Trying to use manim in revealjs presentation

[RudolfVonKrugstein]

Description

I am tyring do render manim animations to be outputed in a reveajs presentation written in quarto.

So I tried this:

---
title: "manim test"
format: revealjs
log-level: debug
execute:
  python: .venv/bin/python
  external: true
---

# Header

## Manim

```{python}
from manim import *
```

```{python}
#| output: false
%%manim -qm CircleExample
from manim import *

class CircleExample(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        circle = Circle()
        self.play(Create(circle))
        self.wait()

```

The cell gets executed, a video gets rendered (I can see the output file) but nothing is inserted in the presentation.
I can not really find documentation about this, how can I properly include manim animations in my presentation?

Thanks!

quarto --version
1.9.36

I am on nixos inside wsl.

Why would you expect an output with #| output: false?

See the documentation: https://quarto.org/docs/computations/execution-options.html

Did you use LLM to produce this document? Did you check the options?

This is made up.

log-level: debug
execute:
  python: .venv/bin/python
  external: true

I strongly suggest you read the documentation on computation and ask your LLM to do the same.

🤦Oh, how stupid of me. It works without the #| output: false (I mixed it up with #| echo: false).

Und thanks for the pointer at the pointless execute options. I was trying to get my own python .venv to work, and thats a leftover (I set QUARTO_PYTHON=".venv/bin/python"). Yes, I was asking an LLM for help :/.
