In this post we will be creating a Python script to draw the number ‘1’ using the turtle library. The turtle library enables us to a virtual canvas where one can draw an endless number of shapes and pictures. It is especially useful for beginners, children and programmers wanting to have some fun – The library is limited only by imagination.
See the snippet of Python code below where we use the Python turtle library to draw the number ‘1’.
import turtle
# Create a turtle object
t = turtle.Turtle()
# Move the turtle to the starting point
t.penup()
t.goto(-100, 0)
t.pendown()
#Draw bottom horizontal line
t.forward(100)
t.backward(50)
#Draw vertical
t.left(90)
t.forward(150)
#Draw top diagonal line
t.left(130)
t.forward(60)
# Hide the turtle
t.hideturtle()
# Exit the turtle window
turtle.done()
The above would output the following to a canvas and leave it open.
If you do create your own, please do share with us as we would love to see!
