About Manim
-----------
Manim is an animation engine for explanatory math videos.
You can use it to make math videos (or other fields) like 3Blue1Brown.
There are mainly two versions here:
- `3b1b/manim <https://github.com/3b1b/manim>`_ : Maintained by Grant Sanderson of 3Blue1Brown.
Using OpenGL and its GLSL language to use GPU for rendering. It has higher efficiency,
faster rendering speed, and supports real-time rendering and interaction.
- `ManimCommunity/manim <https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim>`_ : Maintained by Manim Community Dev Team.
Using cairo to use CPU for rendering. There is better documentation and
a more open contribution community.
