turtle.hideturtle() 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.hideturtle()

This method is used to make the turtle invisible. It’s a good idea to do this while you’re in the middle of a complicated drawing because hiding the turtle speeds up the drawing observably. This method does not require any argument.

Syntax:

turtle.hideturtle() or turtle.ht()

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

Example 1 :
