Using braces #941

Open ghost opened 4 years ago

ghost commented 4 years ago

I'd like to run the code: numeros4 = TexMobject( "\\mathbb{N}", "=", "\\{", "1", ",", "2", ",", "3", ",", "\\ldots", "\\}" ) cause I wish I could change the color of the braces separately. But I got this error: Exception: Latex error converting to dvi. I've already tried using the command Brace() or the ideas found at reddit, but it didn't work at all. Is there a way to make it possible?

Thanks!

Have you installed LaTeX? You also need quite a few LaTeX packages with it as well. Please post the full traceback and we may be able to help you better.

I certainly have. This is the basic LaTeX code, I just wanna write the braces separately.

Here the traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Manim\manim-master\manimlib\extract_scene.py", line 155, in main scene = SceneClass(**scene_kwargs) File "C:\Manim\manim-master\manimlib\scene\scene.py", line 53, in __init__ self.construct() File "1.py", line 170, in construct self.numeros_naturais() File "1.py", line 241, in numeros_naturais "\\}" File "C:\Manim\manim-master\manimlib\mobject\svg\tex_mobject.py", line 153, in __init__ self.break_up_by_substrings() File "C:\Manim\manim-master\manimlib\mobject\svg\tex_mobject.py", line 184, in break_up_by_substrings sub_tex_mob = SingleStringTexMobject(tex_string, **config) File "C:\Manim\manim-master\manimlib\mobject\svg\tex_mobject.py", line 44, in __init__ self.template_tex_file_body File "C:\Manim\manim-master\manimlib\utils\tex_file_writing.py", line 19, in tex_to_svg_file dvi_file = tex_to_dvi(tex_file) File "C:\Manim\manim-master\manimlib\utils\tex_file_writing.py", line 67, in tex_to_dvi "See log output above or the log file: %s" % log_file) Exception: Latex error converting to dvi.

Hmm, the traceback points to a log file in ./media\Tex\0447ed74899f41fb.log. Could you please post the contents of that as well?

Also, I've heard people saying that it isn't possible to write a single brace in LaTeX. You use Brace() for that, but you say you have tried that as well.

In any case, the contents of the log file would be mighty helpful.

And, about the Braces() it's not very useful when I want to use in a single text line :/

Aathish04 commented 4 years ago

This appears to be a LaTeX specific problem.

You simply cannot use a single brace separately in LaTeX, and the way manim renders LaTeX (it uses \align a lot), the parser keeps thinking it is seeing a single brace.

For the time being, i suggest you use two Brace()es, which is tedious, but perhaps someone more experienced with LaTeX can help you out.

If you feel like probing the problem deeper, you can modify tex_template.tex, and see if you can get it to work.

All the best ;)

NavpreetDevpuri commented 4 years ago

in LaTeX you can't use a single curly bracket. means you can't create TextMobject(" \\{") or TextMobject(" \\}") or TextMobject(" \\{aaa") but you can use a SVG image to print '{' or '}'. Now, create two files 'LeftCurlyBracket.svg'

Save those files to the media directory 'manim\assets\svg_images' Now create a single character temp_char = TextMobject("(") just for getting character's width or height. After that you can create a single character '{' or '}' like following code.

temp_char = TextMobject("(")
text = TextMobject("any text")
if char == "{":
    cb = SVGMobject("LeftCurlyBracket.svg", color=RED).set_height(temp_char.get_height())
else:
    cb = SVGMobject("RightCurlyBracket.svg", color=RED).set_height(temp_char.get_height())
#you can place it at the end of text as follow
cb.move_to(text.get_right()+np.array([self.temp_char.get_width()*2, 0, 0]))
self.play(Write(text))
self.play(Write(cb),run_time=0.3)

Or you can use Brace() you can use "width_multiplier" to make Braces looks normal

temp_char = TextMobject("(")
cb = Brace(temp_char,LEFT,width_multiplier=8)
text = TextMobject("any text")
cb.move_to(text.get_right()+np.array([self.temp_char.get_width()*2, 0, 0]))
self.play(Write(text))
self.play(Write(cb),run_time=0.3)

i created a method that returns appropriate width_multiplier according to text_scale_factor.

def get_braces_scale_factor_acc_to_text_scale_factor(text_scale_factor):
    if text_scale_factor <= 0.6:
        return 9
    elif 0.6 < text_scale_factor <=1:
        return 6.5
    elif 1 < text_scale_factor <=1.5:
        return 5
    elif 1.5 < text_scale_factor <= 2:
        return 3.5
    elif 2<text_scale_factor<=2.5:
        return 2.5
    elif 2.5<text_scale_factor:
        return 2

you can use it like 

text = TextMobject("any text").scale(3)
cb = Brace(temp_char,LEFT,width_multiplier=get_braces_scale_factor_acc_to_text_scale_factor(3))

it don't work for text_scale_factor less than 0.5 so you can rescale windows's size by following code

fh = 17.0 #this is number of coordinates along y-axis (move_to(np.array([x,y,0])))
fw = fh * DEFAULT_PIXEL_WIDTH / DEFAULT_PIXEL_HEIGHT
class codex(Scene):
    CONFIG = {
        "camera_config":
            {"frame_height": fh,
             "frame_width": fw, }
    }
    def construct(self):
        text = TextMobject("any text").scale(3)
        cb = Brace(temp_char,LEFT,width_multiplier=get_braces_scale_factor_acc_to_text_scale_factor(3))

use Text("{") instead of TextMobject("{") after that place it where ever you want to.

temp_char = TextMobject("(")
cb =TextMobject("{")
text = TextMobject("any text")
cb.move_to(text.get_right()+np.array([self.temp_char.get_width()*2, 0, 0]))

class colorBetterApproach(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        # if you want to color "{" or "}" braces character separately
        numeros4 = TexMobject( "\\mathbb{N}=\\{1,2,3,\\ldots\\}")
        # coloring first 2 characters 
        numeros4[0][0:2].set_color(GREEN)
        # coloring 3rd character
        numeros4[0][2].set_color(RED)
        self.add(numeros4)
        self.wait()

Output 3_text_like_arrays_better_approach

I was able to use single curly brace in single line with custom color using Brace() and dummy text.

See if this helps you

class brace_example(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        text1 = TextMobject("text1")
        dummy = TextMobject("dummy")
        dummy.next_to(text1, RIGHT)
        dummy.shift(0.5 * RIGHT)

        braces=Brace(dummy,LEFT)
        braces.set_color(RED)

        self.play(Write(text1),  Write(braces))

        dummy2 = TextMobject("dummy")
        braces=Brace(dummy2, RIGHT)
        braces.next_to(text1, DOWN)
        text2 = TextMobject("text2")
        text2.next_to(braces, RIGHT)
        braces.set_color(YELLOW)

        self.play(Write(braces))
        self.play(Write(text2))
