turtle.fillcolor() function in Python

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.fillcolor()

This method is used to return or set the fillcolor. If turtleshape is a polygon, the interior of that polygon is drawn with the newly set fillcolor.

Syntax : turtle.fillcolor(*args)

Parameters:

  • fillcolor() : Return the current fillcolor as color specification string, possibly in hex-number format.
  • fillcolor(colorstring) : It is a Tk color specification string, such as “red” or “yellow”.
  • fillcolor((r, g, b)) : A tuple of r, g, and b, which represent, an RGB color, and each of r, g, and b are in the range 0 to colormode
  • fillcolor(r, g, b) : r, g, and b represent an RGB color, and each of r, g, and b  are in the range 0 to colormode.

Below is the implementation of the above method with some examples :

Example 1 :

Python3




# importing package
import turtle
  
# set turtle
turtle.shape("turtle")
turtle.turtlesize(3,3,1)
  
# check by default value
print(turtle.fillcolor())
  
# set blue color
turtle.fillcolor("blue")
  
# check fillcolor value
print(turtle.fillcolor())


Output :

black
blue

Example 2 :

Python3




# importing package
import turtle
  
# method to draw a star
def star():
    for i in range(5):
        turtle.forward(60)
        turtle.right(144)
  
# method to set position
# and fill color in star
def draw(x,y,col):
    turtle.up()
    turtle.setpos(x,y)
    turtle.down()
    turtle.fillcolor(col)
    turtle.begin_fill()
    star()
    turtle.end_fill()
  
# Driver Code
draw(-100,0,"red")
draw(-50,0,"yellow")
draw(0,0,"blue")
draw(50,0,"green")
  
# hide the turtle
turtle.hideturtle()


Output :
