Examples

The most examples are inspired by Harold Abelson, Andrea diSessa: Turtle Geometry, MIT Press 1986

Start

from ipyturtle import Turtle
t = Turtle()
t

The turtle is drawn on its own part of the screen.

Or integrate the turtle graphic into the page

t2 = Turtle(fixed=False, width=100, height=100)
t2

With width and height you can change the extension of the drawing canvas.

First Steps

t.back(40)
t.forward(100)
t.position()

(0.0, 60.0)

t.right(90)
t.heading()

0

t.forward(150)
t.left(45)

t.back(100)

t.left(45)
t.penup()
t.forward(100)

Square

t.reset() #clear canvas and start again

def square(size):
    for i in range(4):
        t.forward(size)
        t.right(90)

square(20)

Triangel

t.reset()

def triangle():
    for i in range(3):
        t.forward(100)
        t.right(120)

triangle()

Circle

t = Turtle(fixed=False, width=120, height=120)

def circle():
    for i in range(360):
        t.forward(1)
        t.right(1)

t

circle()
