# ComplexValueTracker

Qualified name: `manim.mobject.value\_tracker.ComplexValueTracker`

### *class* ComplexValueTracker(value=0, \*\*kwargs)

Bases: [`ValueTracker`](manim.mobject.value_tracker.ValueTracker.md#manim.mobject.value_tracker.ValueTracker)

Tracks a complex-valued parameter.

The value is internally stored as a points array [a, b, 0]. This can be accessed directly
to represent the value geometrically, see the usage example.
When the value is set through `animate`, the value will take a straight path from the
source point to the destination point.

### Examples

### Methods

| [`get_value`](#manim.mobject.value_tracker.ComplexValueTracker.get_value)   | Get the current value of this ComplexValueTracker as a complex number.   |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [`set_value`](#manim.mobject.value_tracker.ComplexValueTracker.set_value)   | Sets a new complex value to the ComplexValueTracker.                     |

### Attributes

| `animate`             | Used to animate the application of any method of `self`.   |

| `depth`               | The depth of the mobject.                                  |
