Draw Ellipse Using Turtle in Python

Prerequisite: Turtle Programming Basics

Turtle is an inbuilt module in Python. It provides drawing using a screen (cardboard) and turtle (pen). To draw something on the screen, we need to move the turtle (pen). To move turtle, there are some functions i.e forward(), backward(), etc.

Approach:

Following steps are used :

Import turtle
Divide the ellipse into four arcs
Define a method to form these arc in pair
Call the function.

Below is the implementation :

Python3

# import package 
import turtle 
  
# method to draw ellipse 
def draw(rad): 
      
  # rad --> radius of arc 
  for i in range(2): 
      
    # two arcs 
    turtle.circle(rad,90) 
    turtle.circle(rad//2,90) 
  
# Main section 
# tilt the shape to negative 45 
turtle.seth(-45) 
  
# calling draw method 
draw(100)

Output :

Draw design using ellipse Shape

Following steps are used :

Import turtle
Set Screen
Divide the ellipse into four arcs
Define a method to form these arc in pair
Call the function multiple times for different colors.

Below is the implementation :

Python3

# import package and making object 
import turtle 
screen = turtle.Screen() 
  
# method to draw ellipse 
def draw(rad): 
      
  # rad --> radius for arc 
    for i in range(2): 
        turtle.circle(rad,90) 
        turtle.circle(rad//2,90) 
  
# Main Section  
# Set screen size 
screen.setup(500,500) 
  
# Set screen color 
screen.bgcolor('black') 
  
# Colors 
col=['violet','blue','green','yellow', 
     'orange','red'] 
  
# some integers 
val=10
ind=0
  
# turtle speed 
turtle.speed(100) 
  
# loop for mutiple ellipse 
for i in range(36): 
      
    # oriented the ellipse at angle = -val 
    turtle.seth(-val) 
      
    # color of ellipse 
    turtle.color(col[ind]) 
      
    # to access different color 
    if ind==5: 
        ind=0
    else: 
        ind+=1
      
    # calling method 
    draw(80) 
      
    # orientation change 
    val+=10
  
# for hiding the turtle 
turtle.hideturtle()

Output :
