Paragraph¶

Qualified name: algan.mobs.manim\_compat.Paragraph

class Paragraph(*text, line_spacing=-1, alignment=None, **kwargs)¶

Bases: ManimCompatMob

Display a paragraph of text.

For a given Paragraph par, the attribute par.chars is a VGroup containing all the lines. In this context, every line is constructed as a VGroup of characters contained in the line.

Parameters:

line_spacing (float) – Represents the spacing between lines. Defaults to -1, which means auto.
alignment (str | None) – Defines the alignment of paragraph. Defaults to None. Possible values are “left”, “right” or “center”.
text (str)
kwargs (Any)

Examples

Normal usage:

paragraph = Paragraph(
    "this is a awesome",
    "paragraph",
    "With \nNewlines",
    "\tWith Tabs",
    "  With Spaces",
    "With Alignments",
    "center",
    "left",
    "right",
)

Remove unwanted invisible characters:

self.play(Transform(remove_invisible_chars(paragraph.chars[0:2]),
                    remove_invisible_chars(paragraph.chars[3][0:3]))

Methods

Attributes

`animation_manager`	This mob's scene-owned animation manager.
`basis`	The Mob's orientation and scale, as a flattened 3x3 matrix of shape `(*, 9)`.
`casts_shadows`	Whether this Mob's geometry blocks light on its way from a light source to another surface -- whether it casts a shadow.
`children`	The Mobs attached below this one, in attachment order.
`closed_shell`	Whether this Mob's triangles form a CLOSED shell -- every camera ray that enters the geometry crosses a second time on its way out.
`draws_descendants`	Whether `get_render_primitives` returns geometry belonging to this Mob's DESCENDANTS as well as its own.
`forward`	Get the direction the Mob is facing.
`lifespan`	This mob's [spawn, despawn) interval on its Scene timeline (a `Lifespan`).
`location`	The Mob's position in world space, shape `(*, 3)`.
`normalized_basis`	The Mob's orientation with scale divided out, shape `(*, 9)`.
`parents`	The Mobs this one is attached to, in attachment order.
`receives_shadows`	Whether this Mob's surfaces are darkened by shadows cast onto them.
`right`	Get the Mob's own rightward direction.
`scale_coefficient`	The Mob's scale along its own right, up and forward axes, shape `(*, 3)`.
`stroke_color`	The color of the circuit's border stroke.
`two_sided`	Whether this Mob's geometry should be lit from whichever side the ray arrives on.
`up`	Get the Mob's own upward direction.
`x`	The Mob's x coordinate in world units, shape `(*, 1)`.
`xy`	The Mob's x and y coordinates in world units, shape `(*, 2)`.
`y`	The Mob's y coordinate in world units, shape `(*, 1)`.
`z`	The Mob's z coordinate in world units, shape `(*, 1)`.
`z_index`	Which of two exactly coplanar circuits draws in front (higher wins).
