The turtle module provides turtle graphics primitives, in both object-oriented and procedure-oriented ways. Because it uses Tkinter for the underlying graphics, it needs a version of Python installed with Tk support.
turtle.settiltangle()
This function is used to rotate the turtleshape to point in the direction specified by angle, regardless of its current tilt-angle. It does not change the turtle’s heading i.e. the direction of movement.
Syntax : turtle.settiltangle(angle)
Parameter:
angle: This method is similar to turtle.tilt() method ( tilt the turtle by angle as input to the current direction ) but turtle.settiltangle() method set the tilt angle as input without taking the current direction.
Below is the implementation of the above method with some examples :
Example 1 :
Python3
# import package import turtle # set turtle position turtle.up() turtle.setpos( - 100 , 0 ) turtle.down() # set turtle speed turtle.speed( 1 ) # set tilt angle to 90 turtle.settiltangle( 90 ) # motion turtle.forward( 100 ) # set tilt angle to 270 (not 90+270=360) turtle.settiltangle( 270 ) # motion turtle.forward( 100 ) |
Output :
Example 2 :
Python3
# import package import turtle # set turtle turtle.speed( 1 ) turtle.up() turtle.setpos( - 50 , 100 ) turtle.down() turtle.shape( "turtle" ) turtle.width( 2 ) # loop for pattern for i in range ( 6 ): # motion turtle.forward( 100 ) # set tilt angle by 180 turtle.settiltangle( 180 ) # print turtleshape turtle.stamp() # move to right by 60 turtle.right( 60 ) # hide the turtle turtle.ht() |
Output :
