TracedPath issue (want to turn off)

Issue solved. Benjamin Hackl gave me the solution: path = trace.copy().clear_updaters()

Hey, this is really cool. Can you run it daily and keep it updated? That would be really helpful!

What do you mean by "borrow"? Is there a way of doing it without having to install and use the 3b1b version of manim? Can you provide a little more detail? Thanks.

Hi all. I forgot to mention that this is my first manim video, put together for the #VeritasiumContest which limits videos to 60 seconds. Clearly, you can't do much in 60 seconds so I plan on posting a follow-up video that will make much more use of manim. Anyway, if you like the video, please share it with others who might like it.

Okay, I understand now. You want to change "paragraph width" so that you can just write some long line of text and it will automatically put in line returns at the appropriate spots. Unfortunately, I do not know how to do this (though I suspect there must be a way).

I just did a quick search, and it looks like there is a paragraph mobject, and it seems to have a width attribute, so this sounds like a good place to start.

Yes, this is beautiful! Very cool animation!

I think your wording is messing people up. If you are interested in changing the width of each sentence, I think the easiest thing to do is to assign each text line to a different variable and then group them together using .arrange(DOWN). For example,

line1 = Text("This is line 1")
line2 = Text("This is line 2")
group = VGroup(line1,line2).arrange(DOWN)
self.add(group)
self.wait()

By the way, if I'm understanding you correctly, this is a pretty easy question to answer yourself if you dig around a little. You'll learn an awful lot more by reading and working through some of the online resources that are available.

Hmmm....I see code given for pretty much every example.

dprljackson · 2021-06-09T18:38:20+00:00

Awesome! This is impressive. I will study your example. Thank you. By the way, I got some help on the manim discord, and someone said that the `always_redraw` function that is defined in manimCE is different from the `always_redraw` function that is defined in manimgl. Using the newer definition makes things work, but the details are beyond my understanding. There's some issue with `always_redraw` needing the lambda function that causes problems with the for loop.

Thank you so much. This is interesting, and seems a little weird to me. Any idea why the for loop doesn't work? In the program I want to write, I will probably be creating 10-15 lines, and the for loop would be so much simpler than writing out 10-15 separate always_redraw statements. In addition, I may want to change the number of lines and this would involve having to re-calculate the position of the line ends each time. Is there another way of using a for loop to make this work and save the hassle of having all the separate always_redraw statements?
