Introduction<a class="headerlink" href="#introduction" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2> <p>Turtle graphics is a popular way for introducing programming to kids. It was part of the original Logo programming language developed by Wally Feurzig and Seymour Papert in 1966.</p> <p>Imagine a robotic turtle starting at (0, 0) in the x-y plane. After an <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">import</span> <span class="pre">turtle</span></tt>, give it the command <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">turtle.forward(15)</span></tt>, and it moves (on-screen!) 15 pixels in the direction it is facing, drawing a line as it moves. Give it the command <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">turtle.right(25)</span></tt>, and it rotates in-place 25 degrees clockwise.</p> <p>By combining together these and similar commands, intricate shapes and pictures can easily be drawn.</p> <p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#module-turtle" title="turtle: Turtle graphics for Tk"><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">turtle</span></tt></a> module is an extended reimplementation of the same-named module from the Python standard distribution up to version Python 2.5.</p> <p>It tries to keep the merits of the old turtle module and to be (nearly) 100% compatible with it. This means in the first place to enable the learning programmer to use all the commands, classes and methods interactively when using the module from within IDLE run with the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-n</span></tt> switch.</p> <p>The turtle module provides turtle graphics primitives, in both object-oriented and procedure-oriented ways. Because it uses <a class="reference internal" href="tkinter.html#module-Tkinter" title="Tkinter: Interface to Tcl/Tk for graphical user interfaces"><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">Tkinter</span></tt></a> for the underlying graphics, it needs a version of Python installed with Tk support.</p> <p>The object-oriented interface uses essentially two+two classes:</p> <ol class="arabic"> <li><p class="first">The <a class="reference internal" href="#turtle.TurtleScreen" title="turtle.TurtleScreen"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">TurtleScreen</span></tt></a> class defines graphics windows as a playground for the drawing turtles. Its constructor needs a <tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Tkinter.Canvas</span></tt> or a <a class="reference internal" href="#turtle.ScrolledCanvas" title="turtle.ScrolledCanvas"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">ScrolledCanvas</span></tt></a> as argument. It should be used when <a class="reference internal" href="#module-turtle" title="turtle: Turtle graphics for Tk"><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">turtle</span></tt></a> is used as part of some application.</p> <p>The function <a class="reference internal" href="#turtle.Screen" title="turtle.Screen"><tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">Screen()</span></tt></a> returns a singleton object of a <a class="reference internal" href="#turtle.TurtleScreen" title="turtle.TurtleScreen"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">TurtleScreen</span></tt></a> subclass. This function should be used when <a class="reference internal" href="#module-turtle" title="turtle: Turtle graphics for Tk"><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">turtle</span></tt></a> is used as a standalone tool for doing graphics. As a singleton object, inheriting from its class is not possible.</p> <p>All methods of TurtleScreen/Screen also exist as functions, i.e. as part of the procedure-oriented interface.</p> </li> <li><p class="first"><a class="reference internal" href="#turtle.RawTurtle" title="turtle.RawTurtle"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">RawTurtle</span></tt></a> (alias: <a class="reference internal" href="#turtle.RawPen" title="turtle.RawPen"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">RawPen</span></tt></a>) defines Turtle objects which draw on a <a class="reference internal" href="#turtle.TurtleScreen" title="turtle.TurtleScreen"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">TurtleScreen</span></tt></a>. Its constructor needs a Canvas, ScrolledCanvas or TurtleScreen as argument, so the RawTurtle objects know where to draw.</p> <p>Derived from RawTurtle is the subclass <a class="reference internal" href="#turtle.Turtle" title="turtle.Turtle"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Turtle</span></tt></a> (alias: <tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Pen</span></tt>), which draws on “the” <a class="reference internal" href="#turtle.Screen" title="turtle.Screen"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Screen</span></tt></a> - instance which is automatically created, if not already present.</p> <p>All methods of RawTurtle/Turtle also exist as functions, i.e. part of the procedure-oriented interface.</p> </li> </ol> <p>The procedural interface provides functions which are derived from the methods of the classes <a class="reference internal" href="#turtle.Screen" title="turtle.Screen"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Screen</span></tt></a> and <a class="reference internal" href="#turtle.Turtle" title="turtle.Turtle"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Turtle</span></tt></a>. They have the same names as the corresponding methods. A screen object is automatically created whenever a function derived from a Screen method is called. An (unnamed) turtle object is automatically created whenever any of the functions derived from a Turtle method is called.</p> <p>To use multiple turtles an a screen one has to use the object-oriented interface.</p> <div class="admonition note"> <p class="first admonition-title">Note</p> <p class="last">In the following documentation the argument list for functions is given.
