determining which region of space the camera displays

Methods

`auto_zoom`	Zooms on to a given array of mobjects (or a singular mobject) and automatically resizes to frame all the mobjects.
`cache_cairo_context`	Since the frame can be moving around, the cairo context used for updating should be regenerated at each frame.
`capture_mobjects`	Capture mobjects by printing them on `pixel_array`.
`get_cached_cairo_context`	Since the frame can be moving around, the cairo context used for updating should be regenerated at each frame.
`get_mobjects_indicating_movement`	Returns all mobjects whose movement implies that the camera should think of all other mobjects on the screen as moving

Attributes

`background_color`
`background_opacity`
`frame_center`	Returns the centerpoint of the frame in cartesian coordinates.
`frame_height`	Returns the height of the frame.
`frame_width`	Returns the width of the frame

auto_zoom(mobjects, margin=0, only_mobjects_in_frame=False, animate=True)[source]#

Zooms on to a given array of mobjects (or a singular mobject) and automatically resizes to frame all the mobjects.

Note

This method only works when 2D-objects in the XY-plane are considered, it will not work correctly when the camera has been rotated.

Parameters

mobjects (list[Mobject]) – The mobject or array of mobjects that the camera will focus on.
margin (float) – The width of the margin that is added to the frame (optional, 0 by default).
only_mobjects_in_frame (bool) – If set to True, only allows focusing on mobjects that are already in frame.
animate (bool) – If set to False, applies the changes instead of returning the corresponding animation

Returns

_AnimationBuilder that zooms the camera view to a given list of mobjects or ScreenRectangle with position and size updated to zoomed position.

Return type

Union[_AnimationBuilder, ScreenRectangle]

cache_cairo_context(pixel_array, ctx)[source]#: Since the frame can be moving around, the cairo context used for updating should be regenerated at each frame. So no caching.

capture_mobjects(mobjects, **kwargs)[source]#

Capture mobjects by printing them on pixel_array.

This is the essential function that converts the contents of a Scene into an array, which is then converted to an image or video.

Parameters

Notes

For a list of classes that can currently be rendered, see display_funcs().

property frame_center#

Returns the centerpoint of the frame in cartesian coordinates.

property frame_height#

Returns the height of the frame.

property frame_width#

Returns the width of the frame

get_cached_cairo_context(pixel_array)[source]#: Since the frame can be moving around, the cairo context used for updating should be regenerated at each frame. So no caching.

get_mobjects_indicating_movement()[source]#

Returns all mobjects whose movement implies that the camera should think of all other mobjects on the screen as moving
