class ComplexPlane(**kwargs)[source]#

Bases: NumberPlane

A NumberPlane specialized for use with complex numbers.

Examples

Example: ComplexPlaneExample ¶

from manim import *

class ComplexPlaneExample(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        plane = ComplexPlane().add_coordinates()
        self.add(plane)
        d1 = Dot(plane.n2p(2 + 1j), color=YELLOW)
        d2 = Dot(plane.n2p(-3 - 2j), color=YELLOW)
        label1 = MathTex("2+i").next_to(d1, UR, 0.1)
        label2 = MathTex("-3-2i").next_to(d2, UR, 0.1)
        self.add(
            d1,
            label1,
            d2,
            label2,
        )

Methods

`add_coordinates`	Adds the labels produced from `get_coordinate_labels()` to the plane.
`get_coordinate_labels`	Generates the `DecimalNumber` mobjects for the coordinates of the plane.
`n2p`	Abbreviation for `number_to_point()`.
`number_to_point`	Accepts a float/complex number and returns the equivalent point on the plane.
`p2n`	Abbreviation for `point_to_number()`.
`point_to_number`	Accepts a point and returns a complex number equivalent to that point on the plane.

Attributes

`animate`	Used to animate the application of any method of `self`.
`animation_overrides`
`color`
`depth`	The depth of the mobject.
`fill_color`	If there are multiple colors (for gradient) this returns the first one
`height`	The height of the mobject.
`n_points_per_curve`
`sheen_factor`
`stroke_color`
`width`	The width of the mobject.

add_coordinates(*numbers, **kwargs)[source]#

Adds the labels produced from get_coordinate_labels() to the plane.

Parameters

numbers (Iterable[float | complex]) – An iterable of floats/complex numbers. Floats are positioned along the x-axis, complex numbers along the y-axis.
kwargs – Additional arguments to be passed to get_number_mobject(), i.e. DecimalNumber.

get_coordinate_labels(*numbers, **kwargs)[source]#

Generates the DecimalNumber mobjects for the coordinates of the plane.

Parameters

numbers (Iterable[float | complex]) – An iterable of floats/complex numbers. Floats are positioned along the x-axis, complex numbers along the y-axis.
kwargs – Additional arguments to be passed to get_number_mobject(), i.e. DecimalNumber.

Returns

A VGroup containing the positioned label mobjects.

Return type

VGroup

n2p(number)[source]#

Abbreviation for number_to_point().

Parameters: number (float | complex) –
Return type: np.ndarray

number_to_point(number)[source]#

Accepts a float/complex number and returns the equivalent point on the plane.

Parameters: number (float | complex) – The number. Can be a float or a complex number.
Returns: The point on the plane.
Return type: np.ndarray

p2n(point)[source]#

Abbreviation for point_to_number().

Parameters: point (Sequence[float]) –
Return type: complex

point_to_number(point)[source]#

Accepts a point and returns a complex number equivalent to that point on the plane.

Parameters: point (Sequence[float]) – The point in manim’s coordinate-system
Returns: A complex number consisting of real and imaginary components.
Return type: complex
