ManualWire¶

class manim_eng.circuits.wire.ManualWire(start: Terminal, end: Terminal, corner_points: Sequence[ndarray[tuple[Any, ...], dtype[float64]]] | None = None, updating: bool = False)¶

Bases: WireBase

Wire that requires its path to be manually specified.

Parameters:

start (Terminal) – The terminal the wire starts at.
end (Terminal) – The terminal the wire ends at.
corner_points (Sequence[Point3D], optional) – The vertices the wire should have between the two terminals. Should not include the positions of the two terminals, as these are inserted automatically when the wire is drawn. These should be in order from start to end. If left unspecified, this is taken to be [] and the wire will directly connect the start and end terminals.
updating (bool) – Whether the ends of the wire should update automatically to keep connected to the terminals. This is disabled by default. If this is enabled, it is recommended to attach another updater that will update corner_points to prevent strange artefacts.

Raises:

ValueError – If start and end are the same.

Attributes

`ManualWire.animate`	Used to animate the application of any method of `self`.
`ManualWire.animation_overrides`
`ManualWire.color`
`ManualWire.depth`	The depth of the mobject.
`ManualWire.fill_color`	If there are multiple colors (for gradient) this returns the first one
`ManualWire.height`	The height of the mobject.
`ManualWire.n_points_per_curve`
`ManualWire.sheen_factor`
`ManualWire.stroke_color`
`ManualWire.width`	The width of the mobject.

get_corner_points() → list[ndarray[tuple[Any, ...], dtype[float64]]]¶

Get the corner points of the wire.

Returns the vertices of the wire, not including the end points (i.e. at the start and end terminals).

set_corner_points(points: Sequence[ndarray[tuple[Any, ...], dtype[float64]]]) → Self¶

Set the corner points of the wire.

Parameters:: points (Sequence[Point3D]) – The vertices the wire should have between the two terminals. Should not include the positions of the two terminals, as these are inserted automatically when the wire is drawn. These should be in order from start to end.
