turtle.getshapes() 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.getshapes()

This function is used to return a list of names of all currently available turtle shapes. It doesn’t require any argument.

Syntax :

turtle.getshapes()

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

Example 1 :

Python3




# import package
import turtle
print(turtle.getshapes())


Output :

['arrow', 'blank', 'circle', 'classic', 'square', 'triangle', 'turtle']

Example 2 :

Python3




# import package
import turtle
shapes = turtle.getshapes()
  
  
# set speed to slowest
turtle.speed(1)
  
# draw all shapes
for i in range(len(shapes)):
    
  # shape
  turtle.shape(shapes[i])
    
  # motion
  turtle.forward(100)
  turtle.right(51.42)
  turtle.stamp()
