turtle.tilt() function in Python (original) (raw)

Last Updated : 15 Jul, 2025

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.tilt()

This function is used to rotate the turtleshape by the angle from its current tilt-angle, but do NOT change the turtle's heading (direction of movement).

Syntax :

turtle.tilt(angle)

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

Example 1 :

Python3 `

import package

import turtle

set turtle screen

sc=turtle.Screen() sc.setup(500,300)

set turtle

turtle.speed(1) turtle.up() turtle.setpos(-200,0) turtle.down() turtle.shape("square") turtle.width(2)

motion

turtle.forward(200)

tilt turtleshape by 45

turtle.tilt(45)

motion

turtle.forward(200)

`

Output :

Example 2 :

Python3 `

import package

import turtle

set screen

sc=turtle.Screen() sc.setup(500,350)

set turtle

turtle.speed(1) turtle.up() turtle.setpos(-50,100) turtle.down() turtle.shape("turtle") turtle.width(2)

loop for pattern

for i in range(6):

# motion
turtle.forward(100)

# tilt turtleshpae by 180
turtle.tilt(180)

# print turtleshape
turtle.stamp()

# move to right by 60
turtle.right(60)

hide the turtle

turtle.ht()

`

Output :
