manim_extensions extends Manim with:

• Chinese formula support — render Chinese characters inside MathTex via xelatex / xeCJK
• Reusable mobjects — labelled dots, braces and arrows tied to formulas, file trees, motion trails, shadows, 3D vectors, tree diagrams, and more
• Geometry helpers — circle / line / arc intersections and tangent points
• Common animations — typewriting, random / reverse writes, highlights, sweep effects, and extra easing functions
• Bundled toolkits — involute gears, mind maps / timelines / catalog diagrams, compass-and-straightedge constructions, algorithm visualisation, automata, circuits, data structures, meshes, neural networks, physics, Rubik's cube, sequence diagrams, and TikZ integration
