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.addshape()
This function is used to Adds a turtle shape to TurtleScreen’s shapelist.
Syntax :
turtle.addshape(name, shape=None)
Parameters:
| Arguments | Description |
| name | name of a gif-file |
| shape | shape is a tuple of pairs of coordinates |
Below is the implementation of the above method with some examples :
Example 1 :
Python3
# import package import turtle # print list of the all # shapes available print(turtle.getshapes()) # add shape to the shape list turtle.addshape(name="gfg.gif",shape=None) # check the updated shape list print(turtle.getshapes()) |
Output :
[‘arrow’, ‘blank’, ‘circle’, ‘classic’, ‘square’, ‘triangle’, ‘turtle’]
[‘arrow’, ‘blank’, ‘circle’, ‘classic’, ‘gfg.gif’, ‘square’, ‘triangle’, ‘turtle’]
Example 2 :
Python3
# import package import turtle # add shape to the shape list as above turtle.addshape(name="gfg.gif",shape=None) # set turtle with new shape # and new position turtle.shape("gfg.gif") turtle.up() turtle.setpos(-10,10) turtle.down() # loop for motion for i in range(22): turtle.fd(40+5*i) turtle.right(90) |
Output :
