The cairo-backend branch of 3b1b/manim: Rendering on the CPU using cairo. Relatively stable, no longer be developed.

If you want to contribute to manim:

why could be such situation： self.play(grid.animate.apply_function… then it shows ( AttributeError: ‘NumberPlane’ object has no attribute ‘animate’）

Please open a new issue. I guess you are using the old version of 3b1b/manim.
