Class: ImplicitFunction

Defined in: mobjects/graphing/ImplicitFunction.ts:60

ImplicitFunction - Plots the zero-level set of f(x, y) = 0

Uses the Marching Squares algorithm with adaptive refinement to find and render implicit curves. Cells containing sign changes are recursively subdivided from minDepth up to maxDepth for higher fidelity near the contour without paying the cost of a globally fine grid.

Can handle multiple disjoint curves, closed loops, and saddle points.

Example

// Plot a circle: x^2 + y^2 - 1 = 0
const circle = new ImplicitFunction({
  func: (x, y) => x * x + y * y - 1,
});

// Plot a hyperbola: x^2 - y^2 - 1 = 0
const hyperbola = new ImplicitFunction({
  func: (x, y) => x * x - y * y - 1,
  xRange: [-3, 3],
  yRange: [-3, 3],
});

// Plot with axes and adaptive refinement
const axes = new Axes();
const curve = new ImplicitFunction({
  func: (x, y) => Math.sin(x) - y,
  axes,
  minDepth: 4,
  maxDepth: 8,
});

copy()

copy(): VMobject

Defined in: core/VMobject.ts:496

Create a copy of this VMobject. Subclasses override _createCopy() to produce an instance of the right concrete type (Circle, Square, etc.), but those constructors typically regenerate points from their own parameters (radius, sideLength, ...). After a Transform animation has morphed the point data, the regenerated points no longer match the actual visual state. We therefore always overwrite the clone's _points3D with the source's current data.

_toLinewidth()

static _toLinewidth(this, strokeWidth): number

Defined in: core/VMobjectRendering.ts:123

Convert Manim-compatible strokeWidth to LineMaterial linewidth in pixels. Python Manim uses cairo_line_width_multiple=0.01, so: linewidth_px = strokeWidth * 0.01 * (rendererWidth / frameWidth)

NOTE: This static method uses class-level statics. For multi-scene correctness, internal code should use the instance method _computeLinewidth().

Parameters

this

typeof VMobjectRendering

strokeWidth

number

Returns

number

Inherited from

VMobject._toLinewidth
