MultiCamera

Qualified name: manim.camera.multi\_camera.MultiCamera

class MultiCamera(image_mobjects_from_cameras=None, allow_cameras_to_capture_their_own_display=False, **kwargs)

Bases: MovingCamera

Camera Object that allows for multiple perspectives.

Initialises the MultiCamera

• Parameters:
  • image_mobjects_from_cameras (Iterable *[*ImageMobjectFromCamera ] | None)
  • kwargs (Any) – Any valid keyword arguments of MovingCamera.
  • allow_cameras_to_capture_their_own_display (bool)

Methods

add_image_mobject_from_camera	Adds an ImageMobject that's been obtained from the camera into the list self.image_mobject_from_cameras
capture_mobjects	Capture mobjects by printing them on pixel_array.
get_mobjects_indicating_movement	Returns all mobjects whose movement implies that the camera should think of all other mobjects on the screen as moving
reset	Resets the MultiCamera.
update_sub_cameras	Reshape sub_camera pixel_arrays

Attributes

background_color
background_opacity
frame_center	Returns the centerpoint of the frame in cartesian coordinates.
frame_height	Returns the height of the frame.
frame_width	Returns the width of the frame

add_image_mobject_from_camera(image_mobject_from_camera)

Adds an ImageMobject that’s been obtained from the camera into the list self.image_mobject_from_cameras

• Parameters: image_mobject_from_camera (ImageMobjectFromCamera) – The ImageMobject to add to self.image_mobject_from_cameras
• Return type: None

capture_mobjects(mobjects, **kwargs)

Capture mobjects by printing them on pixel_array.

This is the essential function that converts the contents of a Scene into an array, which is then converted to an image or video.

• Parameters:
  • mobjects (Iterable *[*Mobject ]) – Mobjects to capture.
  • kwargs (Any) – Keyword arguments to be passed to get_mobjects_to_display().
• Return type: None

Notes

For a list of classes that can currently be rendered, see display_funcs().

get_mobjects_indicating_movement()

Returns all mobjects whose movement implies that the camera should think of all other mobjects on the screen as moving

• Return type: list

reset()

Resets the MultiCamera.

• Returns: The reset MultiCamera
• Return type: MultiCamera

update_sub_cameras()

Reshape sub_camera pixel_arrays

• Return type: None
