Installation

To install Javis into your Julia installation, type into your Julia REPL the following:

julia> ] add Javis

That's all there is to it! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Optional Dependency

Javis supports LaTeX and currently we need this node dependency for it. We are looking forward to the time when everything can be handled by Julia.

npm install -g mathjax-node-cli

If you don't need LaTeX, there is no reason to install this ๐Ÿ˜‰

State of development

Javis.jl is currently under heavy development but we wanted to bring you a first version after we received over 30 stars. It makes it easier to try out Javis.jl for you and we are looking forward to bug reports and issue requests. More the latter, but we expect things to fail!

Current state

v0.2.0

Javis currently supports very simple animations with:

  • LaTeX support
  • Transformations
  • Subactions
  • Drawing grid lines
  • Morphing one shape into another
  • Image Viewer (; liveview=true)
  • Compatibility with Animations.jl

Future goals

We have a list of issues for v0.3.0 and beyond which contain things like:

  • Animating transposing a matrix using morphing PR #175
  • Combine actions into layers/collections
  • Polar coordinates
  • Vectors
  • ...

Make sure to add a feature request if you think we miss something fundamental or something that would be nice to have.

Acknowledgements

We want to thank a couple of people who helped make this possible.
