Manim — Mathematical Animation Engine

Key Features

• Mathematical objects: Equations, graphs, number lines, geometric shapes, 3D surfaces
• Smooth animations: Transform, FadeIn, Write, Create, MoveAlongPath, and dozens more
• Camera control: Pan, zoom, rotate camera in 2D and 3D scenes
• LaTeX rendering: Beautiful mathematical notation via LaTeX
• Programmatic: Everything is Python code — version control, parameterize, automate

Example: Animated Graph

from manim import *

class SineCurve(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        axes = Axes(x_range=[-3, 3], y_range=[-1.5, 1.5])
        graph = axes.plot(lambda x: np.sin(x), color=BLUE)
        label = axes.get_graph_label(graph, label="\\sin(x)")
        self.play(Create(axes), Create(graph), Write(label))
        self.wait()
