turtle — Gráficos Turtle

Código-fonte: Lib/turtle.py

Introdução

Gráficos turtle é uma forma popular de introduzir programação para crianças. Era parte da linguagem de programação Logo desenvolvida por Wally Feuzeig, Seymour Papert and Cynthia Solomon em 1967.

Imagine uma tartaruga robótica começando em (0, 0) no plano x-y. Depois de um import turtle, dê-lhe o comando turtle.forward(15), e ela moverá (na tela!) 15 pixels na direção em que está virada (para frente), desenhando uma linha à medida que ela se move. Digite o comando turtle.right(25), e faça ela girar, no lugar, 25 graus no sentido horário.

Ao combinar esses comandos similares, formas intrincadas e imagens podem ser desenhadas facilmente.

O módulo turtle é uma reimplementação estendida de um módulo de mesmo nome da distribuição padrão do Python até a versão Python 2.5.

Ele tenta manter as características do antigo módulo turtle e ser (quase) 100% compatível com ele. Isso significa, em primeiro lugar, permitir que o programador iniciante use todos os comandos, classes e métodos interativamente ao usar o módulo de dentro do IDLE executado com a chave -n.

O módulo turtle fornece gráficos rudimentares, tanto para programação orientada a objetos quanto procedural. Como ele usa o tkinter como módulo gráfico, ele necessita de uma versão do instalada do Python que suporta o Tk.

A interface orientada a objetos usa essencialmente duas classes (e duas subclasses):

  1. A classe TurtleScreen define as janelas gráficas como um parque de diversões para as tartarugas de desenho. Seu construtor precisa de um tkinter.Canvas ou um ScrolledCanvas como argumento. Deve ser usado quando turtle é usado como parte de algum aplicativo.

    A função Screen() retorna um objeto singleton de uma subclasse TurtleScreen. Esta função deve ser usada quando turtle é usado como uma ferramenta autônoma para fazer gráficos. Como um objeto singleton, não é possível herdar de sua classe.

    Todos os métodos de TurtleScreen/Screen também existem como funções, ou seja, como parte da interface orientada a procedimentos.

  2. RawTurtle (pedido: RawPen) define objetos Turtle que desenham em uma TurtleScreen. Seu construtor precisa de um Canvas, ScrolledCanvas ou TurtleScreen como argumento, para que os objetos RawTurtle saibam onde desenhar.

    Derivada de RawTurtle é a subclasse Turtle (alias: Pen), que se baseia “na” instância Screen que é criada automaticamente, se ainda não estiver presente.

    Todos os métodos de RawTurtle/Turtle também existem como funções, isto é, parte de uma interface procedural orientada à objeto.

A interface procedural fornece funções que são derivadas dos métodos das classes Screen e Turtle. Eles têm os mesmos nomes que os métodos correspondentes. Um objeto de tela é criado automaticamente sempre que uma função derivada de um método de tela é chamada. Um objeto turtle (sem nome) é criado automaticamente sempre que qualquer uma das funções derivadas de um método Turtle é chamada.

Para usar várias tartarugas em uma tela, é preciso usar a interface orientada a objetos.

Nota

Na documentação a seguir, a lista de argumentos para funções é fornecida. Os métodos, é claro, têm o primeiro argumento adicional self que é omitido aqui.

turtle.circle(radius, extent=None, steps=None)
Parâmetros

  • radius – um número

  • extent – um número (ou None)

  • steps – um inteiro (ou None)

Desenha um círculo com dado radius. O centro são as unidades de radius à esquerda da tartaruga; extent – um ângulo – determina qual parte do círculo é desenhada. Se extent não for fornecida, desenha o círculo inteiro. Se extent não for um círculo completo, uma extremidade do arco será a posição atual da caneta. Desenha o arco no sentido anti-horário se radius for positivo, caso contrário, no sentido horário. Finalmente, a direção da tartaruga é alterada pela quantidade de extent.

Como o círculo é aproximado por um polígono regular inscrito, steps determina o número de passos a serem usados. Caso não seja informado, será calculado automaticamente. Pode ser usado para desenhar polígonos regulares.

