mathlikeanim-rs

MathLikeAnim-rs

This is an animation library written in Rust, widely inspired by Manim and, unlike Manim, it allows interactivity thanks to WebAssembly, JavaScript and the web.

Features

• Interactivity.
• Basic shapes.
• Function plotting.
• Animations in HTML Canvas and SVG.
• Text rendering.
• Math formulas rendering.
• 3D rendering.
• Browser support.
• Python support.

Meaning

• : Done.
• : Meant to be supported, but not available yet.
• : Not supported.

How to use it in the browser?

You must install the @mathlikeanim-rs/mathlikeanim-rs (the Rust core) package and the @mathlikeanim-rs/renderer, both from NPM. Then, write an importmap and a module script tag to load the library.

How to use it in Python?

Python support is available, but for older versions of the library. We are working on updating the Python package to the latest version of the project. If you still want to use the Python package, you can install it by running:

pip install mathlikeanim-rs  # It's an old version of the project

Development

If you want to contribute to this project, you can clone a fork of this repository and work with the Rust codebase or the TypeScript codebase, and then submit a pull request.

Rust WASM core

The Rust WASM core is available in the src directory. You can build it by running in the root directory:

make build

TypeScript renderer

The TypeScript renderer is available in the typescript directory. You can build it by running in the root directory:

make build-ts

Tests

By the moment we don't have any tests, so your contributions are welcome! Anyways, you can serve the example page by running:

make serve-example

If you're developing Rust codebase, you can copy the built (with make build) files to the example page by running:

make copy-wasm

If you're developing TypeScript codebase, you can copy the built (with make build-ts) files to the example page by running:

make copy-ts
