Brace

Qualified name: manim.mobject.svg.brace.Brace

class Brace(mobject, direction=array([0., - 1., 0.]), buff=0.2, sharpness=2, stroke_width=0, fill_opacity=1.0, background_stroke_width=0, background_stroke_color='#000000', **kwargs)

Bases: VMobjectFromSVGPath

Takes a mobject and draws a brace adjacent to it.

Passing a direction vector determines the direction from which the brace is drawn. By default it is drawn from below.

Parameters

• mobject (Mobject) – The mobject adjacent to which the brace is placed.

• direction (Sequence[float] | None) – The direction from which the brace faces the mobject.

Examples

Example: BraceExample

from manim import *

class BraceExample(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        s = Square()
        self.add(s)
        for i in np.linspace(0.1,1.0,4):
            br = Brace(s, sharpness=i)
            t = Text(f"sharpness= {i}").next_to(br, RIGHT)
            self.add(t)
            self.add(br)
        VGroup(*self.mobjects).arrange(DOWN, buff=0.2)

Methods

get_direction	Uses shoelace_direction() to calculate the direction.
get_tex
get_text
get_tip
put_at_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.

get_direction()

Uses shoelace_direction() to calculate the direction. The direction of points determines in which direction the object is drawn, clockwise or counterclockwise.

Examples

The default direction of a Circle is counterclockwise:

>>> from manim import Circle
>>> Circle().get_direction()
'CCW'

Returns

Either "CW" or "CCW".
