turtle.isvisible() Return True if the Turtle is shown, False if it’s hidden. >>> turtle.hideturtle() >>> turtle.isvisible() False >>> turtle.showturtle() >>> turtle.isvisible() True

turtle.isdown() Return True if pen is down, False if it’s up. >>> turtle.penup() >>> turtle.isdown() False >>> turtle.pendown() >>> turtle.isdown() True

turtle.ht() Make the turtle invisible. It’s a good idea to do this while you’re in the middle of doing some complex drawing, because hiding the turtle speeds up the drawing observably. >>> turtle.hideturtle()

turtle.home() Move turtle to the origin – coordinates (0,0) – and set its heading to its start-orientation (which depends on the mode, see mode()). >>> turtle.heading() 90.0 >>> turtle.position() (0.00,-10.00) >>> turtle.home() >>> turtle.position() (0.00,0.00) >>> turtle.heading() 0.0

turtle.hideturtle() turtle.ht() Make the turtle invisible. It’s a good idea to do this while you’re in the middle of doing some complex drawing, because hiding the turtle speeds up the drawing observably. >>> turtle.hideturtle()

turtle.heading() Return the turtle’s current heading (value depends on the turtle mode, see mode()). >>> turtle.home() >>> turtle.left(67) >>> turtle.heading() 67.0

turtle.goto(x, y=None) turtle.setpos(x, y=None) turtle.setposition(x, y=None) Parameters: x – a number or a pair/vector of numbers y – a number or None If y is None, x must be a pair of coordinates or a Vec2D (e.g. as returned by pos()). Move turtle to an absolute position. If the pen is down, draw line. Do not change the turtle’s orientation. >>> tp = turtle.pos() >>> tp (0.00,0.00) >>> turtle.setpos(60,30) >>> turtle.pos() (60.00,30.00) >>>

turtle.get_shapepoly() Return the current shape polygon as tuple of coordinate pairs. This can be used to define a new shape or components of a compound shape. >>> turtle.shape("square") >>> turtle.shapetransform(4, -1, 0, 2) >>> turtle.get_shapepoly() ((50, -20), (30, 20), (-50, 20), (-30, -20))

turtle.get_poly() Return the last recorded polygon. >>> turtle.home() >>> turtle.begin_poly() >>> turtle.fd(100) >>> turtle.left(20) >>> turtle.fd(30) >>> turtle.left(60) >>> turtle.fd(50) >>> turtle.end_poly() >>> p = turtle.get_poly() >>> register_shape("myFavouriteShape", p)

turtle.getturtle() turtle.getpen() Return the Turtle object itself. Only reasonable use: as a function to return the “anonymous turtle”: >>> pet = getturtle() >>> pet.fd(50) >>> pet <turtle.Turtle object at 0x...>
