Class: RegularPolygram

Defined in: mobjects/geometry/PolygonExtensions.ts:531

RegularPolygram - A generalized star polygon {n/k}

Creates a regular star polygon by placing n vertices equally spaced on a circle and connecting every k-th vertex, where k is the density.

When gcd(n, k) = 1 the result is a single continuous self-intersecting path that winds k times around the center before closing (e.g. the pentagram {5/2}).

When gcd(n, k) > 1 the polygram decomposes into gcd(n,k) congruent regular polygon components, each rendered as a separate child VMobject. For example, a hexagram {6/2} becomes 2 equilateral triangles (2{3}).

This matches the behavior of Python manim's RegularPolygram.

Example

// Pentagram {5/2} -- single continuous star
const pentagram = new RegularPolygram({ numVertices: 5, density: 2 });

// Hexagram {6/2} = 2{3} -- two overlapping triangles
const hexagram = new RegularPolygram({ numVertices: 6, density: 2 });

// Heptagram {7/3}
const heptagram = new RegularPolygram({ numVertices: 7, density: 3 });

// Octagram {8/3}
const octagram = new RegularPolygram({ numVertices: 8, density: 3 });

copy()

copy(): VMobject

Defined in: core/VMobject.ts:496

Create a copy of this VMobject.

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
