Combines the manim library with reveal.js to create animated slides.

First install manim

Next get reveal.js and do the full setup (npm install)

Then install the python package manim-reveal located in this repository, by running following command

pip install .

Clone this repository, and run the following commands

cd python
manim example_slide_scene.py MathTest SimpleVideoSlide

This will create and copy the video and fragments files into the folder video_slides for each SlideScene.

Copy the folders, video_slides, js and the file index.html into a new reveal.js directory.

Finally run npm start to start the presentation.

To create a new slide using manim, follow these steps

1. Subclass SlideScene instead of the Scene class.
2. In the CONFIG add the parameter video_slides_dir. This should point to a folder called video_slides in your reveal.js directory.
3. In contruct(), add the function call self.slide_break() whenever you want the presentation to pause.
4. Run the manim command on your python file. This will automatically update the video_slides directory you specified in the config.
5. Add the following tag <script src="js/add_video_slide.js" slide_scene="SimpleVideoSlide"></script> instead of <section> ...</section> in your index.html. You have one such tag for each video slide.
6. Make sure you add the tag <script src="js/video_slide.js"></script> at the bottom of your index.html. This only needs to be done once per index.html. This script is needed to make the video slide fragments work.
7. Run npm start, or refresh your browser if you have already started the server.

Below is a simple example of a video slide

from manimlib.imports import *
from manim_reveal import SlideScene

class SimpleVideoSlide(SlideScene):
    CONFIG={
        "video_slides_dir":"../video_slides"
    }
    def construct(self):
        gamma = TexMobject("\gamma")
        gamma.scale(5)
        obj = Circle()

        self.play(FadeIn(obj))
        self.slide_break()

        self.play(Transform(obj,gamma))
        self.slide_break()

        self.play(FadeOut(obj))
        self.wait(1)

To uninstall the python package, run

pip uninstall manim_reveal
