Copying style and position of TexMobject

See original GitHub issue

I saw it somewhere in the manim tutorial by TheoremofBeethoven but I cannot find it anymore.

I have the following TexMobject:

        formula = TexMobject("2x", "=", "8")
        formula.move_to(DOWN*2)
        formula[0].set_color(RED)
        formula[2].set_color(BLUE)

Now the seperate parts are already individually aligned on the screen. Now I want to change formula[0] to for example x, but with the same style and position as it currently is.

How do I do that most efficiently? I could create a new TexMobject, then move it to formula[0] and set the color again to RED, but I think you can copy all those attributes/properties, right?

I don’t know if I understood your problem correctly; I think you’re looking for
formula[0].match_style(x)
It makes the stroke, the fill, and the background-related properties the same.

This is exactly it! Thank you! I will now close this issue.
