Draw Diamond shape using Turtle graphics in Python

Last Updated : 11 Jun, 2021

In this article, we are going to learn how to draw the shape of a Diamond using turtle graphics in Python.

Turtle graphics:

forward(length): moves the pen in the forward direction by x unit.
right(angle): rotate the pen in the clockwise direction by an angle x.
left(angle): rotate the pen in the anticlockwise direction by an angle x.

Approach:

Import the turtle modules.
Define an instance for the turtle.
First, make the bigger triangle
Then make three lines inside the bigger triangle
Then make 4 small triangles
Then make one line above these four triangles

Below is the Python implementation of the above approach:

Python3

# python program
# import for turtle module
import turtle

# defining instance of turtle
pen = turtle.Turtle()
wn = turtle.Screen()

# this is for bigger triangle
pen.left(60)
pen.forward(200)
pen.left(120)
pen.forward(200)
pen.left(120)
pen.forward(200)
pen.left(150)

# this for making three lines
# inside the bigger triangle
pen.forward(174)
pen.backward(174)
pen.left(16.5)
pen.forward(180)
pen.backward(180)
pen.right(31.5)
pen.forward(180)
pen.right(75)

# this is for making upper triangle1
pen.forward(53)
pen.left(120)
pen.forward(50)
pen.left(120)
pen.forward(50)

# this is for making upper triangle2
pen.right(120)
pen.forward(50)
pen.left(120)
pen.forward(50)

# this is for making upper triangle3                    
pen.right(120)
pen.forward(50)
pen.left(120)
pen.forward(50)

# this is for making upper triangle1
pen.right(120)
pen.forward(50)
pen.left(120)
pen.forward(50)
pen.left(180)
pen.forward(50)

# this is for making line above all 4 small triangle 
pen.left(300)
pen.forward(160)
