turtle.clear() function delete the turtle’s drawings from the screen. It does not affect the turtle’s current state (position, heading, color, etc.) and drawings made by other turtle objects remain untouched.
Syntax:
turtle.clear()
Parameters: This function does not take any parameters.
Returns: This function does not return anything. It simply clears the drawing made by the specific turtle object.
Examples
Example 1 : Clearing a single turtle’s drawing
import turtle
turtle.forward(100)
turtle.right(90)
turtle.forward(100)
turtle.right(90)
turtle.forward(100)
turtle.clear()
turtle.done()
Output :
Explanation: The turtle draws part of a square, but turtle.clear() erases its entire drawing while keeping the turtle’s state (position, heading) unchanged.
Example 2 : Clearing drawings of selected turtles
import turtle
t1 = turtle.Turtle()
t1.up()
t1.setpos(-100, 50)
t1.down()
t1.circle(50)
t2 = turtle.Turtle()
t2.up()
t2.setpos(50, 50)
t2.down()
t2.circle(50)
t3 = turtle.Turtle()
t3.up()
t3.setpos(50, -100)
t3.down()
t3.circle(50)
t4 = turtle.Turtle()
t4.up()
t4.setpos(-100, -100)
t4.down()
t4.circle(50)
t1.clear()
t3.clear()
turtle.done()
Output :
Explanation: Here, four turtles draw circles at different positions. Using clear() on t1 and t3 removes only their drawings, while t2 and t4 remain unaffected.
