Description of proposed feature
My motivation
Hello, I want to be able to select the last object in a group as the target for alignment when using Mobject.arrange(), instead of the default first object.
Like this:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/abd9c835-6a4e-4182-be2c-b71372e7c2a9
Why
Mobject.arrange() always uses the first object as the alignment target:
If I want to implement reverse-arrange, I must use the Mobject.next_to() method one by one (in reverse order) for the objects within the group, as implemented in above code.
How can the new feature be used?
By adding a new param last in Mobject.arrange():
group.animate.arrange(center=False, last=True, direction=LEFT)
Additional comments
Here is my change of Mobject.arrange() to implement this feature:
def arrange(
self,
direction: Vector3D = RIGHT,
buff: float = DEFAULT_MOBJECT_TO_MOBJECT_BUFFER,
center: bool = True,
last: bool = False,
**kwargs,
) -> Self:
if last:
submobjects = list(reversed(self.submobjects))
else:
submobjects = self.submobjects
for m1, m2 in zip(submobjects, submobjects[1:]):
m2.next_to(m1, direction, buff, **kwargs)
if center:
self.center()
return self
Here is my code to test this feature:
from manim import *
class ReversedArrange(Scene):
def construct(self):
square_r = Square(fill_color=RED, fill_opacity=1).move_to(ORIGIN + LEFT * 5)
square_g = Square(fill_color=GREEN, fill_opacity=1).move_to(ORIGIN)
square_b = Square(fill_color=BLUE, fill_opacity=1).move_to(ORIGIN + RIGHT * 5)
group = Group(square_r, square_g, square_b)
self.play(FadeIn(group))
self.wait(1)
self.play(group.animate.arrange(center=False, last=True, direction=LEFT))
If modify Mobject.arrange() as I did, you have to specify the direction param as LEFT when call this method, otherwise the other object in the group will move to the right of the target object (which is assumed to be the rightmost one). Like this:
self.play(group.animate.arrange(center=False, last=True)) # without direction=LEFT
