turtle.bgpic() function in Python (original) (raw)
Last Updated : 28 Jul, 2020
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.bgpic()
This function is used to set a background image or return name of the current background image. It requires only one argument "picname". This argument can be used in different ways as follows :
- If picname is a filename, set the corresponding image as background.
- If picname is "nopic", delete background image, if present.
- If picname is None, return the filename of the current backgroundimage.
Syntax :
turtle.bgpic(picname=None)
Below is the implementation of the above method with some examples :
Example 1 :
Python3 `
import package
import turtle
check background image
print(turtle.bgpic())
`
Output :
nopic
Example 2 :
Python3 `
import package
import turtle
set background image
turtle.bgpic("gfg.png")
`
Output :

Example 3 :
Python3 `
import package
import turtle
set background image
turtle.bgpic("gfg.png")
loop for motion
for i in range(20): turtle.forward(5+5*i) turtle.right(90)
delete background image
turtle.bgpic("nopic")
`
Output :
