Requirements for latex line operations #4541
Description
Description of proposed feature
Add a new function to control latex content line by line
Using vgroup to manage multiple single-line latex content will break the multi-line typesetting of latex.
If you treat each line as a sub-string of MathTex(), you will lose the ability to operate more granularly.
If latex is manually split into small enough contents in MathTex(), latex becomes difficult to read when modifying the code.
So I hope this function can accept a long single latex string or multiple short strings, identify the latex newline character r "\" from it, and then return the corresponding line as required without destroying the splitting of MathTex()
How can the new feature be used?
Display mathematical derivation line by line and provide line-level control over latex content
Additional comments
This is a simple example when writing r"\\" alone
def GetLine(txt, TargetLineIndex):
LineIndex = 0
LineStart = 0
LineEnd = 0
isNextLine = 0
for WordIndex in range(len(txt.submobjects)):
if isNextLine:
LineStart = WordIndex
isNextLine = 0
if txt.submobjects[WordIndex].get_tex_string() == r"\\":
LineIndex += 1
LineEnd = WordIndex
isNextLine = 1
if TargetLineIndex == LineIndex or WordIndex==len(txt.submobjects):
return txt.submobjects[LineStart:LineEnd]
WordIndex += 1
multiline_tex = MathTex(
r"a^2", "+"," b^2 &= c^2 ", r"\\",
r"x^3" , "+", "y^3 &= z^3 ", r"\\",r"E &= mc^2", r"\\")
self.play([Write(i)for i in GetLine(multiline_tex,1)])
self.play([Write(i)for i in GetLine(multiline_tex,2)])
self.play([Write(i)for i in GetLine(multiline_tex,3)])
self.wait()
all_x_parts = multiline_tex.get_parts_by_tex("+")
self.play(all_x_parts.animate.set_color(RED))
self.wait()
