Method Details

backward(self, dist)

Move the turtle backward distance.

eqivalent to forward(-dist)

Parameters:: dist - Number of pixels to move.

begin(self, interactive=1)

Start a new layer for drawing.

Use commit() to copy layer to the base window, or use rollback() to throw away the layer and return to drawing directly to the base window.

begin_fill(self)

Start saving points for filling a polygon later

Each move pushes the current point in to a list. Use commit_fill() to fill inside of the points use rollback_fill() to throw away the list without filling.

blink(self, times=1, delay=350)

Flash the turtle on and off.

Parameters:: times - Number of times to flash.; delay - Length of flash, and delay between flashes (in millisecond).

cCircle(self, radius, color=None, width=None)

Quick drawing circle, centered on current position.

Does not move the turtle (ie, the turtle will be returned to its present location before returning)

"Quick drawing" means that this function draws the circle by calling pygame.draw.circle and not by simulating the drawing of a circle with a number of line segments and turns, which would be much slower.

Parameters:: radius - Radius of circle to draw. The center will be the current location.; color - Color to use for drawing circle, or the string 'random' to choose a random color. Does not affect the turtle's pen color (ie, the pen color will be restored before returning); width - Thickness of line to use when drawing, or Zero (0) to fill with color.

circle(self, radius, clockwise=1, color=None, width=None)

Quick drawing circle. Starting from current position and rotation.

Parameters:: radius - Radius of circle to draw. The center will be 90 degrees from the current direction.; clockwise - Draw the circle turning clockwise from the current position, or if False, turn counter-clockwise.; color - Color to use for drawing circle, or the string 'random' to choose a random color. Does not affect the turtle's pen color (ie, the pen color will be restored before returning); width - Thickness of line to use when drawing, or Zero (0) to fill with color.

clear(self, surface=None)

erase sprite image to background, returning affected rect

Overrides:: pygsear.Drawable.Drawable.clear

clearScreen(self)

Clear the screen to background color.

Does not move the Penguin.

I am considering a shorter name, perhaps cls

commit(self)

Copy drawing layer to base window.

commit_fill(self, color=None)

Fill the polygon of saved points

Start saving points for fill with begin_fill()

Fill is done with pygame.draw.polygon, so if the line of points crosses itself, the fill will turn inside out.

cRectangle(self, side_length=20, side_width=10, width=None, color=None, bgColor=(0, 51, 0, 0))

Quick drawing routine for rectangles.

Rectangle is centered on current position.

Parameters:: side_length - length of 1st and 3rd sides drawn; side_width - length of 2nd and last sides drawn; width - thickness of outline of rectangle width 0 means rectangle should be filled with color; color - RGB tuple, color of rectangle; bgColor - background color. Note that rectangle is not constrained to align horizontally or verically.

cSquare(self, side_length=20, width=None, color=None, bgColor=(0, 51, 0, 0))

Quick drawing routine for squares.

Square is centered on current position.

Parameters:: side_length - length of all sides drawn; width - thickness of outline of square width 0 means square should be filled with color; color - RGB tuple, color of square; bgColor - background color. Note that square is not constrained to align horizontally or verically.

draw(self, surface=None)

draw image, returning affected rect

Overrides:: pygsear.Drawable.Drawable.draw

forward(self, dist)

Move the turtle forward a distance

Parameters:: dist - Number of pixels to move.

get_deg(self)

return current turtle direction.

Zero (0) degrees is along the positive x-axis.

grow(self, dx=50, dy=50)

Resize the window (larger)

Parameters:: dx - horizontal amount to increase size; dy - vertical amount to increase size

hide(self)

Set the penguin icon invisible

home(self)

Move back to the home position

left(self, d)

Turn left (counter-clockwise) a number of degrees

Parameters:: d - Number of degrees to rotate counter-clockwise.

line(self, p1, p2)

Draw a line segment between 2 points.

This function ignores the state of the pen. In other words, it will draw a line to the screen in the current color even if the turtle's pen is up.

