Turtex

This is an extension for the built-in turtle module. It provides functions for ease of development.

Installation

Run the following to install:

pip install turtex

Usage

Different Functions

1. draw_poly
2. draw_line
3. draw_x

draw_poly(number_of_sides, length, turtle_obj = None)

Draws regular polygons (shapes) from the current position which will become the bottom left / top right corner of the shape (It depends on the orientation of the turtle).

Implementation

import turtex

# Configure the turtle to draw different coloured lines and of different thickness.

t = turtex.Turtle()
t.pensize(5)
t.color("black")

# The following code draws a pentagon (shape with 5 sides) with each side of length 15 using t as turtle_obj.

turtex.draw_poly(5, 15, t)

draw_line(start_pos, length, direction_in_angle, turtle_obj = None)

Draws a line from a given point. Turtle object remains at the end of the line after drawing it.

Implementation

import turtex

# Configure the turtle to draw different coloured line and of different thickness.

t = turtex.Turtle()
t.pensize(5)
t.color("black")

# The following code produces a line from (0, 0) of 50 length at 90 degrees(North) using t as turtle_obj.

turtex.draw_line((0, 0), 50, 90, t)

draw_x(start_pos, length, line_colour_top_left, line_colour_top_right, line_colour_bottom_left, line_colour_bottom_right, turtle_obj = None)

Draws an 'x' shape.

Implementation

import turtex

# Configure the turtle to draw lines of different thickness.

t = turtex.Turtle()
t.pensize(5)

# The following code produces a line from (0, 0) of 50 length with
# colors red, orange, yellow, green for the top_left, top_right, bottom_left,
# bottom_right lines respectively using t as turtle_obj.

turtex.draw_x((0, 0), 50, "red", "orange", "yellow", "green", t)

# Changing colormode to enter colors in rgb values.

turtex.colormode(255)
turtex.draw_x((0, 0), 50, (255, 0, 0), (255, 127, 0), (255, 255, 0), (0, 255, 0), t)
