turtle.get_shapepoly() function in Python

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.get_shapepoly()

This method is used to return the current shape polygon as a tuple of coordinate pairs. It doesn’t require any argument. 

Syntax:

turtle.get_shapepoly()

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

Example 1 :

Python3

# import package
import turtle

# get default shape
print(turtle.shape())

# get default shapeploy
print(turtle.get_shapepoly())

# set some size
turtle.turtlesize(5, 5, 2)

# get default shapeploy
print(turtle.get_shapepoly())

Output :

classic
((0, 0), (-5, -9), (0, -7), (5, -9))
((0.0, 0.0), (-25.0, -45.0), (0.0, -35.0), (25.0, -45.0))

Example 2 :

Python3

# import package
import turtle

# get all shapes
shp=turtle.getshapes()
print(shp)

# loop for getting shapepoly
# of all the shapes
for i in range(len(shp)):
    turtle.shape(shp[i])
    print(turtle.get_shapepoly())

Output :

[‘arrow’, ‘blank’, ‘circle’, ‘classic’, ‘square’, ‘triangle’, ‘turtle’]
