:pr:1347: Restructure vector_field module and add documentation
:class~.VectorField is renamed to :class:~.ArrowVectorField and a new class :class:~.VectorField is added as a superclass for :class:~.ArrowVectorField and :class:~.StreamLines. :class:~.AnimatedStreamLines is removed. It's functionality is moved to :class:~.StreamLines. Added a lot of new options when working with vector fields. :class:~.ShowPassingFlashWithThinningStrokeWidth was moved to the indication module.
:pr:1161: Upgrades to CoordinateSystem and graphing.
Breaking changes were introduced to :class:~.Axes, :class:~.ThreeDAxes, :class:~.NumberPlane and :class:~.NumberLine
All the above now use lists to construct their ranges as opposed to explicitly defining these values. x_range has replaced x_min, x_max and defining the step is much easier with x_step --> x_range : [x_min, x_max, x_step]. There were also many upgrades to these classes which improve their functionality and appearance.
NumberLineOld was introduced to continue support for :class:~.GraphScene, although we are moving away from GraphScene and intend to deprecate it in a future release.
:pr:1013: Refactored the Command Line Interface to use Click instead of Argparse
This change breaks the CLI API to organize the structure of Manim Community's commands, options, and arguments.
To be more in line with POSIX compliant CLI conventions, options for commands are given BEFORE their arguments.
In Argparse: manim basic.py -p -ql
With Click: manim -p -ql basic.py
Although this is primarily a refactor and most of the common options are still there, some options have been added/removed. Use the manim command's --help option, or simply run the command without providing options/arguments to view the help page with the full list of subcommands/options/arguments.
--fps/--frame_rate option which allows for custom fps that don't have to be integer (i.e. 29.97, 23.98, etc.). Users no longer have to specify the FPS from within a config file. Additionally, the --webgl_renderer_fps option has been removed. Use --fps or --frame_rate instead.--renderer option which you can use to select your choice of renderer (e.g. --renderer=opengl). There are currently THREE renderers to choose from!--background_color option. Reassigned the --background_color option's shorthand -c to --config_file.--leave_progress_bars option. Use --progress_bars=leave instead.-l, -m, -h, -k.--sound option. It lost support long ago with the removal of SoX.:pr:1431: Fix CLI bugs
-f which was previously assigned to both --show_in_file_browser and --format by removing -f from --format. A warning is issued that -f will soon move to --format.--format.--output_file/-o option.-qh quality option was interpreted as -q -h, prompting the help page.:pr:1354: Refactored a few functions in space_ops.py, deprecated :func:~.angle_between
