# Manim Community - Mathematical Animation Engine

Comprehensive skill set for creating mathematical animations using Manim Community, a Python framework for creating explanatory math videos programmatically, popularized by 3Blue1Brown.

## When to use

Use this skill whenever you are dealing with Manim code to obtain domain-specific knowledge about:

- Creating mathematical animations and visualizations
- Building educational video content programmatically
- Working with geometric shapes and transformations
- Animating LaTeX equations and mathematical formulas
- Creating graphs, charts, and coordinate systems
- Implementing scene-based animation sequences
- Rendering high-quality mathematical diagrams
- Building explanatory visual content for teaching

## Core Concepts

Manim allows you to create animations using:
- **Scenes**: Canvas for your animations where you orchestrate mobjects
- **Mobjects**: Mathematical objects that can be displayed (shapes, text, equations)
- **Animations**: Transformations applied to mobjects (Write, Create, Transform, FadeIn)
- **Transforms**: Morphing between different states of mobjects
- **LaTeX Integration**: Native support for rendering mathematical notation
- **Python Simplicity**: Use Python to programmatically specify animation behavior

## Key Features

- Precise mathematical object positioning and transformations
- Native LaTeX rendering for equations and formulas
- Extensive shape library (circles, rectangles, arrows, polygons)
- Coordinate systems and function graphing
- Boolean operations on geometric shapes
- Camera controls and scene management
- High-quality video rendering
- IPython/Jupyter notebook integration
- VS Code extension with live preview
