turtle.getshapes() Return a list of names of all currently available turtle shapes. >>> screen.getshapes() ['arrow', 'blank', 'circle', ..., 'turtle']

turtle.getscreen() Return the TurtleScreen object the turtle is drawing on. TurtleScreen methods can then be called for that object. >>> ts = turtle.getscreen() >>> ts <turtle._Screen object at 0x...> >>> ts.bgcolor("pink")

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...>

turtle.getcanvas() Return the Canvas of this TurtleScreen. Useful for insiders who know what to do with a Tkinter Canvas. >>> cv = screen.getcanvas() >>> cv <turtle.ScrolledCanvas object ...>

turtle.forward(distance) turtle.fd(distance) Parameters: distance – a number (integer or float) Move the turtle forward by the specified distance, in the direction the turtle is headed. >>> turtle.position() (0.00,0.00) >>> turtle.forward(25) >>> turtle.position() (25.00,0.00) >>> turtle.forward(-75) >>> turtle.position() (-50.00,0.00)

turtle.filling() Return fillstate (True if filling, False else). >>> turtle.begin_fill() >>> if turtle.filling(): ... turtle.pensize(5) ... else: ... turtle.pensize(3)

turtle.fillcolor(*args) Return or set the fillcolor. Four input formats are allowed: fillcolor() Return the current fillcolor as color specification string, possibly in tuple format (see example). May be used as input to another color/pencolor/fillcolor call. fillcolor(colorstring) Set fillcolor to colorstring, which is a Tk color specification string, such as "red", "yellow", or "#33cc8c". fillcolor((r, g, b)) Set fillcolor to the RGB color represented by the tuple of r, g, and b. Eac

turtle.fd(distance) Parameters: distance – a number (integer or float) Move the turtle forward by the specified distance, in the direction the turtle is headed. >>> turtle.position() (0.00,0.00) >>> turtle.forward(25) >>> turtle.position() (25.00,0.00) >>> turtle.forward(-75) >>> turtle.position() (-50.00,0.00)

turtle.exitonclick() Bind bye() method to mouse clicks on the Screen. If the value “using_IDLE” in the configuration dictionary is False (default value), also enter mainloop. Remark: If IDLE with the -n switch (no subprocess) is used, this value should be set to True in turtle.cfg. In this case IDLE’s own mainloop is active also for the client script.

turtle.end_poly() Stop recording the vertices of a polygon. Current turtle position is last vertex of polygon. This will be connected with the first vertex.
