Aryan: Well… I think by now you have become familiar with most of the working of the turtle
environment, canvas, pen and drawing shapes, filling them with any color etc. So, let me ask you
something:
Suppose you want to do the following with your turtle:
Change pen color to red
Ø
Change fill color to green
Ø
Change pen size to 10 (width of outline)
Ø
Change pen speed to 4
Ø
Gowri: Can you write the code?
Aryan: Yes..I can.. It will be:
Turtle.pencolor(“red”)

Turtle.fillcolor(“green”)

Turtle.pensize(10)
Turtle.speed(4)

Am I correct?

Gowri: Yes..but you can use just one line of code instead of these all by using
Turtle.pen(pencolor=”red”, fillcolor=”green”, pensize=10, speed=4)
Aryan: Sorry ..I am not able to understand it..

Gowri: No issues..I will give an example to make things more clear to you..

Observe the pen size and other things that are written in bracket and compare them with
the result that is here..It is very easy to do.

1.10 CLONING THE TURTLE

Gowri: Do you know, We can create clone ( similar copy ) of a turtle by using clone() function – it
creates an exactly same copy of the pen at the same position. It can be used when we
want to have two or more copies of the turtle on the same drawing screen.
