Description of bug / unexpected behavior
The Quickstart tutorial recommends the use of manim init project
but this creates a manim.cfg
file which distorts the default coordinate system used by Manim.
The use of manim init project
is not necessary and should probably be removed from the Quickstart tutorial.
Expected behavior
If anything, manim init project
shoukld not create a configuration file which corrupts Manim's default settings.
How to reproduce the issue
run
manim init project my-project --default```
on the command line and then switch to the created project directory and run the scene as
```py
manim -p main.py DefaultTemplate```
<details><summary>Code for reproducing the problem</summary>
Adding a number plane to the created template code highlights the problem. The script is rendered in portrait mode with a highly reduced width of the scene.
```py
from manim import *
class DefaultTemplate(Scene):
def construct(self):
self.add(NumberPlane().add_coordinates())
circle = Circle() # create a circle
circle.set_fill(PINK, opacity=0.5) # set color and transparency
square = Square() # create a square
square.flip(RIGHT) # flip horizontally
square.rotate(-3 * TAU / 8) # rotate a certain amount
self.play(Create(square)) # animate the creation of the square
self.play(Transform(square, circle)) # interpolate the square into the circle
self.play(FadeOut(square)) # fade out animation
