Scenes¶

import manimgx as m


class ScenesHero(m.Scene):
    def construct(self) -> None:
        circle = m.Circle(color=m.BLUE, fill_opacity=0.5)
        words = m.Text("Hello!", font_size=72)
        self.play(m.Create(circle))
        self.play(m.FadeOut(circle))
        self.play(m.Write(words))
        self.wait()

A scene is one video. Make a class from Scene, and write what happens in its construct method: manimgx runs it from top to bottom, and each line adds to the video in that order. The class's name is the video's: the scene Hello makes Hello.mp4.

Time passes only in play and wait. A play starts when the one before it ends and lasts as long as its longest animation; a wait holds the picture, while updaters keep running. add shows a mobject at once, taking no time.
