Description

still-manim, or smanim, is a python library for drawing static graphics of conceptual content in domains like math and programming. It's based on 3blue1brown's animation library, manim, except it is designed for static graphics and for running in the browser.

Running Locally

If you prefer to work locally, install still-manim with pip:

pip install smanim

Create a new file with a simple program:

hello_world.py

from smanim import *

c = Circle(stroke_color=RED)
t = Text("Hello World")
t.next_to(c, UP)
canvas.add(c, t)
# canvas.draw() # use this command when in the browser
canvas.snapshot(preview=True) # use this command when local

And run the program to generate the diagram and preview it:

python3 hello_world.py
