Manim Extensions

manim_extensions is an extension toolkit for Manim Community, providing extra mobjects, geometric utilities, animation effects, and curated third-party plugins to help you create mathematical animations more efficiently.

What is in this package?

The library is organised into four areas:

Core extensions (manim_extensions)

Additional mobjects and helpers built directly on top of Manim:

• ChineseMathTex – Chinese-aware LaTeX rendering with xeCJK.

• LabelDot, MathTexLine, MathTexBrace, MathTexDoublearrow – annotated geometric primitives.

• ExtendedLine, PerpendicularLine, PerpendicularSign – construction-style line helpers.

• CircleInt(), LineCircleInt(), LineInt(), LineArcInt(), TangentPoint() – analytic geometry utilities.

• VisDrawArc() and TypeWriter – ready-to-use animations.

Bundled plugins

Three popular Manim plugins are included as subpackages and Git submodules, with full API documentation and attribution to the original authors:

• GearBox – realistic involute gears and mechanisms.

• Compass – compass-and-straightedge constructions.

• MindMap – mind maps, timelines, and catalog trees.
