CLI option to render specific section within scene for development workflow #4055
Labels
new feature
Enhancement specifically adding a new feature (feature request should be used for issues instead)
Description of proposed feature
For development workflows and UI integration, it would be useful to be able to specify in the render command a specific section within a scene to render. For example, something like
manim myfile.py MyScene:3
would render only the 4th section of MyScene (the equivalent to setting
skip_animations=True
for all sections except the 4th in MyScene).Currently, this can be done by manually setting the
skip_animations
argument in each call toself.next_section(...)
. However, it would be much more convenient to be able to indicate which subsection to animate separate from the scene code. This would also make it much simpler to implement this sort of development workflow in UIs which at the moment would have to programmatically edit the code file to achieve this simple and likely widely used development paradigm.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
