Rendering & export¶

Programmatic single-call render API. Today MP4/GIF rendering goes through the manim CLI. A render(ggb_path, style=..., output_format=..., size=...) entry point would make animageo embeddable in servers and pipelines without shelling out.
In-memory input. Accept bytes/BytesIO for .ggb and style JSON in addition to file paths.
Snapshot tests for rendering. The geometry core is well covered (~985 tests); CreateMObject, SVG output, and the CLI still rely on manual inspection. Golden-file snapshot tests would lock the visual output down.

Most everyday commands are implemented (433 dispatch signatures exposed through 99 auto-discovered DSL factories). Known gaps:

Exact/symbolic Locus and LocusEquation (current Locus is a sampled polyline).
RadicalAxis, Power (circle power-of-a-point family).
Exact Circumference for ellipses (currently Ramanujan's approximation).
OsculatingCircle, Curvature, ConjugateDiameter, PathParameter.
Element types boolean (as a visible checkbox), list, image.

Automatic placement has reached its target quality for solver-only layouts (see the recommended preset in styles.md). Remaining ideas:

Leader-line refinement for dense scenes (suppressing unhelpful connectors).
Soft repulsion between labels across keyframes to avoid transient overlaps mid-animation.

passing_flash emphasis event.
Pixel-invariant camera zoom (GeoGebra-style ZoomIn semantics: geometry scales, pixel-sized decorations do not) — the current @camera track is cinematic (everything scales together).

Chainable style helpers (element('s').setDashed(0.65).setOpacity(0.5)) as sugar over elem.style[...] writes.