>>> turtle.home()

11
>>> turtle.fd(50)
turtle.clearstamp(stampid)
Parâmetros

stampid – um inteiro, deve ser o valor de retorno da chamada de stamp() anterior

>>> turtle.position()
(150.00,-0.00)
>>> turtle.color("blue")
>>> astamp = turtle.stamp()
>>> turtle.fd(50)
>>> turtle.position()
(200.00,-0.00)
>>> turtle.clearstamp(astamp)
>>> turtle.position()
(200.00,-0.00)
turtle.clearstamps(n=None)
Parâmetros

n – um inteiro (ou None)

Exclui todos ou o primeiro/último n dos selos da tartaruga. Se n for None, exclui todos os carimbos, se n > 0 exclui os primeiros n carimbos, senão se n < 0 exclui os últimos n carimbos.

>>> turtle.clearstamps(-2)
>>> turtle.clearstamps()
turtle.undo()

Desfaz (repetidamente) a(s) última(s) ação(ões) da tartaruga. O número de ações de desfazer disponíveis é determinado pelo tamanho do buffer de desfazer.

>>> for i in range(4):
...     turtle.fd(50); turtle.lt(80)
...
>>> for i in range(8):
...     turtle.undo()
turtle.speed(speed=None)
Parâmetros

speed – um inteiro no intervalo 0..10 ou uma string de velocidade (veja abaixo)

Define a velocidade da tartaruga para um valor inteiro no intervalo 0..10. Se nenhum argumento for fornecido, retorna a velocidade atual.

Se a entrada for um número maior que 10 ou menor que 0,5, a velocidade é definida como 0. As strings de velocidade são mapeadas para valores de velocidade da seguinte forma:

  • “fastest”: 0

  • “fast”: 10

  • “normal”: 6

  • “slow”: 3

  • “slowest”: 1

Velocidades de 1 a 10 tornam a animação cada vez mais rápida, tanto para o desenho da linha como para a rotação da tartaruga.

Atenção: speed = 0 significa que nenhuma animação ocorre. Para frente/trás faz a tartaruga pular e da mesma forma para esquerda/direita faz a tartaruga girar instantaneamente.

>>> turtle.speed()
3
>>> turtle.speed('normal')
>>> turtle.speed()
6
>>> turtle.speed(9)
>>> turtle.speed()
9

Fala o estado de Turtle

Parâmetros

  • x – um número ou um par/vetor de números ou uma instância de tartaruga

  • y – um número caso x seja um número, senão None

Retorna o ângulo entre a linha da posição da tartaruga para a posição especificada por (x,y), o vetor ou a outra tartaruga. Isso depende da orientação inicial da tartaruga, que depende do modo - “standard”/”world” ou “logo”.

pencolor()

Retorna a cor da caneta atual como string de especificação de cor ou como uma tupla (veja o exemplo). Pode ser usado como entrada para outra chamada color/pencolor/fillcolor.

pencolor(colorstring)

Define pencolor como colorstring, que é uma string de especificação de cor Tk, como "red", "yellow" ou "#33cc8c".

pencolor((r, g, b))

Define a cor da caneta como a cor RGB representada pela tupla r, g, e b. Os valores de r, g, and b precisam estar na faixa 0..colormode, onde colormode é 1.0 ou 255 (ver colormode()).

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. Each of r, g, and b must be in the range 0..colormode, where colormode is either 1.0 or 255 (see colormode()).

fillcolor(r, g, b)

If turtleshape is a polygon, the interior of that polygon is drawn with the newly set fillcolor.

 >>> turtle.fillcolor("violet")
 >>> turtle.fillcolor()
 'violet'
 >>> turtle.pencolor()
 (50.0, 193.0, 143.0)
 >>> turtle.fillcolor((50, 193, 143))  # Integers, not floats

 >>> turtle.fillcolor('#ffffff')
 >>> turtle.fillcolor()
 (255.0, 255.0, 255.0)
turtle.color(*args)

color(colorstring), color((r,g,b)), color(r,g,b)

Inputs as in pencolor(), set both, fillcolor and pencolor, to the given value.

color(colorstring1, colorstring2), color((r1,g1,b1), (r2,g2,b2))

Equivalent to pencolor(colorstring1) and fillcolor(colorstring2) and analogously if the other input format is used.

