PYTHON CHAP 4 - Drawing With Turtles

This chapter discusses using the Python turtle module to draw basic shapes and lines. It introduces importing the turtle module, creating a turtle object called t that acts as a pen, and using t's methods like forward(), left(), etc. to draw a box without corners by moving the pen around the screen.

PYTHON CHAPTER 4

Drawing with Turtles


Turtle
The turtle is a nice way to learn some of the basics of
computer graphics, so in this chapter, we’ll use a Python
turtle to draw some simple shapes and lines.
>>> import turtle Importing a module tells Python that you want to use it

Creating a Canvas
Now that we have imported the turtle module, we need to create a
Canvas - a blank space to draw on, like an artist’s canvas. To do so,
we call the function Pen from the turtle module, which automatically
creates a canvas. Enter this into the Python shell:

>>> t = turtle.Pen()
>>> t = turtle.Pen()
import turtle

t = turtle.Pen()

t.forward(50)

t.left(90)
import turtle t.backward(100)
t = turtle.Pen() t.up()
t.right(90)
t.forward(50) t.forward(20)
t.left(90) t.left(90)
t.forward(50) t.down()
t.left(90) t.forward(100)
t.forward(50)
t.left(90)
t.forward(50)

t.reset()
A Box Without Corners
Write a program to draw the four lines shown here (the
size isn’t important, just the shape):
TIPS
#importing turtle module
import turtle

#Initialising the turtle object


tt = turtle.Turtle()

#using built-in function to draw a circle


radius = 100
tt.circle(100)

# Finish by turtle.done() command


turtle.done()
