Project anyx (pronounced as “anix”) is a python library designed for easily producing high-quality (vector) graphics animations with ease. Although anyx is built with no assumption about its downstream area of application, it is mostly targeted towards scientific community for creating beautiful scientific/technical illustrations. anyx is created as a programmatic alternative to heavyweight and (sometimes) proprietary graphical software. Unlike low-level libraries like pygame, anyx allows users to simply write a description of a target scene and compile it down to the required modality (Video, Animated GIFs etc). The development of anyx is motivated largely by a similar project called manim.
