[issue10531] write tilted text in turtle

[Ammar Askar]

Ammar Askar  added the comment:

I don't think backwards compatibility matters too much for the turtle package 
but the way its proposed in the initial report makes it so that text in 
previous versions would now be angled to the turtle's heading.

To keep the previous behavior a keyword arg could be added but given that this 
package is mostly for learning and fun, that might complicate it a little.

Aside from that, the patch to add this is fairly trivial now.

c.create_text(100, 100, angle=90.0, text='test text')
is a tclerror in 8.5 and works in 8.6.

This would be a fun feature to add. The next step on this issue would be to 
determine if this can be accomplished with Tk 8.6.

Could this now be implemented in the turtle module?

Joe Metcalfe j.g.metca...@gmail.com added the comment:

Turtle is built on top of Tk, which is currently at version 8.5 - this has no 
ability to rotate text. When Tk version 8.6 arrives it should be able to write 
rotated text (see 
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/tkinter-discuss/2010-November/002490.html) and 
turtle.py could be updated to take advantage of it.

[issue10531] write tilted text in turtle

[Yingjie]

New submission from Yingjie lany...@yahoo.com:

First of all, I'd like to express my deep gratidute to the author of this 
module, it is such a fun module to work with and to teach python as a first 
programming language.

Secondly, I would like to request a feature if it is not too hard to achieve. 
Currently, you can only write texts horizontally, no matter what is the current 
orientation of the turtle pen. I wonder if it is possible to write text in any 
direction when we control the heading of the turtle? For example, the following 
code would write a vertically oriented text:

 setheading(90) #turtle facing up
 write(vertical text!)

Thanks a lot!

Yingjie
