Star

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

class Star(n=5, *, outer_radius=1, inner_radius=None, density=2, start_angle=1.5707963267948966, **kwargs)

Bases: ManimCompatMob

A regular polygram without the intersecting lines.

Parameters:

• n (int) – How many points on the Star.

• outer_radius (float) – The radius of the circle that the outer vertices are placed on.

• inner_radius (float | None) –

  The radius of the circle that the inner vertices are placed on.

  If unspecified, the inner radius will be calculated such that the edges of the Star perfectly follow the edges of its RegularPolygram counterpart.

• density (int) –

  The density of the Star. Only used if inner_radius is unspecified.

  See RegularPolygram for more information.

• start_angle (float | None) – The angle the vertices start at; the rotation of the Star.

• kwargs (Any) – Forwardeds to the parent constructor.

Raises:

ValueError – If inner_radius is unspecified and density is not in the range [1, n/2).

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).
