This is a Manim plugin (still under construction) for algebra animations that are beautiful, meaningful, and automatic. It is compatible with both ManimGL and Manim Community Edition. It consists of a few key components:
- Expression: These objects contain a tree structure representing algebra expressions/equations, such as
3x^2,5+9, andsin(y)=14e^x, as well as a method for producing a corresponding Tex/MathTex mobject. - Action: These objects contain methods to convert between expressions/equations, such as adding something to both sides, or substituting a variable for a value. This conversion can be static or animated.
- Timeline: These objects contain an alternating sequence of expressions and actions, and methods for automatically determining these sequences, and managing mobject adding/removing and action animations. For example, the Solve timeline takes an equation and tries to solve it for a certain variable, filling itself in with actions and expressions to achieve that goal.
Documentation and tutorials coming in the future.
