turtle-graphics

I am creating diagrams with the turtle package in Python, and it is successful to some extent, except for one problem. Once turtle generates the diagram that I have in code, it causes the program to say "Not responding" and eventually I have to end the task. I am using Windows 7. Have any of you experienced this or know the root cause? I tried reinstalling Python completely, but that didn't seem to affect the problem. Here is some example code that will make it fail to respond: import turtle from turtle import forward, right, left forward(50) aengelberg I had the same problem (I was on Win 7

I would like to figure out how to save a bitmap or vector graphics image after creating a drawing with python's turtle module. After a bit of googling I can't find an easy answer. I did find a module called canvas2svg , but I'm very new to python and I don't know how to install the module. Is there some built in way to save images of the turtle canvas? If not where do I put custom modules for python on an Ubuntu machine? KilyenOrs from Tkinter import * from turtle import * import turtle forward(100) ts = turtle.getscreen() ts.getcanvas().postscript(file="duck.eps") This will help you; I had

I am trying to double the size of the turtle in the window every time I press x on my keyboard. I tried using .turtlesize(2,2,2) , but that's not right. I need to double every time the key is pressed so if the turtle size is (1,1,1) , it will become (2,2,2) then (4,4,4) and so on each time I press x . This is what I have so far: import turtle turtle.setup(500,500) wn = turtle.Screen() wn.title("Commands") wn.bgcolor("black") tess = turtle.Turtle() tess.shape("triangle") tess.color("red") tess.left(90) def increaseSize(): size = tess.turtlesize() increase = tuple([2 * num for num in size]) tess

My image is too large for the turtle window. I had to enlarge the image because the text I need at each spot overlaps. How do I Resize the window in python? NobodyReally It sounds like you have drawn an image, but it has gone outside the borders of the window, so therefore you need to make the window larger to see the entire image. To resize the window: setup( width = 200, height = 200, startx = None, starty = None) This will make your output window 200X200 (which may be too small for you so you'll need to make those numbers larger.) Here is the URL where I found this information. TurtleDocs

How can I add image to my Turtle Screen using turtle graphics? whenever I use the function addshape I keep getting errors. does turtle graphics got any other way loading/importing images? for example: import turtle screen = turtle.Screen() image = r"C:\Users\myUser\Desktop\Python\rocketship.png" screen.addshape(image) turtle.shape(image) The turtle module does have support for images, but only GIF images, not PNG or any other format. As the docs for addshape say: name is the name of a gif-file and shape is None : Install the corresponding image shape. And if you look at the source , they're

I have a small python script which draws some turtle graphics. When my script has finished running, the turtle screen automatically closes, so to be able to see the graphics for a while I have to use time.sleep(5) at the end of the script to delay the closing. Is there any way I can make this more dynamic, i.e. tell python that I want to control the closing of the window myself? I don't mind if the script can't do anything else while waiting for my command, but I'd prefer if I didn't have to go to the console for a read() or something. Ideally, the canvas should stay open even after the script

I like what the turtle module does in Python and I'd like to output the entire animation of it drawing the shape. Is there a way to do this? GIF/MP4/anything that shows the animation. Note, I know that an external screen recorder will do the job, but I'm looking for a way for the turtle module to do this itself. cdlane Make an animated GIF from Python turtle using Preview on OSX 1) Start with a working program As obvious as that seems, don't be debugging your code while trying to generate the animated GIF. It should be a proper turtle program with no infinite loops that ends with mainloop() ,
