turtle.stamp() function in Python

0 0 1 minute read

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.stamp()

This method is used to stamp a copy of the turtleshape onto the canvas and return its id. It doesn’t require any argument. Whatever the shape of the turtle is, it is printed at that point and continues with the next instructions.

turtle.stamp()

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

Example 1:

Python3

# import package
import turtle 
 
# forward turtle by 100
turtle.forward(100)
 
# print the turtle shape
turtle.stamp()
 
# and then continue
# forward turtle by 100
turtle.forward(100)

Output:

Here the middle one arrow is due to the stamp and next is turtle’s head

Example 2:

Python3

# import package
import turtle 
 
# loop for printing some stamps
for i in range(15):
     
    # for motion
    turtle.forward(100+10*i)
     
    # printing turtle shape
    turtle.stamp()
     
    # for pattern
    turtle.right(90)
