Ranim is an animation engine crate implemented in pure rust, inspired heavily by Manim and jkjkil4/JAnim.

[!WARNING] Ranim is now WIP. It only supports some basic items and animations, the apis are unstable and may change frequently, the documentation is also not complete.

Dependencies

Runtime dependencies:

• typst: fonts and maths rendering
• ffmpeg: encode videos

Installation

Currently, it is experimental on crates.io:

[dependencies]

ranim = "0.1.0-alpha.1"

You can also use from git for the latest updates:
