| Turtle Pen | |
| turtle.pen(pencolor=”red”, pensize=10, fillcolor=”black”) | Pens have attributes such as color, size, and fillcolor. |
| turtle.up() | Sets the pen state to be up (not drawing). |
| turtle.down() | Sets the pen state to be down (drawing). |
| turtle.color(r,g,b) | See below |
| turtle.color(s) | Sets the color that the pen will draw until the color is changed. It takes either 1) three arguments, each a floating point number between 0.0 — 1.0, where the first the amount of red, the second is the amount of green, and the third is the amount of blue, or 2) a “color string” the name of a TK color (e.g., “black”, “red”, “blue”, …) |
| turtle.begin_fill() | See below |
| turtle.end_fill() | To fill a figure, use turtle.begin_fill() before you start drawing the figure. Draw the figure. Then execute turtle.end_fill(). The figure drawn between the two fill commands will be filled with the present color setting. |
| turtle.hideturtle() | See below |
| turtle.showturtle() | Sets the state to hide / show the turtle. When shown, you see it as a small arrowhead pointed in the direction of the heading. |
| turtle.fill(True) | To fill a figure, use turtle.fill(True) before you start drawing the figure. The figure drawn will be filled with the present color setting. |
| Turtle Draw | |
| turtle.right(degrees) | Turns the direction that the turtle is facing right (clockwise) by the amount indicated (in degrees). |
| turtle.left(degrees) | Turns the direction that the turtle is facing left (counterclockwise) by the amount indicated (in degrees). |
| turtle.forward(distance) | Moves the turtle forward (in the direction the turtle is facing) the distance indicated (in pixels). Draws a line if the pen is down, not if the pen is up. |
| turtle.backward(distance) | Moves the turtle backward (in the direction opposite to how the turtle is facing) the distance indicated (in pixels). Draws a line if the pen is down, not if the pen is up. |
| turtle.setheading(angle) | Sets the orientation of the turtle to angle. Here are some common directions in degrees: 0 (east) 90 (north) 180 (west) 270 (south) |
| turtle.goto(x,y) | Moves the turtle to the specified coordinates, drawing a straight line to the destination (x,y) if the pen is down, and not drawing if the pen is up. |
| turtle.circle(radius) | Draws a circle of the indicated radius. The turtle draws the circle tangent to the direction the turtle is facing. |
| Turtle other | |
| turtle.xcor(),turtle.ycor() | Returns the x – coordinate / y – coordinate of the current pen position. |
| x, y = turtle.pos() | Sets the variables x and y to the turtle’s current position |
| turtle.exitonclick() or turtle.done() | To prevent the screen from closing. |
| turtle.bye() | Close the turtle drawing window |
| turtle.speed(integer) | Set the animation speed of the turtle. 1 = slowest, 10 = fastest. 0 turns off animation completely |
| turtle.shape(‘turtle’) | Set the shape. You can also choose from arrow, square, circle, triangle and classic |
