turtle.filling() function in Python

The turtle module provides turtle graphics primitives, in both object-oriented and procedure-oriented ways. Because it uses Tkinter for the underlying graphics, it needs a version of Python installed with Tk support.

turtle.filling()

This function is used to return fillstate (True if filling, False else). It doesn't require any argument.

Syntax :

turtle.filling()

Below is the implementation of the above method with some examples :

Example 1: Default value

# import package
import turtle

# check the default 
# filling state
print(turtle.filling())

Output :

False

Example 2: Inside fill

# import package
import turtle

# begin the fill and check
# the filling state
turtle.begin_fill()
print(turtle.filling())

Output :

True

Example 3: After fill

# import package
import turtle

# begin fill, do something and
# end fill then check filling state
turtle.begin_fill()
turtle.end_fill()
print(turtle.filling())

Output :

False

Here we get that we can check the filling state anywhere in the program and get True only inside the fill statements ie; either after the begin_fill() method or in between the begin_fill() and end_fill() methods.
