Turtle Cheat Sheet

This document provides a cheat sheet of common methods in the Python turtle module, including methods to control the turtle's movement direction and position, set its pen and fill colors, draw shapes, and hide or show the turtle. Some key methods are turtle.forward() and turtle.backward() to move the turtle, turtle.left() and turtle.right() to turn it, and turtle.color() to set the pen color.

 Turtle  Cheat  Sheet  


turtle.up():  Sets  the  pen  state  to  be  up  (not  drawing).  
 
turtle.down():  Sets  the  pen  state  to  be  down  (drawing).  
 
turtle.right(degrees):    Turns  the  direction  that  the  turtle  is  facing  right  (clockwise)  by  
the  amount  indicated  (in  degrees).  
 
turtle.left(degrees):  Turns  the  direction  that  the  turtle  is  facing  left  (counter  
clockwise)  by  the  amount  indicated  (in  degrees).  
 
turtle.forward(distance):  Moves  the  turtle  forward  (in  the  direction  the  turtle  is  
facing)  the  distance  indicated  (in  pixels).  Draws  a  line  if  the  pen  is  down,  not  if  the  pen  is  up.  
turtle.backward(distance):  Moves  the  turtle    backward  (in  the  direction  opposite  to  
how  the  turtle  is  facing)  the  distance  indicated  (in  pixels).    Draws  a  line  if  the  pen  is  down,  not  if  
the  pen  is  up.  
 
turtle.setheading(angle):  Sets  the  orientation  of  the  turtle  to  angle.  Here  are  some  
common  directions  in  degrees:  0  (east),  90  (north),  180  (west),  270  (south).  
 
turtle.goto(x,y):  Moves  the  turtle  to  the  specified  coordinates,  drawing  a  straight  line  to  
the  destination  (x,y)  if  the  pen  is  down,  and  not  drawing  if  the  pen  is  up.      
 
turtle.color(r,g,b),  turtle.color(s)  /  turtle.fillcolor(r,g,b),  
turtle.fillcolor(s):    Sets  the  color  of  the  line  /  fill  color  that  the  pen  will  use  until  the  
color  /  fill  color  is  changed.    It  takes  either    
1. three  arguments,  each  a  floating-­‐point  number  between  0.0—1.0,  where  the  first  
indicates  the  amount  of  red,  the  second,  the  amount  of  green,  and  the  third  the  amount  
of  blue;  or  
2. a  “color  string”  –  the  name  of  a  Tk  color  (e.g.,    “black”,  “red”,  “blue”,  …)  
The  default  pen  color  and  fill  color  is  “black”.    
 
turtle.circle(radius):  Draws  a  circle  of  the  indicated  radius.  The  turtle  draws  the  circle  
tangent  to  the  direction  the  turtle  is  facing.      
 
turtle.begin_fill(),  turtle.end_fill():    To  fill  a  figure,  use  turtle.begin_fill()  
before  you  start  drawing  the  figure.  Draw  the  figure.    Then  execute  turtle.end_fill().    The  figure  
drawn  between  the  two  fill  commands  will  be  filled  with  the  present  color  setting.  
 
turtle.hideturtle(),  turtle.showturtle():  Sets  the  state  to  hide  /  show  the  
turtle.    When  shown,  you  see  it  as  a  small  arrowhead  pointed  in  the  direction  of  the  heading.  
 
turtle.xcor(),  turtle.ycor():  Returns  the  x-­‐coordinate  /  y-­‐coordinate  of  the  current  
pen  position.  
 
turtle.bye():  Close  the  turtle  drawing  window.
