Let's get back to the turtle module we started looking at in Chapter 3. Remember that to setup the canvas for the turtle to draw on, we need to import the module and the create the 'Pen' object gt gt gt import turtle gt gt gt t turtle.Pen We can now use basic functions to move the turtle around the canvas and draw simple shapes, but it's more interesting to use some of what we've already covered in the previous chapters. For example, the code we used to create a square earlier was gt gt gt...

When you switch it off, the function actually fills in the area you've drawn assuming you've drawn at least part of a shape. So we can easily draw a filled in square by using code we created earlier.
