<hr />

**ManimVTK** is a fork of [Manim Community](https://www.manim.community/) that integrates VTK (Visualization Toolkit) for scientific visualization and export capabilities. It keeps Manim's elegant syntax and animation system while adding the ability to:

- **Export VTK assets** for visualization in ParaView, PyVista, and vtk.js
- **Render with VTK** for high-quality shaded surfaces
- **Create time series** animations for CFD and scientific data
- **Generate interactive 3D datasets** alongside traditional video output

## 🎯 What's New

Users can now render scenes with VTK and export scientific visualization data:

```bash
# Export both an MP4 video AND VTK scene files
manimvtk -pqh MyScene --renderer vtk --vtk-export

# Export time series for ParaView animation scrubbing
manimvtk MyScene --renderer vtk --vtk-time-series
```

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Installation

#### Prerequisites (Linux only)

ManimVTK depends on [ManimPango](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/ManimPango), which requires system dependencies on Linux since pre-built wheels are not available. Install them first:

**Debian/Ubuntu (including Google Colab):**

```bash
sudo apt install libpango1.0-dev pkg-config python3-dev
```

**Fedora:**

```bash
sudo dnf install pango-devel pkg-config python3-devel
```

**Arch Linux:**

```bash
sudo pacman -S pango pkgconf
```

#### Install ManimVTK

```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/mathifylabs/manimVTK.git
cd manimVTK

# Install with VTK support
pip install -e ".[vtk]"

# Or install with full scientific stack (includes PyVista)
pip install -e ".[scientific]"
```

Or install from PyPI:

```bash
pip install manimvtk[vtk]
```

### Basic Usage

```python
from manimvtk import *

class CFDVisualization(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        # Create a surface (e.g., representing pressure field)
        surface = Surface(
            lambda u, v: np.array([u, v, np.sin(u) * np.cos(v)]),
            u_range=[-2, 2],
            v_range=[-2, 2],
            resolution=(50, 50),
        )
        surface.set_color(BLUE)

        self.play(Create(surface))
        self.wait()
```

Render with VTK export:

```bash
manimvtk -pqh example.py CFDVisualization --renderer vtk --vtk-export
```

This produces:

- `media/videos/example/1080p60/CFDVisualization.mp4` - Standard video output
- `media/vtk/CFDVisualization/CFDVisualization_final.vtm` - VTK MultiBlock file

## 📦 VTK Export Options

### Static Export (`--vtk-export`)

Exports the final scene state to VTK format:

- Single mobject: `.vtp` (PolyData)
- Multiple mobjects: `.vtm` (MultiBlock)

### Time Series Export (`--vtk-time-series`)

Exports frame-by-frame VTK files with a `.pvd` collection file:

```
media/vtk/MyScene/
├── MyScene.pvd              # ParaView Data collection file
├── MyScene_00000.vtp        # Frame 0
├── MyScene_00001.vtp        # Frame 1
├── ...
└── MyScene_viewer.html      # Basic HTML viewer template
```

Load the `.pvd` file in ParaView to scrub through animations using its native time slider.

## 🔧 CLI Options

| Option              | Description                          |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `--renderer vtk`    | Use VTK renderer                     |
| `--vtk-export`      | Export final scene to VTK format     |
| `--vtk-time-series` | Export all frames as VTK time series |

## 💡 Use Cases

### CFD Visualization

```python
from manimvtk import *
from manimvtk.vtk import add_scalar_field, add_vector_field

class PressureField(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        # Create surface mesh
        surface = Surface(
            lambda u, v: np.array([u, v, 0]),
            u_range=[-2, 2],
            v_range=[-2, 2],
        )

        # Color by pressure (handled in VTK export)
        self.add(surface)
        self.wait()
```

### Interactive Web Viewing

The exported `.vtkjs` files can be embedded in web applications using vtk.js, perfect for:

- Educational platforms
- Research presentations
- Interactive documentation

## 🏗 Architecture

ManimVTK adds a new renderer layer:

## 🔬 Scientific Features

### Scalar Fields

```python
from manimvtk.vtk import add_scalar_field

# After creating polydata
add_scalar_field(polydata, "pressure", pressure_values)
```

### Vector Fields

Attach velocity/force fields for glyphs and streamlines:

```python
from manimvtk.vtk import add_vector_field

# Attach velocity (U, V, W components)
add_vector_field(polydata, "velocity", velocity_vectors)
```

## 🧪 Testing

### Running the Test Suite

The project includes a comprehensive test suite for VTK functionality with 61 tests covering:

- **VTK Mobject Adapter**: Conversion of Manim mobjects to VTK PolyData
- **VTK Exporter**: File export (.vtp, .vtm, .pvd, .vtkjs)
- **VTK Renderer**: Renderer initialization and scene handling

To run the tests:

```bash
# Install dev dependencies
pip install -e ".[vtk]"
pip install pytest pytest-cov pytest-xdist

# Run VTK tests (headless environments require xvfb)
xvfb-run -a pytest tests/test_vtk/ -v

# Run with display available
pytest tests/test_vtk/ -v
```
