turtle.seth() 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.seth()

This method is used to set the orientation of the turtle to to_angle. This method requires only one argument as an angle. 

These two are the Aliases - setheading, seth for this method.

Syntax : turtle.seth(to_angle) or turtle.setheading(to_angle)

Argument: 

to_angle: a number (integer or float)

Set the orientation of the turtle to to_angle. Here are some common directions in degrees (standard - mode) :

• 0 - east
• 90 - north
• 180 - west
• 270 - south

Below is the implementation of the above method with an example :

Example:

# import package import turtle # set direction at 0 # angle using seth turtle.seth(0) # motion turtle.forward(80) turtle.write("East") # back to home turtle.home() # set direction at 90 # angle using sethading turtle.setheading(90) # motion turtle.forward(80) turtle.write("North") # back to home turtle.home() # set direction at 180 # angle using seth turtle.seth(180) # motion turtle.forward(80) turtle.write("West",align="right") # back to home turtle.home() # set direction at 270 # angle using setheading turtle.setheading(270) # motion turtle.forward(80) turtle.write("South") # hide the turtle turtle.ht()
