VSCode extension for live preview of current scene in editor

[marcel-goldschen-ohm]

manim-viewer is a Visual Studio Code extension that includes 1) an outline view of all Manim scenes in the active editor for a python file and 2) a live view of the currently cursor-selected scene so that you are always viewing the scene you are working on without having to click through any menus. Swapping scenes in the viewer is as simple as clicking on the code for another scene in the editor.

You can install Manim Viewer via Visual Studio Code's extension marketplace.

The main benefit of this extension over a similar extension (Manim Sideview) is there is no need to go through menus to select a scene. Just click on the scene code in the editor to bring it up in the viewer. Also caches the scene code to avoid unecessary re-rendering and cleans up partial video files for you.

Hope it is useful!
