This is a Python module to create animations of maths demonstrations as seen in the Mathologer YouTube channel.
The module defines an animation as a serie of shots containing actors and the movements of these actors. The playback is managed by an animator.
The actors are points, lines, circles, polygons, or any other objects. The geometric objects are defined by points and it is these points that are animated, moving the objects that uses them. This simplifies the animation of linked objects. For example a line drawn between two circle centers will move when the circles move.
Furthermore, points themselves can be defined relative to another point. That other point is called their origin. Such relative point move when their origin moves. This allows to create a hierarchy of points and complex animations.
The module provide ready-made simple animation formulas, for example to move a point or rotate it around another point.
In addition to the geometry, the module manages what gets drawn. Each actor is given a name. The decision to draw or not each actor is decided by an option linked to its name. All actors with the same name are controlled by the same option.
The overall demonstration can also define parameters that will automatically generate user-controllable options to modify them. For example, a demonstration involving a polygon could let the user choose the number of sides of the polygon.
The modules comes with many examples. Currently, there are Seven, but more will be added later. The examples are:
