In the quickstart tutorial https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/tutorials/quickstart.html
The transform method is introduced : https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/tutorials/quickstart.html#transforming-a-square-into-a-circle
A little after, in Using .animate syntax to animate methods, the ReplacementTransform method is used.
It is confusing for new learner because they don't know why this new function is used instead of the other.
The docs should either :
- Only use the
transform method (if possible)
- Only use the
ReplacementTransform method (if possible)
- Keep using
transform and ReplacementTransform but explain the new method
