[05-2] Text, Equation

There are 3 classes for text and equation in Manim.

 

• Text
• TexMobject
• TextMobject

Text class can only handle normal characters, not formulas. Instead, you can specify and use all fonts on your PC, and rendering is fast. (Rendering: collect multiple scenes into a video)

 

TexMobject class is a formula-only class. All the passed strings are treated as LaTex formula strings.

LaTex expression: On a computer, a method of expressing a formula using promised keywords. a² is expressed as 'a^2'

 

TextMobject class recognizes the string received as an argument as plain text, and in the case of LaTex string, it can be expressed between $ and $.

 

It is convenient to use Text when dealing with normal characters without a formula such as "Hello World".

It is convenient to use TexMobject when there are only formulas and English characters.
