Method Detail

done

public void done()

Description copied from class: Turtle

Most of the Turtle routines count as a single step of the program. So, after they run, they stop the controller; the timer running in Turtles will restart the controller when it's time for the next step. The method done() is called whenever you want to end a step of the turtle's motion. By default, it is called after any method that changes the state of the turtle (color, pen, location, heading).

Overrides:

done in class Turtle

lt

public void lt(double angle)

Description copied from class: Turtle

Make a left turn. See the warning on @see{rt(double angle)}.

Overrides:

lt in class Turtle

Parameters:

angle - How far to turn, in degrees.

move

public void move(double distance)

Description copied from class: Turtle

Ask the turtle to move forward the specified distance along its current heading. This will draw a trail if the pen is down.

Overrides:

move in class Turtle

Parameters:

distance - How long a line to draw.

plot

public void plot(double x,
                 double y)

rt

public void rt(double angle)

Description copied from class: Turtle

Make a right turn. Note that the turn angle is a double, a decimal number. Be careful of integer vs. double errors when using this: rt(360 / 16) will turn 22°, not 22.5. So, you should instead say rt(360. / 16.).

Overrides:

rt in class Turtle

Parameters:

angle - How far to turn, in degrees.
