This is a very basic implementation of turtle graphics in JavaScript with JSXGraph. Here, we use SVG (on Firefox, Safari, Opera and Chrome) and VML (on Internet Explorer). CanvasTurtle does the same on browsers which support the canvas element.

List of available commands

There is a predefined turtle object t. Therefore, all commands start with t, like t.fd(100);

  • t.forward(len); or t.fd(len);
  • t.back(len); or t.bk(len);
  • t.right(angle); or t.rt(angle); ([math]\displaystyle{ 0\leq angle \leq 360 }[/math])
  • t.left(angle); or t.lt(angle);
  • t.penUp(); or t.pu();
  • t.penDown(); or t.pd();
  • t.clean(); or t.cs();
  • t.setPos(x,y);
  • t.home();
  • t.hideTurtle(); or t.ht();
  • t.showTurtle(); or t.st();
  • t.setPenSize(size); (size: number)
  • t.setPenColor(col); (col colorString, e.g. 'red' or '#ff0000')
