Manim Tutorial: Hilbert Curve and L-Systems @MathVisualProofs

Uploaded September 2025 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

This is fifth video in a series inspired by the Talking Maths in Public group, I am trying my hand at showing how I create animations using 3blue1brown's (Grant Sanderson's) Python library ManimGL. The Talking Maths in Public Group encouraged creators to share how they would animate Hilbert Curves. In this video, I code in real time to create an L-system that draws out a level 4 and level 5 Hilbert Curve. In a previous video, I used this process to animate drawing a level 8 Hilbert Curve:

$Gosper Curve L-System : Walking a Plane-Filling Curve In this video, we describe two how to draw a plane filling curve called the Gosper curve using an L-system. While the substitution strings are a bit complicated, the rules for this system are easy to implement and use to draw a level 6 Gosper curve (to dramatic music).

$Building the Wallis Sieve: What’s the Area? In this short, we show how to build the Wallis Sieve using an iterative procedure of cutting remaining square lengths into the next odd and removing the created central square in the corresponding square grid. The question is: can you determine the area of the resulting limiting shape?
