## What it is
Reanimate is a Haskell library for programmatically generating declarative 2D animations based on SVG graphics, inspired by 3b1b's manim. It glues together tools like LaTeX, ffmpeg, inkscape, and potrace to turn Haskell code into mathematical illustrations and videos.

## Use cases
- create math explainer animations with code
- generate SVG animations programmatically in Haskell
- render mathematical typesetting animations with LaTeX
- animate GeoJSON map projections
- produce GIF or video animations from vector drawings
- trace and animate raster images as vectors

## When to choose
- you want code-driven, declarative animations with a mathematical focus
- you prefer Haskell's purely functional style for animation scripting
- you need SVG-based vector graphics with introspection and tool integration

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI-based animation editor
- you don't want to learn Haskell
- you need real-time or interactive 3D animation tooling

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: animation, graphics, image-processing, video-processing, templating
- domain: graphics, web-development, education, data-visualization
- platform: windows, cross-platform
- tags: haskell, svg, declarative-animations, manim-inspired, latex, reactive-programming, gif, math-illustrations, linux, macos