If turtleshape is a polygon, outline and interior of that polygon is drawn with the newly set colors.

 >>> turtle.color("red", "green")
 >>> turtle.color()
 ('red', 'green')
 >>> color("#285078", "#a0c8f0")
 >>> color()
 ((40.0, 80.0, 120.0), (160.0, 200.0, 240.0))

Veja também: Método da tela colormode().

Preenchimento

turtle.filling()

Retorna fillstate (True se estiver preenchido, False caso contrário).

 >>> turtle.begin_fill()
 >>> if turtle.filling():
 ...    turtle.pensize(5)
 ... else:
 ...    turtle.pensize(3)
turtle.begin_fill()

To be called just before drawing a shape to be filled.

turtle.end_fill()

Fill the shape drawn after the last call to begin_fill().

Whether or not overlap regions for self-intersecting polygons or multiple shapes are filled depends on the operating system graphics, type of overlap, and number of overlaps. For example, the Turtle star above may be either all yellow or have some white regions.

>>> turtle.color("black", "red")
>>> turtle.begin_fill()
>>> turtle.circle(80)
>>> turtle.end_fill()

  • font – a triple (fontname, fontsize, fonttype)

Write text - the string representation of arg - at the current turtle position according to align (“left”, “center” or “right”) and with the given font. If move is true, the pen is moved to the bottom-right corner of the text. By default, move is False.

>>> turtle.write("Home = ", True, align="center")
>>> turtle.write((0,0), True)

Estado da Tartaruga

Visibilidade

turtle.hideturtle()
turtle.ht()

Make the turtle invisible. It’s a good idea to do this while you’re in the middle of doing some complex drawing, because hiding the turtle speeds up the drawing observably.

>>> turtle.hideturtle()
turtle.showturtle()
turtle.st()

Tornar a tartaruga visível.

>>> turtle.showturtle()
turtle.isvisible()

Return True if the Turtle is shown, False if it’s hidden.

>>> turtle.hideturtle()
>>> turtle.isvisible()
False
>>> turtle.showturtle()
>>> turtle.isvisible()
True

Aparência

turtle.shape(name=None)
Parâmetros

name – a string which is a valid shapename

Set turtle shape to shape with given name or, if name is not given, return name of current shape. Shape with name must exist in the TurtleScreen’s shape dictionary. Initially there are the following polygon shapes: “arrow”, “turtle”, “circle”, “square”, “triangle”, “classic”. To learn about how to deal with shapes see Screen method register_shape().

>>> turtle.shape()
'classic'
>>> turtle.shape("turtle")
>>> turtle.shape()
'turtle'
turtle.resizemode(rmode=None)
Parâmetros

rmode – uma das Strings “auto”, “user”, “noresize”

Set resizemode to one of the values: “auto”, “user”, “noresize”. If rmode is not given, return current resizemode. Different resizemodes have the following effects:

  • “auto”: adapta a aparência da tartaruga correspondente ao valor do pensize.

  • “user”: adapts the appearance of the turtle according to the values of stretchfactor and outlinewidth (outline), which are set by shapesize().

  • “noresize”: no adaption of the turtle’s appearance takes place.

resizemode("user") is called by shapesize() when used with arguments.

>>> turtle.resizemode()
'noresize'
>>> turtle.resizemode("auto")
>>> turtle.resizemode()
'auto'
turtle.shapesize(stretch_wid=None, stretch_len=None, outline=None)
turtle.turtlesize(stretch_wid=None, stretch_len=None, outline=None)
Parâmetros

Remark: Every sequence of mouse-move-events on a turtle is preceded by a mouse-click event on that turtle.

>>> turtle.ondrag(turtle.goto)

Subsequently, clicking and dragging the Turtle will move it across the screen thereby producing handdrawings (if pen is down).