Parameters:: p1 - One endpoint of line segment.; p2 - Second endpoint of line segment.

lineTo(self, position)

Move turtle to position, drawing a line

Note that this ignores the state of the pen (up or down) and always draws a line in the current pen color.

Parameters:: position - Point (x, y) to draw the line to.

moveTo(self, position)

Move turtle to position, without drawing a line

Parameters:: position - Point (x, y) to move to

nudge_color(self, red=None, blue=None, green=None)

Change the pen color by given amounts.

Amounts can be either integer numbers (to be added to the RGB tuple components), or percentages (to increase or decrease that component by given percent)

ie, if color is (100, 100, 100) before the call, a call to nudge_color(red=50, blue=-10, green="75%") will result in the color being set to (150, 90, 75)

Parameters:: red - Amount to add to R element of color tuple OR a string with the amount to increease the R element.; blue - Amount to add to B element of color tuple OR a string with the amount to increease the B element.; green - Amount to add to G element of color tuple OR a string with the amount to increease the G element.

penDown(self)

Put pen down, ready to draw

penUp(self)

Pull pen up. Most movement will not make a mark.

Note that some functions (circle notably) do not pay any attention to the state of the pen.

rectangle(self, side_length=20, side_width=10, clockwise=1, width=None, color=None, bgColor=(0, 51, 0, 0))

Quick drawing routine for rectangles.

Parameters:: side_length - length of 1st and 3rd sides drawn; side_width - length of 2nd and last sides drawn; clockwise - all turns will be 90 degrees right clockwise 0 means all turns will be 90 degrees left; width - thickness of outline of rectangle width 0 means rectangle should be filled with color; color - RGB tuple, color of rectangle; bgColor - background color. Note that rectangle is not constrained to align horizontally or verically.

refresh(self)

Update the display.

This is useful when your system does not automatically refresh the screen after it gets covered up and then uncovered.

reset(self)

Clear the screen to LBLUE, and return Penguin to home

also reset pen color to WHITE, and turn back to 90 deg (standing straight up)

right(self, d)

Turn right (clockwise) a number of degrees

Parameters:: d - Number of degrees to rotate clockwise.

rollback(self)

Throw out drawing layer.

rollback_fill(self)

Throw out list of saved points

save(self, filename)

Save background (the picture) as filename

Parameters:: filename - name of file to save the image to. if filename ends with .bmp it will be saved as a bmp (bitmap), otherwise, the filename will be made to end with .tga (if it does not already) and the file will be saved as a tga file.

set_background(self, color=None)

Set the background color

Saves the current picture before changing the background color and restores the picture afterward. The picture may not be quite the same if parts of it were drawn using the old bg color.

set_color(self, color=None, r=None, g=None, b=None)

Set the color for drawing.

The caller can choose one of a few ways to set the color:

an RGB tuple can be passed in as the color parameter (or as the first argument)
one or more of r, g, and b parameters can (also) be passed as that portion of the color tuple.

If these are given in addition to the color parameter, these will override the elements in the color tuple. ie. set_color((10, 10, 10), r=50) will set the color to (50, 10, 10)
If these are given with NO color tuple passed, the resulting color will start with the current color, with the new elements being set from the passed parameters ie, if the color is (100, 100, 100) before the call, calling set_color(g=50, b=50) will set the color to (100, 50, 50)
if no parameters are passed at all, the color is set to WHITE.

Parameters:: color - an RGB tuple, or the word 'random' which will choose a color at random from (not quite) all possible.; r - The red value of the color (0 - 255); g - The green value of the color (0 - 255); b - The blue value of the color (0 - 255)

Quick drawing square.

Parameters:: side_length - length of all sides drawn; clockwise - all turns will be 90 degrees right clockwise 0 means all turns will be 90 degrees left; width - thickness of outline of square width 0 means square should be filled with color; color - RGB tuple, color of square; bgColor - background color. Note that square is not constrained to align horizontally or verically.
