Frequently Asked Questions

There is a new FAQ section in the latest version of our documentation. This page here is intended for stashing new questions to be added to the documentation FAQ at some point (it is easier to edit the wiki than adding a PR).

Questions that have been added to the documentation should be removed from the entries below.


What are the default measurements for Manim's scene?

The scene measures 8 units in height and has a default ratio of 16:9, which means that it measures :math:8 \cdot 16 / 9 = 14 + 2/9 units in width. The origin is in the center of the screen, which means that, for example, the upper left corner of the scene has coordinates [-7-1/9, 4, 0].

I am trying to run an interactive scene with --renderer=opengl and Scene.interactive_embed, but an error (sqlite3.ProgrammingError) is raised. How can I fix this?

This seems to be an issue with a recent IPython release, in our experience it helps to downgrade the installed IPython package to 8.0.1: pip install IPython==8.0.1.