Métodos Especiais da Tartaruga

turtle.begin_poly()

Start recording the vertices of a polygon. Current turtle position is first vertex of polygon.

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.

turtle.get_poly()

Return the last recorded polygon.

>>> turtle.home()
>>> turtle.begin_poly()
>>> turtle.fd(100)
>>> turtle.left(20)
>>> turtle.fd(30)
>>> turtle.left(60)
>>> turtle.fd(50)
>>> turtle.end_poly()
>>> p = turtle.get_poly()
>>> register_shape("myFavouriteShape", p)
turtle.clone()

Create and return a clone of the turtle with same position, heading and turtle properties.

>>> mick = Turtle()
>>> joe = mick.clone()
turtle.getturtle()
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.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.setundobuffer(size)
Parâmetros

size – um inteiro ou None

Set or disable undobuffer. If size is an integer, an empty undobuffer of given size is installed. size gives the maximum number of turtle actions that can be undone by the undo() method/function. If size is None, the undobuffer is disabled.

>>> turtle.setundobuffer(42)
turtle.undobufferentries()

Return number of entries in the undobuffer.

>>> while undobufferentries():
...     undo()

Formas compostas

To use compound turtle shapes, which consist of several polygons of different color, you must use the helper class Shape explicitly as described below:

  1. Create an empty Shape object of type “compound”.

  2. Add as many components to this object as desired, using the addcomponent() method.

    Por exemplo:

    >>> s = Shape("compound")
>>> poly1 = ((0,0),(10,-5),(0,10),(-10,-5))
>>> s.addcomponent(poly1, "red", "blue")
>>> poly2 = ((0,0),(10,-5),(-10,-5))
>>> s.addcomponent(poly2, "blue", "red")

  3. Now add the Shape to the Screen’s shapelist and use it:

    >>> register_shape("myshape", s)
>>> shape("myshape")

Nota

The Shape class is used internally by the register_shape() method in different ways. The application programmer has to deal with the Shape class only when using compound shapes like shown above!

Methods of TurtleScreen/Screen and corresponding functions

Most of the examples in this section refer to a TurtleScreen instance called screen.

Controle da Janela

turtle.bgcolor(*args)
Parâmetros

args – a color string or three numbers in the range 0..colormode or a 3-tuple of such numbers

Set or return background color of the TurtleScreen.

>>> screen.bgcolor("orange")
>>> screen.bgcolor()

>>> screen.bgcolor("#800080")
>>> screen.bgcolor()
(128.0, 0.0, 128.0)
turtle.bgpic(picname=None)
Parâmetros

picname – a string, name of a gif-file or "nopic", or None

'nopic'
>>> screen.bgpic("landscape.gif")
>>> screen.bgpic()
"landscape.gif"
turtle.clear()

Nota

This TurtleScreen method is available as a global function only under the name clearscreen. The global function clear is a different one derived from the Turtle method clear.

turtle.clearscreen()

Delete all drawings and all turtles from the TurtleScreen. Reset the now empty TurtleScreen to its initial state: white background, no background image, no event bindings and tracing on.

turtle.reset()

Nota

This TurtleScreen method is available as a global function only under the name resetscreen. The global function reset is another one derived from the Turtle method reset.

turtle.resetscreen()

Reset all Turtles on the Screen to their initial state.

turtle.screensize(canvwidth=None, canvheight=None, bg=None)
Parâmetros

  • canvwidth – positive integer, new width of canvas in pixels

  • canvheight – positive integer, new height of canvas in pixels

  • bg – colorstring or color-tuple, new background color

If no arguments are given, return current (canvaswidth, canvasheight). Else resize the canvas the turtles are drawing on. Do not alter the drawing window. To observe hidden parts of the canvas, use the scrollbars. With this method, one can make visible those parts of a drawing which were outside the canvas before.

>>> screen.screensize()
(400, 300)

Set up user-defined coordinate system and switch to mode “world” if necessary. This performs a screen.reset(). If mode “world” is already active, all drawings are redrawn according to the new coordinates.

