@ -4,12 +4,18 @@ Reanimate is a library for programmatically generating animations with a twist
towards mathematics / vector drawings. A lot of inspiration was drawn from
3b1b's manim library.
Reanimate aims at being a batteries-included way of gluing together different technologies: SVG as a universal image format, LaTeX for typesetting, ffmpeg for video encoding, inkscape/imagemagick for rasterization, potrace for vectorization, blender/povray for 3D graphics, and Haskell for scripting.
## Scalable Vector Graphics
SVG images are the primitive building blocks in Reanimate. They are the universal
image format used to glue together animations.
Movies consists of a sequence of frames and, in reanimate, these frames are SVG images. SVGs can easily reference raster images, includes a set of drawing primitives, and offers image advanced manipulation through filter effects.
Since SVGs are plain-text documents, tools can be written to analyse and modify images. For example, reanimate includes code for applying 2D physics to shapes in SVG images.
SVG features, as demonstrated in the below animation:
* Drawing primitives: Circles, rectangles, lines, external images, paths, text.
* Drawing attributes: Rotation, position, color, line-width.
* Filter effects: Blur and blob.
TODO: Add advanced SVG features: blurs, blobs, etc.
