CT (CLEAR TEXT)

Friends! Now, we can draw figures without any break. But sometimes, we need to draw figures with
break in between
To draw lines with break in between, we need to use PEN commands
When we draw lines countinuously, PEN commands are not used

PU (PEN UP)
This command lifts turtle up. Then it moves without drawing any line

PD (PEN DOWN)
This command will put pen down so that turtle can start drawing lines again according to next given
command

PE (PEN ERASE)
This command erases lines, which are already drawn on screen. After getting this command, the turtle
works as eraser. The FD or BK commands follow this commannd with number of steps to erased

PPT (PEN PAINT)


After you erase with PE command and want turtle to draw lines again, you have to bring pen back by
giving PPT command
