Try to use Text instead of Tex(t)Mobject ?

[mohamed99akram]

You can write your text "مرحبا" here and copy the output. then use Text("ﺎﺒﺣﺮﻣ") in your code. it works for me, the text is written correctly. There are 2 things I still need to know though: 1- How to change the font 2- How to write(text) from right to left instead of left to write

I got it working please check this ;

use this tex file changes

\documentclass[preview]{standalone}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[arabic,english]{babel} \usepackage{arabtex} \usepackage[LAE,LFE]{fontenc}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{dsfont} \usepackage{setspace} \usepackage{tipa} \usepackage{relsize} \usepackage{textcomp} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{calligra} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{ragged2e} \usepackage{physics} \usepackage{xcolor} \usepackage{microtype} %\DisableLigatures{encoding = , family = } \usepackage[UTF8]{ctex} \linespread{1}

\begin{document}

\begin{align} \quad \end{align}

\end{document}

and call using TextMobject like this example_text = TextMobject( "هذه بعض المعادلات ", tex_to_color_map={"text": YELLOW} )

hope this helps 👍

please note : after this changes you need to use Text for writing in English

Hi Yousif, I tried changing my tex_template.tex file according as you have described.

For some reason I am getting an error. It's saying: "Latex error converting to dvi."

Do you know why this is happening.

Maybe it's some issue with my version of manim.

May I know which version you are using?

Also, I am using a Mac. If you are not using Mac then maybe that's why it is not working for me... (I am mostly a noob at this sort of stuff so excuse me if my questions are too stupid...)

Also, I am running manim on pycharm. Can this possibly be a reason for this error?

Basically I want to know exactly how you are using manim and which version it is so that I can try to do exactly what you are doing.

Any help here would be great.

Thanks a lot.

[yousif-hag-ahmed]

hi I am using Windows actually , can you post your py code so that I can take a look at it and maybe try it here and see . thanks

Hi yousif I did exactly what you said but for me it gives this exception:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/mahdi/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/manimlib/extract_scene.py", line 155, in main scene = SceneClass(**scene_kwargs) File "/home/mahdi/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/manimlib/scene/scene.py", line 75, in init self.construct() File "main.py", line 7, in construct my_text = TextMobject("هذه بعض المعادلات ", tex_to_color_map={"text": YELLOW}) File "/home/mahdi/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/manimlib/mobject/svg/tex_mobject.py", line 150, in init self.break_up_by_substrings() File "/home/mahdi/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/manimlib/mobject/svg/tex_mobject.py", line 190, in break_up_by_substrings sub_tex_mob.move_to(self.submobjects[last_submob_index], RIGHT) IndexError: list index out of range

Do you have any solutions?

Here how can you write arabic with mixed math, you need to use lualatex with a recent tex distribution

from manim import *

my_template = TexTemplate(
tex_compiler="lualatex",
preamble=r"""
\usepackage[bidi = basic]{babel}
\babelprovide[main, import]{arabic}
\babelfont{rm}{Amiri}""")

class ArabTex(Tex):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, tex_template=my_template, **kwargs)

class Test(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        arab_text= ArabTex(r'نص عربي طويل مع عبارات رياضية $ax+b$',font_size=50).to_corner(UR)
        self.play(Write(arab_text))
        self.wait()
        tex = MathTex(r'f(x) &= 3 + 2 + 1\\ &= 5 + 1 \\ &= 6', font_size=50)
        tex.next_to(arab_text, DOWN,buff=0.5)
        self.add(tex)
        self.wait()
        circle= Circle()
        circle.next_to(tex, DOWN, buff=0.5) 
        self.play(Create(circle))

Getting the same error on Windows. Did you find a way to write Arabic?

Can you also please tell me how you've set everything up for it to work? Please give as much detail as possible, thanks.

@Xenomorphs what tex distribution you have on your system?

This works but does not have good support when Arabic and English texts are combined.
