Code

Qualified name: manim.mobject.text.code\_mobject.Code

class Code(code_file=None, code_string=None, language=None, formatter_style='vim', tab_width=4, add_line_numbers=True, line_numbers_from=1, background='rectangle', background_config=None, paragraph_config=None)

Bases: VMobject

A highlighted source code listing.

Examples

Normal usage:

listing = Code(
    "helloworldcpp.cpp",
    tab_width=4,
    formatter_style="emacs",
    background="window",
    language="cpp",
    background_config={"stroke_color": WHITE},
    paragraph_config={"font": "Noto Sans Mono"},
)

We can also render code passed as a string. As the automatic language detection can be a bit flaky, it is recommended to specify the language explicitly:

• Parameters:
  • code_file (StrPath | None) – The path to the code file to display.
  • code_string (str | None) – Alternatively, the code string to display.
  • language (str | None) – The programming language of the code. If not specified, it will be guessed from the file extension or the code itself.
  • formatter_style (str) – The style to use for the code highlighting. Defaults to "vim". A list of all available styles can be obtained by calling Code.get_styles_list().
  • tab_width (int) – The width of a tab character in spaces. Defaults to 4.
  • add_line_numbers (bool) – Whether to display line numbers. Defaults to True.
  • line_numbers_from (int) – The first line number to display. Defaults to 1.
  • background (Literal [ 'rectangle' , 'window' ]) – The type of background to use. Can be either "rectangle" (the default) or "window".
  • background_config (dict *[*str , Any ] | None) – Keyword arguments passed to the background constructor. Default settings are stored in the class attribute default_background_config (which can also be modified directly).
  • paragraph_config (dict *[*str , Any ] | None) – Keyword arguments passed to the constructor of the Paragraph objects holding the code, and the line numbers. Default settings are stored in the class attribute default_paragraph_config (which can also be modified directly).
