                        Creating Shapes


                                  in Scratch










                  Now you will learn how to draw shapes in Scratch by writing scripts. To draw shapes in

                  Scratch, you will use Pen blocks. Let us learn about Pen blocks now.

                         PEN BLOCK


                  The Pen blocks are green in colour. These blocks draw a trail as the Sprite moves on the
                  stage. You can change the colour of the pen. In Scratch 3.0, you have to add Pen blocks to
                  the block category. To do so, follow the given steps:


                                                   2  Click on  Pen  option.  The  Pen
                                                  blocks are added to the Code tab.




















                          1  Click on the Add Extension button
                          at the bottom left corner of the Code tab. A
                          Choose an Extension window opens.

                  Now let us learn about some of the Pen blocks and what they are used for:

                                    block erases everything drawn by the pen.

                       Clicking  on              block  creates a  duplicate  of  the  current  Sprite.  The  image is

                      stamped on the stage. To see the image, click on the Sprite and drag. A duplicate of the
                      Sprite appears behind it.
