Draw Basic Shapes with Python Turtle

This tutorial demonstrate how to draw basic shapes with python turtle. turtle is a small package which uses to draw basic shapes to some complex shapes. You can go to the Turtle documentation page for further information.

First of all you need to import turtle package to your project.

 from turtle import *   

Then you need to define line color and fill color. I choose line color as  #FFD445 and fill color as #3475a9

 color('#FFD445', '#3475a9')  

Now I am ready to draw shapes. before we start drawing we need to invoke begin_fill() method and need to invoke end_fill() after the drawing.

Lets draw some basic shapes with turtle. !

Shape #1 - Line

 #!/usr/bin/python3
from turtle import *

color('#FFD445', '#3475a9')
goto(0,0)
forward(200)  

We need to call done() method to avoid immediate closing the turtle window.

 #!/usr/bin/python3
from turtle import *

color('#FFD445', '#3475a9')
goto(0,0)
forward(200)
done()  

 

Shape #2 - Square

 #!/usr/bin/python3
from turtle import *

color('#FFD445', '#3475a9')
goto(0,0) #turtle goes to (0,0) coordinate position
begin_fill() #begining of filling

for i in range(4):
    forward(200) #draw 200 lenghy line
    left(90) # turn 90 degrees to left hand side

end_fill() #ending the filling
done()  

 

Shape #3 - Circle

 #!/usr/bin/python3
from turtle import *

color('#FFD445', '#3475a9')
goto(0,0) #turtle goes to (0,0) coordinate position
begin_fill() #begining of filling

circle(150) #circle with radius of 150

end_fill() #ending the filling
done()  

Shape #4 - Equilateral Triangle

 #!/usr/bin/python3
from turtle import *

color('#FFD445', '#3475a9')
goto(0,0) #turtle goes to (0,0) coordinate position
begin_fill() #begining of filling

for i in range(3):
    forward(200)
    left(120) #turn 120 degree to the left side

end_fill() #ending the filling
done()  

Shape #5 - Polygon

 #!/usr/bin/python3
from turtle import *

color('#FFD445', '#3475a9')
goto(0,0) #turtle goes to (0,0) coordinate position
begin_fill() #begining of filling

for i in range(6):
    forward(200)
    left(60) #turn 120 degree to the left side

end_fill() #ending the filling
done()  

That's All for today !!