ATTENTION: in user-defined coordinate systems angles may appear distorted.

>>> screen.reset()
>>> screen.setworldcoordinates(-50,-7.5,50,7.5)
>>> for _ in range(72):

5
turtle.tracer(n=None, delay=None)
Parâmetros

  • n – inteiro não-negativo

  • delay – inteiro não-negativo

Turn turtle animation on/off and set delay for update drawings. If n is given, only each n-th regular screen update is really performed. (Can be used to accelerate the drawing of complex graphics.) When called without arguments, returns the currently stored value of n. Second argument sets delay value (see delay()).

>>> screen.tracer(8, 25)

  1. name is the name of a gif-file and shape is None: Install the corresponding image shape.

    >>> screen.register_shape("turtle.gif")

    Nota

    Image shapes do not rotate when turning the turtle, so they do not display the heading of the turtle!

  2. name is an arbitrary string and shape is a tuple of pairs of coordinates: Install the corresponding polygon shape.

    >>> screen.register_shape("triangle", ((5,-3), (0,5), (-5,-3)))

Ajuda e Configuração

Como usar a Ajuda

The public methods of the Screen and Turtle classes are documented extensively via docstrings. So these can be used as online-help via the Python help facilities:

  • When using IDLE, tooltips show the signatures and first lines of the docstrings of typed in function-/method calls.

  • Calling help() on methods or functions displays the docstrings:

    >>> help(Screen.bgcolor)
Help on method bgcolor in module turtle:

bgcolor(self, *args) unbound turtle.Screen method
    Set or return backgroundcolor of the TurtleScreen.

    Arguments (if given): a color string or three numbers
    in the range 0..colormode or a 3-tuple of such numbers.


      >>> screen.bgcolor("orange")
      >>> screen.bgcolor()
      "orange"
      >>> screen.bgcolor(0.5,0,0.5)
      >>> screen.bgcolor()
      "#800080"

>>> help(Turtle.penup)
Help on method penup in module turtle:

penup(self) unbound turtle.Turtle method
    Pull the pen up -- no drawing when moving.

    Aliases: penup | pu | up

    No argument

    >>> turtle.penup()

  • The docstrings of the functions which are derived from methods have a modified form:

    >>> help(bgcolor)
Help on function bgcolor in module turtle:

bgcolor(*args)
    Set or return backgroundcolor of the TurtleScreen.

    Arguments (if given): a color string or three numbers
    in the range 0..colormode or a 3-tuple of such numbers.

    Example::

      >>> bgcolor("orange")
      >>> bgcolor()
      "orange"
      >>> bgcolor(0.5,0,0.5)
      >>> bgcolor()
      "#800080"

>>> help(penup)
Help on function penup in module turtle:

penup()
    Pull the pen up -- no drawing when moving.

    Aliases: penup | pu | up

    No argument

    Example:
    >>> penup()

These modified docstrings are created automatically together with the function definitions that are derived from the methods at import time.

Translation of docstrings into different languages

There is a utility to create a dictionary the keys of which are the method names and the values of which are the docstrings of the public methods of the classes Screen and Turtle.

turtle.write_docstringdict(filename="turtle_docstringdict")
Parâmetros

filename – a string, used as filename

Create and write docstring-dictionary to a Python script with the given filename. This function has to be called explicitly (it is not used by the turtle graphics classes). The docstring dictionary will be written to the Python script filename.py. It is intended to serve as a template for translation of the docstrings into different languages.

If you (or your students) want to use turtle with online help in your native language, you have to translate the docstrings and save the resulting file as e.g. turtle_docstringdict_german.py.

If you have an appropriate entry in your turtle.cfg file this dictionary will be read in at import time and will replace the original English docstrings.

At the time of this writing there are docstring dictionaries in German and in Italian. (Requests please to glingl@aon.at.)

How to configure Screen and Turtles

The built-in default configuration mimics the appearance and behaviour of the old turtle module in order to retain best possible compatibility with it.

