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.onclick()

This function is used to bind fun to a mouse-click event on this turtle or on canvas. 

Syntax :

turtle.onclick(fun, btn=1, add=None) 

Parameters:

ArgumentsDescription
funa function with two arguments, to which will be assigned the coordinates of the clicked point on the canvas
btnnumber of the mouse-button defaults to 1 (left mouse button)
addTrue or False. If True, the new binding will be added, otherwise, it will replace a former binding

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

Example 1 :

Python3
# import package import turtle # method to action def fxn(x,y): # some motion turtle.right(90) turtle.forward(100) # turtle speed to slowest turtle.speed(1) # motion turtle.fd(100) # allow user to click  # for some action turtle.onclick(fxn) 

Output :

Example 2 :

Python3
# import package import turtle # screen object wn = turtle.Screen() # method to perform action def fxn(x, y): turtle.goto(x, y) turtle.write(str(x)+","+str(y)) # onclick action  wn.onclick(fxn) wn.mainloop()
