Here is a version that does fill: from turtle import * import time setup(width=1000, height=700, startx=0, starty=0) for n in range(2): color_name = 'red' x, y = 50, 50 color(color_name) print color_name up() goto(x, y) down() begin_fill() goto(x, -y) goto(-x, -y) goto(-x, y) end_fill() print "end_fill()" goto(x, y) time.sleep(1) clear() I have no idea why this one works and yours doesn't. Your program is very similar to the filled square in turtle.demo() which does work. The filling is implemented by drawing a polygon on a Tkinter Canvas; is there something strange about polygons?