If you want to use a different configuration which better reflects the features of this module or which better fits to your needs, e.g. for use in a classroom, you can prepare a configuration file turtle.cfg which will be read at import time and modify the configuration according to its settings.

The built in configuration would correspond to the following turtle.cfg:

width = 0.5
height = 0.75
leftright = None
topbottom = None
canvwidth = 400
canvheight = 300
mode = standard
colormode = 1.0
delay = 10
undobuffersize = 1000
shape = classic
pencolor = black
fillcolor = black
resizemode = noresize
visible = True
language = english
exampleturtle = turtle
examplescreen = screen
title = Python Turtle Graphics
using_IDLE = False

Breve explicação das entradas selecionadas:

  • The first four lines correspond to the arguments of the Screen.setup() method.

  • Line 5 and 6 correspond to the arguments of the method Screen.screensize().

  • shape can be any of the built-in shapes, e.g: arrow, turtle, etc. For more info try help(shape).

  • If you want to use no fillcolor (i.e. make the turtle transparent), you have to write fillcolor = "" (but all nonempty strings must not have quotes in the cfg-file).

  • If you want to reflect the turtle its state, you have to use resizemode = auto.

  • If you set e.g. language = italian the docstringdict turtle_docstringdict_italian.py will be loaded at import time (if present on the import path, e.g. in the same directory as turtle.

  • The entries exampleturtle and examplescreen define the names of these objects as they occur in the docstrings. The transformation of method-docstrings to function-docstrings will delete these names from the docstrings.

  • using_IDLE: Set this to True if you regularly work with IDLE and its -n switch (“no subprocess”). This will prevent exitonclick() to enter the mainloop.

There can be a turtle.cfg file in the directory where turtle is stored and an additional one in the current working directory. The latter will override the settings of the first one.

The Lib/turtledemo directory contains a turtle.cfg file. You can study it as an example and see its effects when running the demos (preferably not from within the demo-viewer).

turtledemo — Scripts de Demonstração

The turtledemo package includes a set of demo scripts. These scripts can be run and viewed using the supplied demo viewer as follows:

python -m turtledemo

Alternatively, you can run the demo scripts individually. For example,

python -m turtledemo.bytedesign

The turtledemo package directory contains:

  • A demo viewer __main__.py which can be used to view the sourcecode of the scripts and run them at the same time.

  • Multiple scripts demonstrating different features of the turtle module. Examples can be accessed via the Examples menu. They can also be run standalone.

  • A turtle.cfg file which serves as an example of how to write and use such files.

Modificações desde a versão do Python 2.6

  • The methods Turtle.tracer(), Turtle.window_width() and Turtle.window_height() have been eliminated. Methods with these names and functionality are now available only as methods of Screen. The functions derived from these remain available. (In fact already in Python 2.6 these methods were merely duplications of the corresponding TurtleScreen/Screen-methods.)

  • The method Turtle.fill() has been eliminated. The behaviour of begin_fill() and end_fill() have changed slightly: now every filling-process must be completed with an end_fill() call.

  • A method Turtle.filling() has been added. It returns a boolean value: True if a filling process is under way, False otherwise. This behaviour corresponds to a fill() call without arguments in Python 2.6.

Modificações desde a versão do Python 3.0

  • The methods Turtle.shearfactor(), Turtle.shapetransform() and Turtle.get_shapepoly() have been added. Thus the full range of regular linear transforms is now available for transforming turtle shapes. Turtle.tiltangle() has been enhanced in functionality: it now can be used to get or set the tiltangle. Turtle.settiltangle() has been deprecated.

  • The method Screen.onkeypress() has been added as a complement to Screen.onkey() which in fact binds actions to the keyrelease event. Accordingly the latter has got an alias: Screen.onkeyrelease().

  • The method Screen.mainloop() has been added. So when working only with Screen and Turtle objects one must not additionally import mainloop() anymore.

  • Two input methods has been added Screen.textinput() and Screen.numinput(). These popup input dialogs and return strings and numbers respectively.

  • Two example scripts tdemo_nim.py and tdemo_round_dance.py have been added to the Lib/turtledemo directory.
