TipableVMobject#

Qualified name: manim.mobject.geometry.arc.TipableVMobject

class TipableVMobject(tip_length=0.35, normal_vector=array([0., 0., 1.]), tip_style={}, **kwargs)[source]#

Bases: VMobject

Meant for shared functionality between Arc and Line. Functionality can be classified broadly into these groups:

Adding, Creating, Modifying tips

add_tip calls create_tip, before pushing the new tip
into the TipableVMobject’s list of submobjects

stylistic and positional configuration

Checking for tips

Boolean checks for whether the TipableVMobject has a tip
and a starting tip

Getters

Straightforward accessors, returning information pertaining
to the TipableVMobject instance’s tip(s), its length etc

Methods

`add_tip`	Adds a tip to the TipableVMobject instance, recognising that the endpoints might need to be switched if it's a 'starting tip' or not.
`asign_tip_attr`
`create_tip`	Stylises the tip, positions it spatially, and returns the newly instantiated tip to the caller.
`get_default_tip_length`
`get_end`	Returns the point, where the stroke that surrounds the `Mobject` ends.
`get_first_handle`
`get_last_handle`
`get_length`
`get_start`	Returns the point, where the stroke that surrounds the `Mobject` starts.
`get_tip`	Returns the TipableVMobject instance's (first) tip, otherwise throws an exception.
`get_tips`	Returns a VGroup (collection of VMobjects) containing the TipableVMObject instance's tips.
`get_unpositioned_tip`	Returns a tip that has been stylistically configured, but has not yet been given a position in space.
`has_start_tip`
`has_tip`
`pop_tips`
`position_tip`
`reset_endpoints_based_on_tip`

Attributes

`animate`	Used to animate the application of any method of `self`.
`animation_overrides`
`color`
`depth`	The depth of the mobject.
`fill_color`	If there are multiple colors (for gradient) this returns the first one
`height`	The height of the mobject.
`n_points_per_curve`
`sheen_factor`
`stroke_color`
`width`	The width of the mobject.

add_tip(tip=None, tip_shape=None, tip_length=None, tip_width=None, at_start=False)[source]#: Adds a tip to the TipableVMobject instance, recognising that the endpoints might need to be switched if it’s a ‘starting tip’ or not.

create_tip(tip_shape=None, tip_length=None, tip_width=None, at_start=False)[source]#: Stylises the tip, positions it spatially, and returns the newly instantiated tip to the caller.

get_end()[source]#: Returns the point, where the stroke that surrounds the Mobject ends.

get_start()[source]#: Returns the point, where the stroke that surrounds the Mobject starts.

get_tip()[source]#: Returns the TipableVMobject instance’s (first) tip, otherwise throws an exception.

get_tips()[source]#: Returns a VGroup (collection of VMobjects) containing the TipableVMObject instance’s tips.

get_unpositioned_tip(tip_shape=None, tip_length=None, tip_width=None)[source]#: Returns a tip that has been stylistically configured, but has not yet been given a position in space.
