How do I pass arguments to Manim Community via command line?

Question

Manim Renders scene(s) to an output file with,

manim [OPTIONS] FILE [SCENES]

I didn't find a way to pass arguments to Manim Community after checking A list of all CLI flags.

How can I pass arguments to Manim Community via the command line? Or further, is there a way to run a manim class without using command line?

Answer 1

I'm not sure I fully understand your first question regarding arguments -- do you mean custom arguments? We don't have support for that yet.

However, you can definitely render scenes from your Python script directly by using a snippet like this:

with tempconfig({"quality": "medium_quality", "preview": True}):
    scene = YourSceneClass()
    scene.render()

This is also useful for debugging Manim scenes.
