MathTex R6 Class

Renders LaTeX math expressions as VMobject Bezier curves. Uses the existing compile_latex_svg + import_svg_file pipeline to convert LaTeX to SVG paths, then parses those into submobjects.

Super classes

manimR::MObject -> manimR::VMobject -> MathTex

Public fields

tex_string

The LaTeX expression

tex_template

LaTeX preamble template name
