turtle.speed()
The turtle.speed() method is used to change the speed of the turtle by the value of the argument that it takes. Return or set the turtle’s speed.
Syntax :
turtle.speed(speed=None)
Note:
- The turtle’s speed lies in the range 0-10.
- If input is a number greater than 10 or smaller than 0.5, speed is set to 0.
- Speedstrings are mapped to speedvalues in the following way:
- ‘fastest’ : 0
- ‘fast’ : 10
- ‘normal’ : 6
- ‘slow’ : 3
- ‘slowest’ : 1
- Speeds from 1 to 10 enforce increasingly faster animation of line drawing and turtle turning.
Below is the implementation of the above method with some examples :
Example 1 :
Python3
# import package import turtle # slowest speed turtle.speed(1) # turtle movement turtle.forward(150) |
Output :
Example 2 :
Python3
# import package import turtle # loop for pattern for i in range(10): # set turtle speed turtle.speed(10-i) # motion for pattern turtle.forward(50+10*i) turtle.right(90) |
Output :
turtle.speed() 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.
