ImageMobject

Qualified name: manim.mobject.types.image\_mobject.ImageMobject

class ImageMobject(filename_or_array, scale_to_resolution=1080, invert=False, image_mode='RGBA', **kwargs)

Bases: AbstractImageMobject

Displays an Image from a numpy array or a file.

Parameters

scale_to_resolution (int) – At this resolution the image is placed pixel by pixel onto the screen, so it will look the sharpest and best. This is a custom parameter of ImageMobject so that rendering a scene with e.g. the --quality low or --quality medium flag for faster rendering won’t effect the position of the image on the screen.

Example

Example: ImageFromArray

from manim import *

class ImageFromArray(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        image = ImageMobject(np.uint8([[0, 100, 30, 200],
                                       [255, 0, 5, 33]]))
        image.height = 7
        self.add(image)

Changing interpolation style:

Example: ImageInterpolationEx

from manim import *

class ImageInterpolationEx(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        img = ImageMobject(np.uint8([[63, 0, 0, 0],
                                        [0, 127, 0, 0],
                                        [0, 0, 191, 0],
                                        [0, 0, 0, 255]
                                        ]))

        img.height = 2
        img1 = img.copy()
        img2 = img.copy()
        img3 = img.copy()
        img4 = img.copy()
        img5 = img.copy()

        img1.set_resampling_algorithm(RESAMPLING_ALGORITHMS["nearest"])
        img2.set_resampling_algorithm(RESAMPLING_ALGORITHMS["lanczos"])
        img3.set_resampling_algorithm(RESAMPLING_ALGORITHMS["linear"])
        img4.set_resampling_algorithm(RESAMPLING_ALGORITHMS["cubic"])
        img5.set_resampling_algorithm(RESAMPLING_ALGORITHMS["box"])
        img1.add(Text("nearest").scale(0.5).next_to(img1,UP))
        img2.add(Text("lanczos").scale(0.5).next_to(img2,UP))
        img3.add(Text("linear").scale(0.5).next_to(img3,UP))
        img4.add(Text("cubic").scale(0.5).next_to(img4,UP))
        img5.add(Text("box").scale(0.5).next_to(img5,UP))

        x= Group(img1,img2,img3,img4,img5)
        x.arrange()
        self.add(x)

Methods

fade	Sets the image's opacity using a 1 - alpha relationship.
get_pixel_array	A simple getter method.
get_style
interpolate_color	Interpolates the array of pixel color values from one ImageMobject into an array of equal size in the target ImageMobject.
set_color	Condition is function which takes in one arguments, (x, y, z).
set_opacity	Sets the image's opacity.

Attributes

animate	Used to animate the application of any method of self.
animation_overrides
depth	The depth of the mobject.
height	The height of the mobject.
width	The width of the mobject.

fade(darkness=0.5, family=True)

Sets the image’s opacity using a 1 - alpha relationship.

Parameters

• darkness (float) – The alpha value of the object, 1 being transparent and 0 being opaque.

• family (bool) – Whether the submobjects of the ImageMobject should be affected.

get_pixel_array()

A simple getter method.

interpolate_color(mobject1, mobject2, alpha)

Interpolates the array of pixel color values from one ImageMobject into an array of equal size in the target ImageMobject.

Parameters

• mobject1 (ImageMobject) – The ImageMobject to transform from.

• mobject2 (ImageMobject) – The ImageMobject to transform into.

• alpha (float) – Used to track the lerp relationship. Not opacity related.

set_color(color, alpha=None, family=True)

Condition is function which takes in one arguments, (x, y, z). Here it just recurses to submobjects, but in subclasses this should be further implemented based on the the inner workings of color

set_opacity(alpha)

Sets the image’s opacity.

Parameters

alpha (float) – The alpha value of the object, 1 being opaque and 0 being transparent.
