Full Latex Compiler inside manim #3523

Closed JohnyMarley closed 9 months ago

JohnyMarley commented 9 months ago

Description of proposed feature

Adding full latex compiler capabilities into manim. In that way you could simply import your latex code and for example create static figures with tikzpicture. I would imaging that manim then could be a superset of latex beamer. Where you both have the awesome animation capabilites of manim and the static image generation techniques from latex (pgfplots,tikzpicture..etc)

How can the new feature be used?

Could be used in places where animation not strictly are necessary and a static image is useful.

What do you guys think?

LaTeX is a very large thing to add into manim. If there were any python bindings to it, then it might be worth considering - for now it is a very large task that is mostly out of the scope for manim.
