Introduction 🎨

Welcome to Spirograph Drawing! This Python script allows you to create vibrant and mesmerizing spirograph drawings using the Turtle module. Get ready to unleash your creativity with a few lines of code! 🌀🌈

Prerequisites 🛠️

Before you dive into the world of spirographs, make sure you have Python installed on your machine. If not, you can download it here.

Installation 🐢

No additional modules are required for this script. Just make sure you have Python installed.

Running the Script ▶️

1. Open the script in your favorite Python environment.
2. Run the script. This will launch the Turtle graphics window.

Understanding the Code 🤓

Let's break down the provided Python code for the Spirograph Drawing script:

import turtle as t
import random

myrtle = t.Turtle()
t.colormode(255)

def random_color():
    r = random.randint(0, 255)
    g = random.randint(0, 255)
    b = random.randint(0, 255)
    color = (r, g, b)
    return color

def draw_spirograph(size_of_gap):
    for _ in range(int(360 / size_of_gap)):
        myrtle.color(random_color())
        myrtle.circle(100)
        myrtle.setheading(myrtle.heading() + size_of_gap)

draw_spirograph(5)

Code Explanation:

1. Importing Libraries:

   import turtle as t
   import random
   

   • turtle is a module in Python that provides a way to create simple graphics.
   • random is a module that provides functions for generating random numbers.

2. Creating a Turtle:

   myrtle = t.Turtle()
   t.colormode(255)
   

   • myrtle is an instance of the Turtle class, which is used for drawing.
   • t.colormode(255) sets the color mode to use RGB values ranging from 0 to 255.

3. Generating Random Colors:

   def random_color():
       r = random.randint(0, 255)
       g = random.randint(0, 255)
       b = random.randint(0, 255)
       color = (r, g, b)
       return color
   

   • The random_color function generates a random RGB color and returns it as a tuple.

4. Drawing Spirograph:

   def draw_spirograph(size_of_gap):
       for _ in range(int(360 / size_of_gap)):
           myrtle.color(random_color())
           myrtle.circle(100)
           myrtle.setheading(myrtle.heading() + size_of_gap)
   

   • The draw_spirograph function uses a loop to draw circles in a spirograph pattern.
   • myrtle.color(random_color()) sets the turtle's color to a random color.
   • myrtle.circle(100) draws a circle with a radius of 100 units.
   • myrtle.setheading(myrtle.heading() + size_of_gap) changes the heading of the turtle, creating the spirograph effect.

5. Executing the Drawing:

   draw_spirograph(5)
   

   • This line calls the draw_spirograph function with a size_of_gap of 5, determining the gap between each circle in the spirograph.

The script, when executed, will create a visually appealing spirograph drawing with randomized colors. Adjusting the parameters can lead to various spirograph patterns.

Customizing Your Spirograph 🎨

Feel free to experiment with the script! Adjust the size_of_gap parameter in the draw_spirograph function to change the gap between each circle in the spirograph. You can also modify colors, circle radii, and other parameters to create various spirograph patterns.
